CHASSIS
The 5088, 6088 and 7088 models are based on the renowned Case IH heritage chassis, for growers who prefer the simplicity of the previous 2577 and 2588 platforms, but require additional capacity.
 
The redesigned chassis on 88 Series combines offers increased strength, and shares common styling with 20 Series combines. The entire Case IH Axial-Flow® combine family shares a modern, family look.

Wheelbase
  • A longer wheelbase on 88 Series combines supports larger headers without additional rear ballast
    • Wheelbase has increased from 141.2  - 150.2 in (358.6 - 381.5 cm) for increased stability and smoother operation
  • All 88 Series combines feature a 60/40 front/rear weight distribution – so no ballast is required for any approved Case IH header
Axial-Flow models can be equipped with optional rear power-guide axle for increased traction and mobility.
Axles: Bigger and Stronger
  • All Axial-Flow models can be equipped with optional rear power-guide axle for increased traction and mobility
  • Offset kingpin rear steering axles on 20 Series combines provide a 40% tighter turning radius
  • On 88 Series models, powered and non-powered rear axles incorporate a common center section with increased strength
    • Non-powered guide axle features an offset kingpin design for improved turning radius for larger tires
  • On the 5088 and 6088, the front axle-tube cross-section is larger to support larger headers and grain tank capacity
