Seed Bed
Preparation: Field Cultivators
Build the
perfect seed bed with a Case IH tiger-mate® II and
crumbler®—the
team that delivers an outstanding return on your
investment.
The Case IH tiger-mate II field cultivator and
crumbler create a firm, level seed bed with
better seed-to-soil contact for faster germination and
uniform crop emergence. Let the Case IH tiger-mate II
and crumbler work for you in the spring, to create
greater surface soil tilth with proper pore and soil
aggregate size and distribution within the seed zone.
Proper seed bed preparation helps warm the soil,
allowing it to dry-down quicker, for earlier planting
and a longer growing season.
Combine four passes into one—the Case
IH tiger-mate II and crumbler cultivate, incorporate,
level and firm to maximize your crop’s yield potential,
lower your input costs and put more money in your
pocket!
The tiger-mate II can be equipped with a number
of Advanced Leveling System (ALS) or Advanced
Conditioning System (ACS) harrows—with or
without the crumbler—to properly
distribute residue, size clods and firm the seed zone to
prepare the most effective seed bed for your crops.
Simply match the desired field finish with your soil
environment and farming practice, and then select the
Advanced Conditioning System that is best for your
fields.
The ACS Round
was specifically designed for fields that need moderate
clod sizing and seed bed firming, while the ACS Flat was
designed for aggressive clod sizing without the firming
action of the ACS Round. Tests reveal that the ACS Round
in clay loam soils (with inadequate precipitation
shortly after planting) added approximately
three bushels per acre over a typical three-bar coil
tine harrow.
Tests
also reveal that the ACS Flat
in clay loam soils (with timely precipitation shortly
after planting) added approximately five bushels per
acre over a typical three-bar coil tine harrow. (Test
results based on 2000 research data.)
