AGRONOMIC DESIGN: CUT, SIZE AND BURY MORE RESIDUE Case IH vertical tillage equipment lets you slice through tough residue, uproot root balls and level out the soil to create the best possible seedbed for your next growing season. Our vertical tillage lineup, which includes the True-Tandem 335VT and the True-Tandem 335 Barracuda, is built on proven Agronomic Design principles with industry-exclusive blades, so you can more effectively control soil and residue. Our patented system moves material up, over and out, stratifying soil particles and increasing aeration for improved soil tilth and seedbed conditioning.
CROP RESIDUE MANAGEMENT
Heavy corn stalks, soybean stubble or wheat stubble are controlled from the tractor cab with the True-Tandem’s patented TigerPaw™ Crumbler ® roller-active hydraulic down force. Its double-edged Crumbler puts the final touches on the seedbed in spring or fall. Precise single- point depth adjustment provides greater control over soil residue cover at planting and fits a wide range of soil types, topographies and management objectives. At speeds of up to 6 to 9 miles per hour, shallow blade concavity helps dig up stubborn root balls and properly mix residue for greater nutrient cycling. Robust frames accommodate higher ground speeds and provide balanced weight distribution over tough, fast-changing conditions. This improves soil leveling and creates an environment for accurate seed placement and positive seed-to-soil contact.
SOIL TILTH
Soil tilth functionality breaks through crusty, sealed-over soils to achieve the proper balance of minerals, air and water. Our True-Tandem vertical tillage lineup features exclusive concave wavy blades that send soil and residue up, over and out , promoting a better seedbed finish without the excessive compaction typical of heavier disks and other vertical tillage tools. In addition, hair-pinning is reduced, resulting in improved stand establishment.
SEEDBED CONDITIONS
Properly indexed front and rear blades mounted to an 18-degree gang angle allow unmatched seedbed consistency both on the surface and sub-surface floor. Blade spacing on each gang provides a flat surface with ideal residue sizing. Uniform seedbed depth and temperature contribute to early, even plant emergence. Our patented TigerPaw Crumbler maintains steady contact with the ground and uses rifled, double-edged bars to break up clods and leave a level surface. The rolling Crumbler promotes maximum decomposition and reduced wind erosion.
