2023 Case IH Ecolo-Tiger® 875 9-Shank

Tackle your primary tillage needs with a Case IH disk ripper — built for durability in tough conditions and flexibility to match your needs.

The Case IH Family of Disk Rippers are engineered to provide the perfect seedbed for your operation. Our disk rippers optimize residue management, soil tilth and seebed conditioning. Take your operation one step further with AFS Soil Command™.

The most aggressive disk ripper on the market with aggressive disk-cutting power, high underframe clearance, and minimum 36-inch spacing between points.

Features may include:

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 and decrease erosion through improved porosity and drainage.

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:

• 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

The Ecolo-Tiger 875 is fitted with Earth Metal® blades, which feature:

• A 24-in. (610-mm) or 26-in. 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

Ideal soil tilth is equal parts soil and pore space, with water and air equally distributed within the pore space. Over time, soil becomes compacted and robs the soil of this needed pore space, reducing yield. It can be caused by many things, including: numerous passes of heavy equipment; planting early in wet soil; the effect of heavy rains; repetitive conventional/traditional tillage at the same depth; varying soil textures throughout a field and lack of crop rotation. Case IH Disk Rippers fight soil compaction and promote optimal soil tilth.

Proper primary tillage using a Case IH disk ripper effectively fractures compaction to:

• Increase soil tilth

• Allow vigorous root development

• Promote better stands and higher-yielding plants

• Warm soils faster and more evenly for earlier spring planting

• Increase water absorption and infiltration

• Reduce ponding

Patented Case IH Tiger® points, featured on all Case IH disk rippers, have wings that extend downward, rearward and outward. This revolutionary design creates a “lift, twist and roll” action that:

• Shatters compaction

• Relocates soil particles

• Creates an open, mellow, healthier soil with excellent pore space and distribution

• Moves fertilizer to the root growing area

• Allows for maximum soil tilth
