Construction

Gang positions perfectly match each other on both sides of the tongue.

• Pull forces are uniformly distributed
• Stability is enhanced
• Straighter, easier pulling
• Fewer field adjustments

Blades in the rear back track directly between the cuts of the front gangs.

• Differs from many competitive, “double-offset” designs
• Provides true, full-width cuts
• Leaves no uncut gaps

The 370 model in 42-foot-4-inch and 46-foot-7-inch sizes features a true five-section design.

• Follows ground contours better and transports narrower than competitor designs
• Heavier-duty walking tandems throughout; 16.5x16.1 FI (E) on center-section mainframe

Results

• Residue sized properly
• Soil mixed thoroughly
• Chemicals incorporated more effectively

Durability

Compared to conventional blades under identical conditions, Earth Metal blades:

Resharpening

Case IH Earth Metal blades actually resharpen as they wear.

• Provides superior cutting performance over an extended blade life
• Helps prevent down time and maintenance labor
• Lowers blade replacement cost

The performance of Earth Metal blades actually improves as they are used, while conventional blades lose their sharpness with wear.

Crimped Center Blades

Case IH True-Tandem 340 and 370 feature flat spools:

• Crimped-center blades with matching flat faces are mounted more securely and are less susceptible to damage
  • Competitive blades are curved at the center, creating spacing issues and movement, which reduces blade strength and makes them prone to wear and tear
• The case-nodular-style spool from Case IH has greater density for more clearance and better residue flow
  • Competitive welded tubes and spools create a weaker gang, and tube-style gangs have less clearance, which creates reduced residue flow
