High Speed Planting Requires Proper Seedbed Preparation

When every plant counts, count on the rugged performance and reliable results of Case IH tillage equipment.

Agronomically Designed

We've built our tillage tools with agronomically designed features that help achieve the proper seedbed for high speed planting. These features help with:

Crop Residue Management
Soil Tilth
Seedbed Conditions

See below how the Tiger-Mate 200 field cultivator, True-Tandem 345 disk harrow and True-Tandem 335VT are agronomically designed.

Tiger-Mate 200 Field Cultivator

Crop Residue Management
Split-the middle design positions the shanks to:
- Handle high amounts of residue
- Spread residue evenly throughout the width of the tool to promote even soil warming and as a result, more even seedling emergence
Soil Tilth
The Tiger-Mate 200 with it's swept back shank and compression spring assembly:
- Allows soil to "boil higher" for even soil and residue mixing as well as residue flow.
- Breaks up compacted soil allowing air and water to move freely through the soil and promotes fast, strong, healthy root development
- Offers 100% sweep coverage for unmatched soil tilth
Seedbed Conditions
Features that provide the desired soil levelness, flat floor, weed control and clod sizing include:
- Shank holding power and design which provides a flat floor and smooth surface, complimenting seed placement accuracy
- 7 inch sweeps provide 2 inch or less clod sizing for maximum soil to seed contact and stand emergence
- Walking tandems in all sections for smooth and easy ride

True-Tandem 345 Disk Harrow

Crop Residue Management
- Effective in fields with light to medium heavy residue levels with 22 in. diameter blades set at 7.5 or 9 inch spacing
- 22 in. diameter blade is sized to cut at a 45 degree angle to the residue surface for the ideal slicing action at up to 4 in. of depth
- Provides superior final residue management in the fall or spring
Soil Tilth
- Breaks through crusty, sealed-over soil with optimum weight per blade and the superb soil-churning action of the True-Tandem disk harrows
- Gangs properly indexed to each other provide a seedbed
- Optimized gang angle of 18 degrees front and back, provides uniform soil flow
- TigerPaw Crumbler sizes clods and stratifies soil particles for max seed-to-soil contact and air/water mixture
Seedbed Conditions
- Opposing forces of mirror-matched gangs reduce drift
- Rear gangs split the cuts of the front gangs for consistent cultivation across the entire width of the tool, leaving no uncut gaps
- The True-Tandem design and 18 degree front and rear gang angle provide a ridge-free, unifrom, level output with minimal bask-side blade pressure and soil compaction
- Optionally, integrally-mounted harrows also distribute remaining surface residue and help ensure a ready-to-plant seedbed

True-Tandem 335VT

Crop Residue Management
- Sizes, distributes and incorporates residue into the soil. This hastens residue decomposition for quicker release of nutrients the new crop can use
- All rotary design handles heavy soybean stubble, wheat stubble or corn stalks with 7.5 in. spacing and 20 in. diameter Earth Metal VT wave blades
- 20 in. diamter blade is sized to cut at a 45 degree angle to the residue surface for the ideal slicing action at up to 3 in. of depth
- With active hydraulic down force controlled from the tractor cab, the double-edge rolling reel puts the final touches on the seedbed in spring and fall
Soil Tilth
Soil Tilth is achieved thanks to the exclusive Earth Metal VT Wavy blade.
- Exclusive shallow concavity, wavy blades that send soil and residue up, over and out and enhances seedbed finishing.
- Breaks through crusty, sealed-over soils, leaving no smear layer under the blade and improving aeration
- No horizontal compaction layer is put into the soil because the blade does not run on the back side, like competitive blades
- Provides excellent mixing of soil and residue, stratifies soil particles (larger on top, smaller on bottom) and aerates the soil surface
Seedbed Conditions
- Feathering disks on the tillage tool's rear gangs eliminate or greatly reduce pass-to-pass ridging
- The blade spacing on each gang provides a flat surface with ideal residue sizing
- The TigerPaw Crumbler reel's active down force maintains steady contact with the ground
- The mounted crumbler sizes clods and increases soil contact with residue for maximum decomposition and reduced wind erosion
- VT blades combined with True-Tandem disk harrow design levels peaks and valleys, remove residue bunching and erase wheel tracks
