The 2300 series Axial-Flow combines were in production for 10 years. They were replaced for the year 2008 by the updated 88 series models. Two smaller ones were direct successors to the 2377 and 2388, and the 7088 was a more powerful model in terms of engine than its predecessors. Its Cummins engine was a 9.0-liter instead of the smaller 8.3-liter. Compared to its predecessors, the capacity of the grain elevator and tank unloading was increased. The wheelbase was longer and the front axle stronger.

The Axial-Flow was based on a single longitudinal drum with a diameter of 76.2 centimeters, which handled both threshing and separation. Under the threshing section, rasp bars were changed according to the crop being harvested (grain, peas, corn). Similarly, there were interchangeable elements for the separation area. The sieve system was similar to a conventional combine. The drum’s pipe diameter was smaller than before, which left more space between it and the rasp bars in conditions with abundant straw.

Axial-Flow combines were manufactured in the USA, but the headers came from New Holland’s factory in Belgium. Short, long, and adjustable headers were still available. Axial-Flow was introduced in Finland for the year 2010. Standard equipment here included, among others, an electronic threshing settings memory function, the Auto-Float function for the header, and automatic speed control of the unloading auger according to driving speed.
