The new Case IH 5140, 6140 and 7140 combine models from Case IH offer increased engine power and further evolution of the Axial-Flow rotor, and mark the next step in efficient farming with high harvesting speed, excellent grain cleaning and minimised grain losses. All combines also now fulfil the Stage IV emissions legislation and have revised engine power peaking at 449hp on the 7140 model.
Increased engine power and consistent rotor developments have optimised performance in high-yielding crops under European conditions.
“Weather conditions are reducing the ideal harvesting window and farm sizes keep on growing, thus reducing the harvesting time which is available per hectare for the individual operator,” Case IH’s Paul Harrison said. “To compensate for this growing demand, our engineers have yet again made large steps to further improve the performance of our combines.
“The new Case IH 5140/6140/7140 combine models have been optimised to increase throughput and productivity while ensuring highest grain quality and reducing grain losses to almost nil – even when working in tough conditions.”
The combines in the Axial-Flow 140 series are designed to meet the requirements of truly demanding specialists running mid-sized arable operations, from professional farms to contract businesses and machinery syndicates.
“The rotors are optimised for European threshing conditions in all crops – they’re further enhanced with a new rasp bar configuration for gentle threshing and high throughput,” Mr Harrison added. “As the rotors are perfectly matched with the new engines of these combines, available power is used very efficiently. And, equally important, in addition to the consistently high productivity in all crops and harvesting situations, gentle threshing of our rotor ensures that our customers will have top quality grain in their grain tanks.”
The gentle threshing system of Axial-Flow combines is particularly liked by seed growers. The inclusion of the new in-cab operated clean-out system adjusts the cleaning system in such a way that most of the crop is blown out, greatly reducing the time spent to prepare the combine for the next field.
A wide range of headers including variable grain headers, flex headers, pick-up headers, draper headers and corn headers are available in widths of up to 9.3m for the new 140 series combines. These headers are designed specifically for European conditions and allow for making the most of the combine’s capacity.
“The grain tanks on our 6140 and 7140 Axial-Flow combines have a capacity of 10,570 litres,” Mr Harrison said. “When the time for unloading comes, it gets done fast, with a maximum unloading rate of 113 lit/sec. And, as the length of the auger allows the grain trailer to stay in comfortable distance from the combine, operators can even save more time while securely unloading on the go.”
Case IH decided to use SCR exhaust treatment technology right from the start. The reduction of emissions and the excellent reliability of the engines have impressively confirmed this strategy. With HI-eSCR, the next step towards an even cleaner and more efficient future has followed in the meantime.
Developed by the CNH’s in-house engine specialist FPT Industrial, the new HI-eSCR technology is cutting emissions by 95 per cent while further increasing performance, fuel efficiency and reliability.
