Case IH will display its new Early Riser 2120 rigid trailing planter and Axial-Flow 160 combine series with Harvest Command automated technology at the Farm Progress Show. The manufacturer says both machines put premium technology in the hands of small- to mid-scale operations at a reasonable price. The company also added new 11- and 15-row configurations to its Early Riser 2110 rigid mounted planter series for 2024.

Connect At Farm Progress

The Farm Progress Show occurs from August 29th to the 31st in Decatur, Illinois. Case IH will also debut a new Connect Room at the show to showcase Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) Connect machines and services, which enable operators to gather agronomic data they can apply toward operation management.

A New Planter Rises

Case IH says the Early Riser 2120 is perfect for smaller acreage growers seeking high accuracy and high productivity. The planter comes in 6- and 8-row configurations with 30-inch (76-centimeter) spacing and an 11-row version with 15- or 30-in. (38-cm) spacing. Available options include a 1.9- or a 3-bushel (0.07- or 0.1-cubic meter) on-row hopper and adding a factory-installed liquid or dry fertilizer system designed for the planter.

“Farmers shouldn’t have to overbuy or retrofit equipment to get something that works for their operation,” says Case IH Planter Marketing Manager David Brennan. “The Early Riser has been a rock star since its introduction, delivering early, uniform emergence. These new planter models will deliver on the Early Riser name, with a smaller package for farms that need it.”

Take Command

The Axial-Flow 160 series joins a family of combines that range from 265 to 550 horsepower (197 to 410 kilowatts), with grain tank capacities ranging from 300 to 410 bushels (10,570 to 14,450 liters). The Axial-Flow 160 provides the simplicity of previous models and has an up to 350-bu. (12,333-L) tank capacity, Case IH says. The combine comes with Harvest Command automation technology for corn, soybean, canola, barley, wheat, and rice crops. Harvest Command enables choosing an automation mode and setting the crop type, maximum operating speed, and power limits, with the technology then taking over.

“We know that every field comes with its own unique set of challenges,” says Case IH Harvest Marketing Director Leo Bose. “Harvest Command was designed with built-in technology that helps navigate those field conditions by making automatic adjustments, regardless of the operator’s experience.”
