FOR HEAVY RESIDUE AND LEVEL OUTPUT

Striking the right balance between soil tilth, crop residue and seedbed consistency is easier with the new Case IH Ecolo-Tiger® 875. As the most aggressive disk ripper on the market, the Ecolo-Tiger 875 offers excellent residue flow in high-yielding Bt corn stalks thanks to aggressive disk-cutting power, high underframe clearance and minimum 36-inch spacing between points.

ECOLO-TIGER EVOLUTION

The Ecolo-Tiger 875 represents the 8th generation of Ecolo-Tigers, a tradition which began in 1978. With the development of the 875 model, Case IH experts invested five years of intense agronomic research in five states, analyzing five million data points, all with an eye to clearly understanding the field factors likely to impact yield. The Case IH team learned that by better managing residue, soil fracture and most importantly the size of holes and clods left behind, yield potential could be significantly improved. Large holes can collect water, and in combination with large clods they increase the variability in the field, making accurate seed placement at planting impossible. Based on the research findings, as many as 3,000 plants per acre, or 7 to 10 percent of the total stand could be lost to poor seedbed conditions.

ADAPT IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS

One outcome of this research, the Case IH patented double-edge reel, sizes any remaining large clods and levels the soil more to eliminate lost yield potential. In the new Ecolo-Tiger 875, the double-edge reel has a hydraulic option, allowing producers to position the reel from the cab. This best-in-class option allows operators to float over wet spots in the field by raising the basket. It provides level output over varying soil types for improved seed beds and resists plugging in wet conditions. Other rear options include a mechanical-positioned double-edge reel; a 5-bar spike harrow; and a 3-bar coil-tine harrow.

The most aggressive residue-sizing and mixing option on the market today, the new Ecolo-Tiger^® 870 is ideal for sizing Bt corn residue to capture nutrient value and sizing soil clods for a smoother seedbed.

Rugged Construction

The Ecolo-Tiger 870 is built to last:

• Welded, heavy-duty frame for long life
• Earth Metal^® blades, optional cast nodular spools
• 26-in. (660-mm) Cushion Gang^® disks or 24-in. (610-mm) individual disks
• 36-in. (914-mm) underframe clearance with replaceable wear shin for excellent protection against rocks
• 8- or 10-bolt wheels, high-performance tires, heavy-duty replaceable spindles
• All-new shank assembly for improved wear life and durability

250-hour service interval for simple maintenance:

• Poly brushings on all pivot points eliminates the need for greasing
• Fewer bearings and moving parts than other models

Seedbed Preparation

The Ecolo-Tiger 870 output allows for faster, shallower spring field operations resulting in high Net Effective Stands and higher yield potential.

• • Excellent at fracturing root-limiting compaction and creating superior soil tilth
    • 2-in. (51-mm) and 7-in. (178-mm) patented Case IH Tiger^® points on 24-in. (610-mm) centers fracture hardpan
    • Tiger points not only fracture compaction, but also work to relocate soil particles through a unique lifting, twisting and rolling action
    • All shanks run full depth to remove hardpan and restore pore space for drainage and water-holding capacity
  • Effectively sizes and mixes tough Bt corn residue to capture nutrient value
    • Outstanding stalk-cutting ability
    • Cycles nutrients locked up in Bt crop residues
  • Properly conditions soil and residue in advance of later planting operations:
    • Double-edged reel sizes large clods and levels soil
    • Single-rank, opposing disks leave no ridges in the field
    • Superior residue flow increases organic matter content in the soil, promotes water infiltration, and reduces runoff and soil erosion

Double-Edged Reels

Optional, patented, double-edged reels are exclusive to the Ecolo-Tiger 870.

• Double-edged reel is stronger and cuts better than helical flats
• Baskets are close-coupled to welded frame, helping to withstand shock

Ecolo-Tiger 30C

The Ecolo-Tiger® 530C and 730C features are field-tested, proven tools recently improved with more than 23 design updates.

• Smoother residue flow due to:
  • Increased mainframe length
  • Added clearance
  • Increased rank between front and rear disks
• Increased strength
• Improved load ratings
• 24-in. (610-mm)-diameter, shallow-concavity blades
  • Improves residue cutting
  • Enhances soil penetration capability
• Massive 1.5x6-in. (38x152-mm) parabolic shanks and Tiger^® points increase soil tilth
  • Improve water and nutrient absorption
  • Produce better stands and higher yields
  • Ecolo-Tiger 530C, 5-shank requires 175–240 PTO hp (131–179 kW)
  • Ecolo-Tiger 730C, 7-shank requires 245–340 PTO hp (183–254 kW)

Conser-Till 690 Mulch-Till Ripper

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:

• Shallow-concavity front disk blades
• Proven Case IH deep, parabolic shanks with patented Tiger^® points
• Full-concavity rear disk blade

These features provide superior performance without the speed sensitivity of other-brand machines. Two working widths are available:

• 12.5-ft. (3.8-m), 5-shank requires 125–250 PTO hp (93–186 kW)
• 17.5-ft. (5.3-m), 7-shank requires 175–350 PTO hp (130–261 kW)

We have Residue Management down to a perfection

Case IH disk rippers help you cut, size and mix crop residue to reduce erosion and increase production capacity. This effective crop residue management allows you to:

• Increase organic-matter content in the soil
• Provide a soil/residue mixture that allows moisture to penetrate the subsoil faster
• Decrease erosion through improved porosity and drainage
