2017 Case IH Axial-Flow 8240

2017 Case IH Axial-Flow 8240

The Axial-Flow 8240 combine, with 480 hp and 410-bushel tank, provides unmatched horsepower and the performance you've come to expect from Case IH.

Get the job done right with high-capacity features and heavy-duty rotary feeding systems. Enhance crop flow and improve feeding into the combine, resulting in smooth crop flow and reduced wear.

Whether you want simplicity and convenience or superior control, Case IH Axial-Flow combines are available with the rotor technology that is right for you. Featuring our innovative Power Plus CVT combine drive that is belt-free and low maintenance, the design offers unique in-field capabilities to help you harvest more of what you grow.

We pioneered single rotor development back in the 1960s. Since then, refinements, enhancements and improvements have led to the pinnacle in rotor performance — the AFX rotor. The AFX rotor can be set into many configurations, adapting to both crop and threshing conditions.

Features may include:

• Large feeder inlet to match the throughput and capacity of the 240 series combine

• Rock trap beaters spiral design helps prevent rocks from entering the combine

• Longer feeder house length provides optimal after-cut view behind the header

• Lower feeder gearbox handles the high horsepower requirements of chopping corn heads and larger headers

• Intermediate feeder protects the feeder with both a friction clutch on the feeder shaft and a radial pin clutch on the feeder drum, which eliminates the need for belts or chains

• Power Plus Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) combine drive provides continuous variable power, reducing complexity and maintenance

• Four-speed transmission with improved traction

• Maximize your harvest window with robust final drives that create greater durability and quick, seamless performance

• Improved PTO gear case design ensures pumps and drives are operating efficiently throughout the entire rpm range

• Industry-exclusive CVT drive maximizes field efficiency, providing reduced complexity and maintenance

• Automatically match header speed to ground speed with in-cab electronic variable feeder speed control

• Optimize grain savings in downed-corn conditions

• Header and feeder automatically adapt to combine speed and put more grain in your tank

• Patented transition cone vanes and rotor impellers sweep crop from the feeder and gently accelerate it to threshing speed

• Requires no feed accelerator

• Transition cone and impeller draw in approximately 1,100 cubic feet per second through the feeder, providing increased visibility in dusty conditions

• 30-inch diameter AFX rotor design provides gentle, multiple-pass, grain-on-grain threshing along with centrifugal force separation

• ST rice rotor is designed to handle tough rice conditions, while providing smoother feeding and improved operational characteristics

• ST rotor tube diameter has been reduced, with the addition of taller rasp bars, allowing for more of the tough rice straw to work through the entire length of the rotor

• Four modules, each weighing 40 pounds, can be changed within minutes to meet your harvest conditions and type of crop
