CROP RESIDUE MANAGEMENT
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
The new Case IH Ecolo-Tiger 870 disk ripper is designed to address the tough residue common with today's Bt hybrids.
Bt Residue Tools
With the adoption of Bt hybrids, you need aggressive disk components capable of cutting and mixing the tougher stalks. The Case IH Ecolo-Tiger® 870 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
Case IH Ecolo-Tiger disk rippers feature Earth Metal blades.
