Case IH historical combines
harvesting equipment
INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER
Sixteen years later, in 1902,
separate developments saw five
companies all involved in the
production of grain harvesting
equipment merge to form
the International Harvester
Company. In 1915, IH produced
its first combine, and eight years
later introduced the Farmall, the
world’s first row crop tractor.
Providing greater productivity,
reliability and safety, it was part
of a revolutionary unified system
of tractors and implements for
all major farm tasks. The firm
went on to sell more than five
million.
In 1977, IH launched a new
combine design that was to
revolutionise high-output
harvesting, bringing with it
more thorough yet gentler
threshing than had previously
been possible. Doing away
with drum-and-concave and
straw walkers, and replacing
them with a single longitudinal
rotor and concave that handled
both threshing and separation
tasks, the Axial-Flow was
revolutionary in its simplicity
and crop adaptability, and
produced significant advances
in grain quality and grain
savings.

THE BIRTH OF CASE IH
Case IH was formed
in 1985, when the then-
parent of JI Case acquired
the agricultural division of
International Harvester, uniting
the legacies of Case and IH
in a single brand. The first
product to be developed
by the merged team of
designers and engineers
was the Magnum tractor, a
clean-sheet design introduced
in 1987 and spanning 155-
246hp. It became the first
tractor to win the Industrial
Design Excellence Award.
Today, after sales of more than
150,000, Magnum retains its
core characteristics, but has
been completely redesigned,
with models of up to 419hp
available, and with a unique
Rowtrac rear track option.
In the 1990s, Case IH
launched its first Advanced
Farming System technology,
enabling farmers to begin to
benefit from developments
such as auto-steering and
yield mapping. With levels of
repeatability down to as little
as 2.5cm, AFS has helped
to maximise the efficiency
of inputs by minimising
wastage.
