There are a lot of tillage tools on the market today that leave fields looking level on the surface, but there is only one dual-season high-speed disk that creates an agronomically correct seedbed from surface to floor. Here are the top 10 things to know about the new Case IH Speed-Tiller™ high-speed disk:
-
It’s a true dual-season tool for primary and secondary tillage — it digs like a disk and finishes like a finisher.
-
It’s the only high-speed disk on the market worthy of the Case IH Agronomic Design™ The Speed-Tiller high-speed disk was put to the test against competitive units, and Case IH agronomists found it was the only tool to create a smooth, more level seedbed floor.

-
Equipped with independently mounted indexed blades that are laterally adjustable, the Speed-Tiller high-speed disk works the entire soil profile, eliminating compacted valleys and humps between where the blades run below the surface.
-
It’s designed to perform at your speed, in your conditions. While some competitive units require 12 to 14 mph for optimal operation, some fields require different speeds and adjustments for effective tillage. Thanks to its rugged build and unique agronomic design, the Speed-Tiller high-speed disk delivers effective, agronomically correct tillage, no matter the speed.
-
With single-point depth adjustment, the Speed-Tiller high-speed disk is easy to set, yet incredibly efficient. An exclusive constant-level hitch delivers deep penetration, consistent disk depth and residue management. The ability to put usable weight on the blades enables the operator to run deeper or transition to roller wheel to optimize tool finish.
-
It’s built rugged and designed to withstand the world’s harshest soil conditions. The Speed-Tiller high-speed disk comes standard with 1.25-inch-thick disk arms, which are the heaviest and strongest on the market — nearly double the thickness of competitive units. Did we mention the heavy-duty rubber torsions and five-bolt disk bearings? The two-inch high-density rubber torsions are among the biggest and most durable in the industry, and the double-taper roller bearings feature a 7-lip seal for superior ruggedness and longer life in abrasive soils.
-
The ground-engaging component — Earth Metal® blades — deliver exceptional durability, while adjustable front disks compensate for disk wear and further extend disk life.
-
It’s equipped with a hydraulically positioned conditioner roller, so you can lift when working through muddy conditions. Even better, you no longer have to make headland turns with the conditioner rollers down.
-
It’s offered with three conditioner attachment options to customize field finish: Crumbler® roller, spring conditioner and rubber roller.
-
The Speed-Tiller 465 high-speed disk is a rigid mounted model, and the Speed-Tiller 475 high-speed disk offers a trailing configuration, allowing for easy folding and narrow transport.
The Speed-Tiller high-speed disk will be available in 2020. For more information, visit your local Case IH dealer.
