Case IH AFX8010 Combine Parts

AFX8010 parts and accessories

The Case IH AFX8010 combine, produced from approximately 2003 to 2006, was a popular choice for farmers seeking high-capacity harvesting. Powered by a robust engine generating significant horsepower, and accommodating header widths up to 36 feet, this combine excelled in various crops. Its advanced Axial-Flow rotary separator contributed to its efficient grain processing, establishing its reputation for productivity.

The Case IH AFX8010 represented a significant step in combine harvester technology. Produced from approximately 2003 to 2006, it built upon the Axial-Flow legacy. It typically featured a Cummins engine producing around 350 horsepower with a displacement of approximately 8.3 liters. The key innovation was its Axial-Flow rotary separator, providing efficient threshing and separation across a variety of crops. The grain tank capacity was a generous 300 bushels, enabling longer harvesting runs before unloading. Its unloading auger boasts a rate of approximately 3 bushels per second. Header widths varied based on the crop, ranging up to 36 feet for small grains. Chopper and spreader options allowed for residue management tailored to specific farming practices. The cab was designed for operator comfort and featured advanced monitoring systems. The AFX8010 was particularly well-suited for harvesting wheat, corn, soybeans, and other small grains, delivering impressive performance and capacity in diverse harvesting conditions.

Maintenance Tips

Concave Adjustment: Regularly check and adjust concave clearance according to the crop being harvested. Proper adjustment minimizes grain loss and damage.
Belt and Chain Tension: Inspect belt and chain tension before each harvest and periodically throughout the season. Loose belts and chains can cause slippage and premature wear.
Sieve and Chaffer Cleaning: Clean the sieves and chaffer screens regularly to remove debris that can impede airflow and reduce cleaning efficiency.
Bearing Greasing: Grease all bearings according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Proper lubrication prevents bearing failure and extends the life of critical components.

History & Background

The Case IH AFX8010 was introduced in the early 2000s as a high-capacity combine, designed to improve harvest efficiency and reduce grain loss. It was part of the Axial-Flow series, which was notable for its single rotor design. The 8010 was significant for its improved capacity and performance compared to previous models, making it a popular choice for large-scale farming operations.
