Case IH Axial-Flow 6160-7160

Here is the translation of the text to English:

In the history of Axial-Flow, which began in 1977, there have been many model changes. One of the smallest was the update of the 150 series to the 160 series for the year 2024. The smallest model was dropped from the lineup, so now the available models are the 6160 (400 hp) and 7160 (460 hp) equipped with a 9-liter engine. The engines had already been upgraded to Stage V level in the previous model lineup, and exhaust gas recirculation was no longer necessary. The most significant change in the new lineup was the 125-hectoliter grain tank in the larger model. The unloading speed remained at 113 liters per second. The threshing automation was now at the same level as in the larger combines. AFS Harvest Command took care of the optimal adjustments of the machinery and driving speed based on given parameters. Technologies worthy of mention in the advertising included the sieving load sensors and patented multispectral yield cameras. AFS AccuGuide was responsible for automatic steering, and AFS Connect provided data connections to phone/computer.

The Axial-Flow was based on a single longitudinal rotor, with a diameter of 76.2 centimeters, which performed both threshing and separation. Under the threshing section, beater bars were changed according to the crop being harvested (grain, peas, corn). Likewise, interchangeable elements were used in the separation area. The speed of the grain moving through the rotor was adjusted using counter plates, which for the first time were available with electric adjustment instead of screw adjustment. The sieve system was similar to that of a conventional combine. The chopper was placed inside the straw hood so that the straw would fall directly from the rotor onto the chopper. The rotor speed adjustment was now four times faster than before, and the chopper bearing was 70% more durable.
