Second-generation axial-flow combines unveiled by Case
RACINE, WI - This fall Case
International will begin rolling out
a second generation of Axial-Flow
combines, a revolutionary rotary
design fist introduced in 1977. The
new 1600 Senes machines offer
higher horsepower, increased
elevator capacity, a new feeder
and header reverser, and
numerous other features designed
to enhance productivity and
operator convenience.
A new 1000 Series of grain
headers and com heads will also be
launched. A totally new design,
these headers provide increased
capacity and cutting speeds to
match the larger combines.
The 1600 Senes includes four
self-propelled units; Models 1620,
1640, 1660 and 1680. The 1620, 1660
and 1680 are also available in rice
models. The 1600 series is com
plemented by the current por
duction pull-type Model 1482 and
the hillside Model 1470, The
competitively priced Axial-Flow
combines deliver high efficiency
and productivity.
Increased engine horsepower,
larger grain elevators and in
creased concave area on the
Models 1640,1660 and 1680 enhance
productivity and capacity.

All models feature an increased
cage separating area resulting in
less sensitivity to changing crops
or conditions.
Increased grain elevator
capacity enhances productivity,
especially in high yielding, high
moisture crops such as early corn,
green maize and rice. A new grain
tank delivery system on 1660 rice
and all 1680 models increases
machine capacity and improves
grain flow.
A new specialty rotor for rice
and edible beans, available on all
models, provides more uniform
material flow, more complete
threshing and increased capacity.
The rotor can also be used in crops
which are compatable with nee
and edible beans.
The 1600 Series combines feature
a new electric feeder and header
reverser. When used in con
junction with the new auger lift
reel on the 1000 Series headers, the
reverser allows most
feeder/header plugging to be
cleared from the operator’s seat.
When the reel is raised to its
maximum height, the auger
automatically begins to rise, in
creasing the clearance. The
operator can then activate the
reverser mechanism and clear
slugs in the feeder or header.
Hydraulic reel fore-and-aft control
allows on-the-go reel adjustment.
Improved brakes reduce pedal

Axial-Flow Advantages
In comparison to conventional
cylinder and straw walker
systems, the Axial-Flow combine
provides greater grain retention,
less gram damage, faster har
vesting and easier servicing. The
multiple threshing and separating
action of the Axial-Flow, combined
with centrifugal force, recovers a
higher percentage of gram and
eliminates straw walkers. Multiple
passes over the threshing area
provide more gentle threshing
action with less crop damage.
Large rotors keep grain flowing
quickly through the cage.
Hydrostatic drive allows the
operator to accurately select
maximum operating speeds for all
field and crop conditions. The
streamlined design of the Axial-
Flow combines means fewer parts
to service, thus reducing down
time. Components are easily ac
cessible to minimize daily service
time.
1000 Series Grain Headers
The new grain header line in
cludes the Model 1010 rigid
headers, Model 1015 windrow
pickup headers and Model 1020
flexible cutterbar headers.
The entire line features a new,
larger 23.6-mch (600 mm) diameter
floating auger that substantially
increases header capacity. A new

auger lifl reel allows auger un
plugging from the operator’s seat.
The manual fore-and-aft reel
adjustment has been simplified
using a crank mechanism. An
optional hydraulic reel mechanism
allows on-the-go reel adjustment.
A new, stronger d.Mnch knife
system improves cutting and
reduces header losses, especially
m soybeans and rice.
The flexible header Model 1020
features a new cutterbar height
sensing system, lightweight
flotation mechanism and sim
plified adjustments. The Case
International line now includes the
industry’s largest flexible header.
Six sizes offered ranging up to 30
feet in length.
Specially designed for use in
windrows, the new 1015 pickup
headers provide improved
material flow from pickup to
auger. A wider 154-mch pickup
improves overall performance,
especially in double swathed
windrows

For sert-propfelled combines, six
sizes of rigid headers up to 30 feet
in length and two sizes of pickup
headers, 11 and 13 feet in length,
are available.
1000 Series GOrn Heads
The durable, lightweight design
of the 1000 Series com heads
provides high quality, fuel efficient
performance. Low-profile
gathering units work close to the
ground, for maximum ef
fectiveness when stalks are down
or tangled.
Deeper ear pockets and a slow
speed auger that prevents kick-out
are among the yield-saving
features of the corn heads. A tall
corn attachment is now standard
equipment.
Attaching and detaching the
corn heads has been made easier
with the new quick connect header
shaft drive.
The 1000 Series corn head line
consists of seven sizes ranging
from 4-row narrow to 8-row wide.
