Case IH 2188 Combine Parts

2188 parts and accessories

The Case IH 2188 combine, produced from 1994 to 1999, was a popular choice for farmers seeking reliable harvesting performance. Powered by a robust 235 HP Cummins engine, it offered header widths up to 30 feet. Its rotary separator design significantly improved grain separation and reduced losses, making it well-suited for various crops.

The Case IH 2188 combine was manufactured from 1994 to 1999, building upon the success of previous Axial-Flow models. It was powered by an 8.3L Cummins 6CTA 8.3 diesel engine producing 235 horsepower. The 2188 utilizes a rotary threshing and separation system with a 30-inch diameter rotor and a 105-inch long cage, providing excellent grain quality and reduced grain loss. It boasts a grain tank capacity of approximately 225 bushels and an unloading auger capable of unloading at a rate of around 1.9 bushels per second (approximately 114 bu/min). Available header widths ranged from 15 to 30 feet, allowing for versatility across different field sizes and crop types. Options included a chopper and spreader for residue management. The cab offered improved operator comfort and visibility compared to earlier models. The 2188 excelled at harvesting a wide variety of crops including corn, soybeans, wheat, and other small grains due to its efficient threshing and separation capabilities.
