The history of Case IH combine harvester

The history of Case IH combine harvesters brings together the legacy of two pioneers of agricultural mechanisation: J.I. Case, founded in 1842, and McCormick, which later became part of International Harvester. The most significant breakthrough came in 1977 with the introduction of the Axial-Flow 1440 and 1460 combines. Instead of a conventional threshing drum and straw walkers, these machines used a single longitudinal rotor that performed both threshing and grain separation. This solution simplified the machine’s design, reduced grain losses and damage, and enabled efficient operation across a wide range of crops. In 1979, the 1440 and 1460 models made their official European debut at the SIMA agricultural exhibition. In 1985, following the merger of the Case and International Harvester legacies, the Case IH brand was established. Successive generations of Axial-Flow combines were equipped with more powerful engines, larger grain tanks, more comfortable cabs and precision farming systems. Modern models use automated machine settings, satellite guidance, telematics and yield monitoring while retaining the distinctive single-rotor threshing system.
