How to Set Up Your Case IH Pro 700 Monitor in a 50 Series Combine for Wheat Harvest

Getting your Case IH AFS Pro 700 monitor configured correctly is one of the most important steps before you roll into wheat harvest — and it’s where a lot of operators lose time in the field. In this walkthrough, the service team at Oakley Ag Center shows you how to set up the Pro 700 display in a 50 Series Case IH Axial-Flow combine step by step, so your combine is reading the header and dialed in for wheat before you ever leave the yard.

In this video you’ll learn how to:

  • Navigate the Pro 700 home screen and main setup menus
  • Build the combine and header configuration for wheat
  • Dial in the harvest settings so the monitor reads correctly in the field
  • Avoid the common setup mistakes that turn into service calls mid-harvest

This is for owner-operators and farmhands running a 50 Series Case IH combine who want to handle Pro 700 setup themselves and start wheat harvest with confidence — no dealer trip required.

“Hi folks, Cory Schiltz with Oakley A Center here with a quick reminder on how to sit your Pro 700 up in your 50 series combine for wheat harvest.

First thing we’re going to do is go hit the back button. Go into our toolbox and head one tab and make sure that our header type and width are set up to match our header. Remember that the target work width is the width that our guidance lines will be apart.

Next thing we’ll do is hit the back button. Go into the automation screen.

On the basic tab, make sure we have wheat selected as our crop type. Our work condition is set to either auto default or auto stripper if we’re running a stripper head.

Then we’ll choose our strategy, whether we want performance for the best sample, maximum throughput for the most bushels, or fixed throughput for a certain amount of bushels per hour.

Lastly, on this page, we’ll set our target max ground speed, how fast the combine will travel when using feed rate. On the advanced tab, we want to our adjust frequency and our threshing condition. From there, we’ll adjust our max rotor speed.

Now, we’ll go back, go to our run screens. On run two, we will make sure we have the proper field selected.

Now that our display is properly set up, we’ll want to turn on automation. You’ll know it’s on when the A shows up in the rotor on the screen.

And the last thing is to engage the auto guidance. Once you hear the beep and see the A in the screen, you’re ready to go.

Just a quick reminder from us here at Oakley Ag Center. Wishing everyone a safe and successful harvest.”
