For the year 1998, the 2300 series Axial Flow combines were introduced. Despite the new model designations, the changes were minor. The control devices were slightly modified, and the air conditioning was now automatic. The noise level was reported to be 72-74 dB. The header came standard with automatic flotation. The rotor’s speed adjustment now featured a three-speed gearbox, with a new middle range overlapping the slow and fast ranges. The rotor drive belt’s durability was promised to be twice that of the previous version. The three-piece straw walker was also said to be more durable than before. Over 100,000 Axial Flow rotary combines had been manufactured over 20 years.

The model corresponding to the 2166 was now the 2365, and the previous 2166 Exclusive was replaced by the 2366. In America, the smaller 2344 was still available. In the fall of 2002, the 2366 and 2388 X-Clusive models introduced in Europe were rated at 253 and 293 ISO horsepower, respectively. The more powerful engine was a 24-valve, electronically controlled unit. The X-Clusive models featured an improved, slightly longer rotor. In 2004, the 2366 on the American market was replaced by the 2377, which had the larger rotor of the 2388.
