"Both Case IH and Ramsey Bros have invested heavily into understanding the new model, reviewing parts supply and training our technicians and owners to ensure we are ready to support this new machine”
Justin Smorti, Riverton Branch Manager
Ramsey Bros customers will start taking delivery of Case IH’s new highest-ever capacity AF series combines in time for this year’s harvest.
The revolutionary AF series – including the AF9 and AF10 – was officially launched last year at North America’s Farm Progress Show, honouring the proud reputation of the Case IH Axial-Flow combine while introducing a raft of new design and performance features that take this series to new heights.
The AF10’s 775 horsepower makes it Case IH’s highest horsepower and biggest capacity combine ever in Australia. Its grain-handling capacity has been enhanced with an industry-leading 20,000L grain tank. The AF9 comes in at 634hp with a 16,000L grain tank.
This emphasis on increased horsepower provides the power to maximise crop flow while increasing speeds, without putting any additional pressure on the machine. Built upon the legacy of Axial-Flow singlerotor technology, the AFXL rotor on the AF9 and AF10 are longer than previous series, meaning 50 per cent more separation to process high-yielding crops.
The redesign has also equipped the AF series with a superior unloading rate of 210 Litres per second, a larger fuel tank, and a new cross flow plus cleaning system that’s 32 per cent larger than previous models. CNH ANZ crop harvesting portfolio manager Marc Smith said the AF series represents a game-changing redesign for big broadacre operations where time and efficiency is of the essence.
“These combines are built to handle more crop with faster unloading rates and improved overall speed, alongside advanced connectivity and technology features,” he said. “We’re looking forward to the first of these combines arriving in Australia later this year, so customers can really appreciate how wellsuited this new combine is to Australian conditions, and the challenges of a busy harvest season.”
Ramsey Bros Riverton branch manager Justin Smorti said the AF10 was a completely new and exciting design, engineered from the ground up. “The AF10 is the first class 10 combine that Case IH has released in Australia, re-establishing its place as a global leader in harvesting technology” he said.
“The Case IH Axial Flow combine is revered for reliability and simplicity, and that is where this machine maintains its point of difference while still taking us to industry leading Class 10 performance.
“This machine offers world first combine technology, Class 10 capacity, and throughput, with the added benefits of lower ownership costs, ease of maintenance and ‘Axial Flow’ gentle, grain on grain thrashing.” Mr Smorti said previous testing in Australia from the past year has been nothing short of impressive.
“The customers lucky enough to see the AF10 working last harvest were blown away with what this machine will do, and we’re excited to see the first one in the Mid North get delivered this year,” he said.
“We were fortunate to be one of very few Ultra productive new Case IH AF series combine is here Australian dealers to test the AF 10 in field last year. This has given us a significant knowledge base and practical experience coming into harvest 2025.”
Case IH and Ramsey Bros specialise in high horsepower, broadacre machinery and the AF range is exemplary of this. The AF series offers a full suite of precision technology which make operating the combines more intuitive and efficient.
Greater control and consistency in harvest are found through tailored visibility in the dual Pro 1200 displays as well as real-time machine monitoring, remote view of in-cab displays and visualisation of agronomic data layers through FieldOps.
Part of the AF series’ optimisation is also evident in Case IH’s Harvest Command system, designed to enhance harvest efficiency and productivity, with minimum fuss and maximum performance.
Harvest Command automation monitors everything from ground speed and engine load all the way up to feed rate control and sieve settings, which are based on the feedback received from the loss sensors, a grain camera and sieve pressure sensors.
This advanced technology refines the harvesting process by reducing the number of functions operators need to monitor in the cab. Once the concave clearance and grain tank unload functions are set, Harvest Command takes care of the rest, improving grain quality and grain savings through sensing and optimising machine settings.
