Case IH Precision Air Carts 2280 & 2330

Two new air cart models from Case IH will enter production this winter, with features designed to simplify operations, expand capacity and increase productivity. The Case IH Precision Air 2280 and Precision Air 2330 will come equipped with two large polyethylene rotational molded tanks and new ISO 11783-compliant electronic controls.

A two-tank model similar to the Case IH ADX3380 three-tank air cart, the Precision Air 2280 will have a total capacity of 280 bushels. The Precision Air 2330 has a total capacity of 330 bushels, and is similar to the current three-tank ADX3430. The new Precision Air seeders match perfectly with the Case IH ATX400 or ATX700 air hoe drills, as well as the Case IH SDX30 and SDX40 single disk no-till air drills.

ISO 11783-compliant electronics

The ISO 11783-compliant electronics on the Precision Air 2280 and 2330 models enable the operator to easily and cost-efficiently use an existing Case IH display. The Precision Air seeders' premium display option, the AFS Pro 600, includes a graphic display with a menu driven setup and air cart calibration. AFS Pro 600 display features "on the go" bin-level indicators; low bin level audible alarm; fan speed; ground speed; shaft rpm; application rate; air velocity; product/acres remaining; and accrued area, which includes individual tank, field, season and lifetime calculations.

If an operator prefers traditional on/off toggle switch control, an optional Auxiliary Switch Unit can be mounted beneath the AFS 200 or AFS Pro 600 display. Mechanical or variable rate hydraulic meter drive systems also are available. In addition, both models also come equipped with a high-capacity load/unload auger, and a fill-rate of 55 bushels per minute. The frame is identical to the existing Case IH three-tank chassis, only shorter, with a twin-plenum design and two airflow control valves per meter box - one on the left and one on the right inboard side of the chassis. The frame doubles as a duct to carry airflow from the fan to meter boxes.
