For customers on version 25.* display software, you will need to complete 3 steps to delete your calibration loads and reset your C values back to the default values so that you can start fresh this harvest.  (The steps below must be completed for each Crop Type for which you want to restore the default calibration values.)

1.  Go to Calibrations > Moisture, and select the Advanced calibration procedure.  Select each Task (one at a time) that is currently used as a moisture calibration Task.  (These will be shown in italics.)  For each Task, change the "Use as Cal Load" selector from "Yes" to "No".  When all Moisture Calibration Tasks have been set to "No", press the Calibrate button in the lower right corner of the screen.

2.  Go to Calibrations > Yield, and select the Advanced calibration procedure.  Select each Task (one at a time) that is currently used as a yield calibration Task.  (These will be shown in italics.)  For each Task, change the "Use as Cal Load" selector from "Yes" to "No".  When all Yield Calibration Tasks have been set to "No", press the Calibrate button in the lower right corner of the screen.

3.  Go to Calibrations > Crop, and select the desired Crop Type (i.e. Corn).  From the "Import Cal Values From" picklist, select "Default".  Press the "Import" button.

The default calibration values for each Crop Type are listed on the righthand side of the Calibrations > Crop screen.  After completing Step 3, compare these values with the default values listed in the Yield Monitor operators manual.  This will confirm that the default values have been restored correctly.

Case IH announces the release of an update for version 10.0 desktop software.  After the update has been installed, the desktop software version will be 10.01.

This update is available for automatic download/installation via the "Check for Updates" feature in the AFS desktop software.  The "Check for Updates" feature allows the desktop software to be updated via an internet connection.  This means that Case IH can deliver software updates to users more quickly, and typically without the need for CDs or other media.

The version 10.01 update does not provide any enhancements related to Case IH AFS file formats, and is not a mandatory update.

For additional information regarding this update, or to request an update CD, contact the Case IH AFS Desktop Software Support Center at 888-CASE-AFS.

To engage AccuGuide on a Case IH combine using an AFS Pro 600 on v25 firmware, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that the "Roading Switch" is in the OFF position.

2. Turn the steering wheel a quarter of a turn left and a quarter of a turn right.  This is required to ensure that the manual override system is detected.

3. Enable guidance by pushing and holding the front side of the guidance enable button.  Hold the button until you hear a tone.

4. Accept the safety information screen on the Pro 600.

5. Ensure that the Pro 600 is receiving GPS signal.

6. Create a new guidance swath or select an existing guidance swath.

7. Engage guidance using the Guidance Engage window on the AFS Pro 600, the guidance enable switch (2x00 and x088 Series combines only), or by double-clicking the Shift button (x088 and 10/20 Series combines only, requires that the feeder is engaged).

Case IH is proud to announce the release of AFS RowGuide for the 2010 harvest season.  Case IH AFS RowGuide provides a new level of accuracy, operator convenience and productivity when it comes to precision harvesting.

AFS RowGuide operates using the current AFS AccuGuide™ system and two mechanical sensors that provide row position data to your combine.  By utilizing advanced GPS positioning and actual data from the mechanical row feelers, accurate row positioning can be achieved and maintained in ever changing harvest conditions.  AFS RowGuide has been designed to provide operators maximum adaptability by maintaining performance whether the field was planted with or without guidance.

AFS RowGuide can be added to any AccuGuide-equipped model year 2007 or newer Axial-Flow 10 or 20 Series combine, and any AccuGuide-equipped Axial-Flow 88 Series combine (5088, 6088, or 7088).  AFS RowGuide can be used with any 30-inch 2200/2400, 3200/3400, or 2600 Series cornhead.

Contact your local Case IH dealer for more details, including pricing and how AFS RowGuide can benefit your operation.
