In June 2026, Agroalliance was the first to deliver to Ukraine an exclusive batch of updated Case IH Axial-Flow 6160 combine harvesters of 2026 production. This event is a landmark for the domestic agricultural market: before the start of harvesting early grain crops, the dealer plans to transfer at least 20 machines to farms.

The new product was developed taking into account global updates to the configurator and package configurations of the 2025–2026 model years (MY25/MY26), which makes it an ideal tool for both mobile farms and large agricultural holdings.

Power unit: uncompromising fuel economy without EGR

The Axial-Flow 6160 energy concept is based on a proven philosophy of maximum productivity at minimum costs:

Engine: Reliable FPT Cursor 9 with a volume of 8.7 liters.
Power: The maximum figure is 409 hp, which guarantees stable operation under high loads and with wide-grip headers.
Clean combustion: Thanks to the High Pressure Common Rail fuel system and the absence of an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, the engine operates with higher efficiency. The fuel burns completely, reducing specific consumption and thermal load on the engine compartment.
Fuel tank: A capacity of 950 liters provides a full autonomous change without forced stops for refueling.

Engine power is effectively converted into movement using a modernized hydrostatic transmission, which provides smooth running, precise maneuvering and easy control on any type of soil.

Axial-Flow rotor: half a century of perfection and Ukrainian specification

The key advantage of the model is the legendary single-rotor Axial-Flow threshing system, the concept of which the plant has been improving for over 50 years. Unlike classic drum machines, the Case IH rotor provides multiple, gentle threshing by the “grain-on-grain” friction method.

Effective separation: The rotor with a diameter of 762 mm and a length of almost 2.8 m creates a huge separation area. This allows you to avoid microdamage and grain crushing, which is critically important for seed crops and higher-class commercial grain.
Universal factory set: The supplied machines are equipped with special combined sets of concaves and sieves (grain + corn/sunflower). This allows farmers to quickly reconfigure the combine when switching from small-seeded crops (rapeseed, flax, wheat, barley, peas) to harvesting “heavy” row crops — soybeans, corn and sunflower.
Cleanliness in the bunker: The total cleaning area is 6.24 m². The system is supported by the technology of automatic adjustment of the fan speed depending on the longitudinal inclination of the combine, which minimizes grain losses on slopes and uneven terrain.

Harvest logistics: XL-format bunker and high-speed unloading

The speed of harvesting directly depends on how much time the combine spends on unloading. The Axial-Flow 6160 demonstrates leading rates:

The expected productivity of the combine, depending on yield and crop, ranges from 90 to 143 tons of mass per hour.

Hopper volume: It is 10.53 m³, which allows for less frequent machine stops and optimizes the logistics cycles of accumulation reloading trailers.
High-speed auger: The productivity of the unloading system reaches 113 l/s. A full bunker is emptied in less than a minute and a half.

Package updates: a new level of cab comfort

The 160th series models have received a significant update of the factory configurator. Thanks to the introduction of ready-made comprehensive option packages, machines for the Ukrainian market are delivered in a premium version.

The new cab offers the operator a new level of ergonomics:

Maximum panoramic visibility of the header working area.
Improved sound insulation that protects against fatigue during long night shifts.
Intuitive arrangement of controls on the right armrest, where all key settings for the rotor, cleaning and adapters are at hand.
Beverage cooler.

Digital ecosystem: precision driven by AFS Connect

The modern Axial-Flow 6160 is a full-fledged digital hub. The machines are equipped with a full package of factory precision farming and telemetry systems:

AFS Pro 700 display: The touch monitor integrates control of all combine and navigation systems in a single interface.
Online yield mapping: Integrated high-precision moisture and yield sensors record data in real time, automatically creating field productivity maps for subsequent differentiated fertilizer application.
AFS Connect platform: Thanks to factory telemetry, the farm owner or agronomist can remotely see the location of the combine, its current productivity, fuel level and settings. Agroalliance service is able to conduct remote diagnostics and provide predictive support, preventing malfunctions.

An additional bonus for engineers will be an optimized maintenance schedule. Designers have simplified access to daily service points and increased fluid replacement intervals, which further reduces the cost of ownership of the equipment.

The new delivery of Case IH Axial-Flow 6160 combines from Agroalliance is a powerful injection of innovation into the Ukrainian agricultural sector. The combination of a durable 409-horsepower engine without EGR, a rotary threshing system adapted to different crops, and advanced telemetry guarantees farmers stable harvests in any weather and economic conditions.
