BT Residue Tool
With the adoption of Bt hybrids, you need aggressive disk components capable of cutting and mixing the tougher stalks. The Case IH Ecolo-Tiger® 875 tackles Bt residue with:
-
- 24-in. (610-mm) individual disks or optional, huge, 26-in. (660-mm) cushion gang® disks
- 12-in. (304-mm) spacing between gang disks
- A split-the-middle gang position front to back
- Reduces stalk size for improved flow and better mixing
Earth Metal Blades
The Ecolo-Tiger 527B, 530C, 730C and 875 and Conser-Till® 690 are fitted with Earth Metal® blades, which feature:
-
- A 24-in. (610-mm) or 26-in. (Ecolo-Tiger 875 only) diameter
- Patented index position relative to the shanks
- Increased ductility and reduced breakage
- Boron steel that, when heat-treated, enhances the hardness without affecting ductility. This balance allows for a longer wearing blade while providing breakage resistance.
- A flat center that matches perfectly with each nodular cast iron spool. This produces the strongest possible joints with gangs that stay tight.
- A crimped center, which provides added strength in high-stress areas of the disk blade
Conser-Till Unique Features
The Conser-Till 690 mulch-till ripper provides a unique package of conservation-tillage features to break up compaction while keeping crop residue on the surface:
-
- Superior soil penetration with shallow-concavity front disk blades
- Proven Case IH deep, parabolic shanks with patented Tiger Points
- Full-concavity rear disk blade allow for consistent output in the heaviest residue and soil conditions
- These features provide superior performance at ground speeds up to 7 mph (11.3 kph)
