Market leader in efficiency

CASE IH 140 series Axial-Flow combines retain their value better than any other combine on the market, according to North America’s EquipmentW­atch, the world leader in data, software and insights for the heavy equipment industry.

EquipmentW­atch identified the Case IH 140 series Axial-Flow combine, specifical­ly the Axial-Flow 6140, as retaining the highest percentage of its original value after a five-year period based on the organisati­on’s market activity database.

The Axial-Flow 140 series claimed the same award in 2017 and this year came out on top over other category finalists, the Deere S600, New Holland CR, Massey Ferguson 9500 and Gleaner S8.

Case IH product manager for hay and harvest, Tim Slater, welcomed the recognitio­n for the combine harvester.

“We know the productivi­ty and efficiency benefits of the 140 Series, but this award illustrate­s the value associated with investing in one of these combines as well,” he said.

“The fact the 140 Series Axial-Flow has won this award twice in three years is proof of its reliabilit­y and superior performanc­e over a long period.

“We’re all looking forward to the release of the new 50 Series in Australia this year, but the 140 Series continues to deliver across the board, has all the features you need and represents great value for money.”

AXIAL-FLOW 140 SERIES FEATURES:

■ Cross Flow cleaning system – allowing the cleaning efficiency of the machine to be maintained, even on side slopes

■ Residue management system – giving better control of the residue from the cab (speed and direction)

■ Style concaves – more and lighter in weight (6 vs 3)

■ Clean-out doors – full-width sliding doors to make clean-down easier when changing varieties or locations

■ Two-speed electronic shift transmissi­on – better harvesting speeds with less strain

■ Pivoting spout on all Axial-Flow combines – better control of grain when unloading.
