The company Case, which produces tractors and other agricultural machinery, began working in 1842 in the United States, in the state of Wisconsin. At first, they made only threshers, and over time they expanded the range of equipment. Case combines are used in many countries around the world.
Features of Case combines
Some characteristics of Case combines:
- The number of moving parts in the machinery parts is greatly reduced. This reduces the likelihood of breakage and wear of system elements.
- Case applies specially designed mechanisms and various technologies, thanks to which agricultural machinery works with more than 100 types of crops.
- Cleaning of grain husks is very thorough, which minimizes the probability of losses. Case combines use the Axial Flow system, which cleans the grain while maintaining its integrity. The husks are separated efficiently by centrifugal force. This system significantly reduces inputs while maintaining maximum productivity.
- Case combines are maneuverable. They are used on fields with uneven terrain.
- Grain can be transferred from the hopper to the delivery machine without stopping the combine.
- Fuel consumption is economical.
- Grain storage life is extended due to the fact that the integrity of the grain is preserved during threshing.
- The working area is wide.

Case combines have practically no disadvantages. The peculiarity is that they poorly process straw, which remains on the field after the ears are cut.
