Case IH introduces updates for its Axial-Flow 160 series combines, delivering the latest factory-fit technology including enhanced automation, connectivity and operator comfort for class 6 and 7 segments.  The model year 2027 machines are designed to further simplify harvesting, while increasing performance and connectivity.

Building on the 2024 launch of the Axial-Flow 160 series, when Case IH introduced its Harvest Command combine automation technology from flagship machines into the mid-range segment, the latest updates further advance machine intelligence and digital capabilities. To support faster decision-making and improved machine uptime, the Model Year 2027 update introduces an upgraded on- and offboard technology suite, enabling enhanced automation, connectivity and precision farming capabilities.

This upgrade supports faster data processing, improved diagnostics and seamless integration with digital tools, while enabling remote support capabilities that help reduce service trips and minimize downtime during harvest.

Advanced Pro 1200 dual display

The updated Axial-Flow 160 series features Pro 1200 dual displays, offering an intuitive, tablet-like experience. Operators benefit from:

  • Customisable layouts and multi-touch controls
  • Simultaneous machine and agronomic data visibility
  • Remote Display Viewing that allows operators and support teams to monitor and assist in real-time
  • Advanced diagnostics to help identify and address service needs earlier
  • Integrated Harvest Command combine automation technology, AccuGuide auto guidance and real-time yield monitoring


By separating machine control and agronomic data across two displays, the system improves situational awareness and reduces operator workload during long harvesting days.

The updated Axial-Flow 160 series introduces upgraded precision farming features, including the new Vector Pro receiver for enhanced guidance accuracy. Connectivity Included provides connectivity for the lifetime of the modem with no subscription fees or renewals.

Additional technologies include AccuSync for real-time data sharing between multiple machines and AccuTurn for automated headland turning. Flexible technology packages allow customers to tailor automation and connectivity levels to their needs.

Improved harvesting performance

The Axial-Flow 160 series delivers an upgraded operator environment aligned with the 260 series cab design and architecture, including the Pro 1200 display, identified by the Pro decal.

Operator comfort remains a key focus, with a redesigned cab interior aligned with Case IH flagship combine design. The updated color scheme and improved layout create a more ergonomic and modern working environment.  Further refinements include improved air conditioning airflow management and additional camera inputs, contributing to better visibility, comfort, and overall ease of operation.

The upgraded Axial-Flow 160 series combine is now being introduced across Europe, ahead of its first public appearance at a major international exhibition at EIMA in Bologna, Italy this coming November.
