Cereals 2024 was one of the first opportunities to catch a glimpse of Case IH’s latest single-rotor 260-series Axial Flow combines.

Mechanically, these are near identical to current 250 series machines, so the only upgrades brought in with the new nomenclature can be found in the cab.

Here, the old Pro 700 screen has been replaced with a pair of the latest Pro 1200 units, as used in the firm’s most recent tractors.

At a simple level, these give operators the benefit of displaying guidance and machine settings at the same time, but the interface is also far more user friendly.

Added to that, it has a more sophisticated automation system that adjusts settings based on information from pressure sensors on the sieves and cameras that monitor sample quality.

Also now fitted as standard is a high-end heated, cooled and massaging leather seat.

The three-model range will be available to buy for harvest 2025, with the 634hp 9260 (pictured) occupying the top spot.
