Case IH 8240 Combine Parts

8240 parts and accessories

The Case IH 8240 combine, produced from 2014-2018, is a high-capacity machine renowned for its efficient grain harvesting. Featuring a powerful engine producing approximately 480 peak HP and available with header widths up to 45 feet, this combine delivers impressive throughput. Its AFX rotor technology made it a popular choice among farmers seeking reduced grain loss and improved grain quality in various crops.

The Case IH 8240, part of the Axial-Flow series, was manufactured from 2014 to 2018, building upon the legacy of Case IH's single rotor combines. Powering this machine is a FPT (Fiat Powertrain Technologies) engine, specifically an 12.9L Tier 4B/Final diesel engine producing approximately 480 peak horsepower. The heart of the 8240 is its single Axial Flow rotor, designed for gentle threshing and separation, minimizing grain damage. This model boasts a substantial 350-bushel grain tank capacity and an unloading rate of approximately 4.5 bushels per second (270 bu/min). Header widths range widely, from narrow row crop heads to 45-foot draper headers, providing versatility for diverse farming operations. Chopper and spreader options allowed for customizable residue management. The cab offered enhanced comfort and visibility, featuring advanced technology for monitoring performance and optimizing settings. The Case IH 8240 excels in harvesting a wide range of crops, including corn, soybeans, wheat, and other small grains, offering high capacity and excellent grain quality.
