The Case IH 1660 Axial-Flow is a Harvester available in Farming Simulator 17. It is one of the cheapest and smallest Harvesters available in the base game. It has a low maximum speed, high maintenance, and a fairly small fuel tank, but makes up for this by having a relatively large crop capacity for its size.
Advantages[]
- Cheap: The 1660 Axial-Flow is one of the cheapest available harvesters.
- Relatively Large Crop Capacity: The 1660 Axial-Flow has an internal crop capacity equivalent to a New Holland TC5.90, while being almost $30,000 cheaper. Nonetheless, it is more suitable for working low-yield crops, such as Canola, Soybeans or Sunflowers.
Disadvantages[]
- Low Horsepower: The 1660 Axial-Flow is strong enough to operate most Harvesting Headers, but it cannot operate the largest ones at all.
- No Power Transfer: Unlike other Small-class harvesters, the 1660 Axial-Flow cannot turn on any implement attached to its rear.
- Very Short Pipe: The 1660 Axial-Flow's unloading pipe is very short, which means it can only unload into small and medium Tippers (up to and including the Joskin Trance-SPACE 8000). Any attempt to unload into a larger Tipper will result in a collision.
- Slow: The 1660 Axial-Flow is a very slow harvester. While this does not affect speed during the actual harvest procedure, it does make moving the harvester from field to field somewhat long and tedious. Consider using a Low Loader to transport this harvester around.
- High Maintenance: The 1660 Axial-Flow has a maintenance cost per day that is very high for its Horsepower output.
- Deep Rear Attachment Point: The 1660 Axial-Flow's rear attachment points are located deep underneath the harvester. This prevents it from hooking up to certain machines.
