Farmers face increasing pressure to achieve more within tighter harvest windows each year. To meet these demands, Case IH has introduced the AF11 combine, a groundbreaking Class 10+ machine designed to maximize productivity, efficiency, and reliability in the field.
With an impressive 775 horsepower, the AF11 is built for power and performance. Featuring the first-ever AFXL2 dual rotor system paired with an active and dynamic cleaning system, the combine sets a new standard for harvesting capacity. These innovations ensure consistent crop flow, reduce grain loss, and deliver unmatched throughput from header to spreader.
Innovation Meets Performance
“The AF11 directly addresses the challenges growers face, from unpredictable harvest windows to labor shortages,” says Leo Bose, Harvesting Segment Leader at Case IH. “It’s not just about capacity; it’s about combining cutting-edge technology with real-world benefits like increased efficiency and reliability.”
Key features of the AF11 include:
- 567-bushel grain tank and a 6-bushel-per-second unload rate—the top stats for a Class 10+ combine.
- Radar-controlled residue management to maintain consistent performance.
- Improved fuel efficiency and a larger fuel tank to maximize runtime.
- Case IH’s Harvest Command automation system, designed to optimize machine settings in real-time for peak performance under all conditions.
Built for Growers’ Needs
The AF11 reflects Case IH’s commitment to farmer-focused design. “Our development process identified the need for speed, capacity, and throughput,” explains Bose. “With AFXL2 dual rotor technology, the AF11 empowers growers to harvest more in less time.”
For Drew Baker, a farmer near Winnipeg, Manitoba, the AF11 represents a game-changer. “If we can cut grain losses, do more in a day, burn less fuel, and improve efficiency, that’s a real advantage,” says Baker.
Technology-Driven Solutions
The AF11 also brings advanced precision tools to simplify harvest operations. With connectivity and automation solutions, such as Harvest Command, the AF11 opens new possibilities for growers, even with less experienced operators. These features improve return on investment (ROI) through shared analytics and diagnostics, offering unmatched control and convenience.
“The AF11 elevates harvest management, whether or not the farmer is in the driver’s seat,” Bose adds. “Our technology optimizes machine performance in real-time, tackling even the toughest harvest conditions.”
Coming Soon
Available exclusively in North America, the AF11 will debut at the 2024 National Farm Machinery Show, with more details on specifications and pricing to follow.
