• The Rear Hitch accommodates additional towed conditioning system, while minimizing passes in seedbed preparation. 

Choose electronic or hydraulic hookups to match harrow options and towing needs.

Wheels & Tires

Stability and Durability in All Conditions

Case IH field cultivators are built to reduce compaction and remain level and stable in all field conditions

Radial Tires

• Durable and stubble-resistant
• Up to a 70 percent increase in footprint over bias ply tires – improves flotation and reduces compaction

Wheels

• Walking tandems and gauge wheels on the main frame and wings provide a smooth ride and reduce compaction, wing bounce and nosing.
• Radial Stabilizer wheels on every wing section provide additional stability and levelness over obstacles
• Optional pivoting stabilizer wheel on wing sections for contour farming

Seedbed Preparation

Prepare Your Fields With the Utmost Efficiency

• Ideal seedbed preparation sets the tone for planting season success — from row unit ride to planter speed. To maximize planting efficiency and help your crops reach their full potential, pair your Tiger-Mate 255 field cultivator or Vibra-Tine 265 S-tine field cultivator with the Case IH 2000 series Early Riser® planter. Our planters deliver the ultimate in seed placement accuracy to produce a more successful crop.

Vibra-Tine 265 S-Tine

Proven Technology

• The Vibra-Tine 265 S-Tine Field Cultivator effectively works high-clay and timber soils, creating a better seedbed. Vibrating technology enables S-tines to break through heavy soil to create a better seedbed. Six ranks of S-tines, with effective 4-inch spacing, provide optimal clod sizing and allow for maximum residue flow. The large S-tine coils ensure powerful forward, backward and sideways motion.
