2027 Case IH Ecolo-Tiger 875

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

Ecolo-Tiger Highlights

Ecolo-Tiger Evolution

The Ecolo-Tiger® 875 represents the 8th generation of Ecolo-Tigers, a tradition which began in 1978. With the development of the 875 model, Case IH experts invested five years of intense agronomic research in five states, analyzing five million data points, all with an eye to clearly understanding the field factors likely to impact yield. The Case IH team learned that by better managing residue, soil fracture and most importantly the size of holes and clods left behind, yield potential could be significantly improved. Large holes can collect water, and in combination with large clods they increase the variability in the field, making accurate seed placement at planting impossible. Based on the research findings, as many as 3,000 plants per acre, or 7 to 10 percent of the total stand could be lost to poor seedbed conditions.

Adapt in Adverse Conditions

One outcome of this research, the Case IH patented double-edge reel, sizes any remaining large clods and levels the soil more to eliminate lost yield potential. In the new Ecolo-Tiger 875, the double-edge reel has a hydraulic option, allowing producers to position the reel from the cab. This best-in-class option allows operators to float over wet spots in the field by raising the basket. It provides level output over varying soil types for improved seed beds and resists plugging in wet conditions. Other rear options include a mechanical-positioned double-edge reel; a 5-bar spike; harrow; and a 3-bar coil-tine harrow.

Durability Built-in

Like its predecessor, the Ecolo-Tiger 875 efficiently sizes and mixes tough, heavy residue, while leveling the soil for a smooth seedbed. Case IH engineers equipped this new model with redesigned high density Tiger Points for improved durability while maintaining the lift, twist and roll action that is an Ecolo-Tiger and Tiger point hallmark. This action not only fractures compaction, but also works to relocate soil particles for superior soil tilth. In addition, Earth Metal® blades are now standard equipment on both gang and individual disk blade models.

An aquant powder coat paint finish adds even more durability to the Ecolo-Tiger 875 with 400 percent more resistance to impact, scratching and paint fading vs. prior models. This paint finish is the result of Case IH’s expansion of its Goodfield, Ill., plant, which allowed for the addition of a multistage auto deposition primer dip paint system with a powder topcoat. Customers benefit from an even more rugged red paint finish that looks better rolling off the factory line, lasts throughout the life of the disk ripper and improves resale value.

Optimize Your Seedbed

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 seedbed conditioning. Take your operation one step further with Soil Command™.

Features May Include:

Residue Management

Reduce Erosion and Increase Production Capacity

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.

With the adoption of Bt hybrids, you need aggressive disk components capable of cutting and mixing the tougher stalks and the Case IH Ecolo-Tiger® 875 tackles residue with:

• 24-in. (610-mm) individual disks or optional 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

Blades

Earth Metal® Blades

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 enhances the hardness without affecting ductility for a longer wearing blade while providing breakage resistance
• A flat center that matches perfectly with each nodular cast iron spool to produce the strongest possible joints
• A crimped center to provide added strength in high-stress areas of the disk blade

Soil Tilth

Achieve Ideal 50/50 Soil Composition

• 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. Case IH Disk Rippers effectively fracture compaction and promote optimal soil tilth.

Seedbed Conditioning

Maximize Yield Potential

• Case IH disk rippers give you the flexibility to finish the field to match your farming practices. Create a first-pass soil surface that settles level prior to secondary tillage and planting.
• With two seedbed conditioning options, the Double-Edge Tigerpaw™ Crumbler® and the Disk Leveler attachment, our disk rippers help maximize each plant’s yield potential.

Soil Command™

Optimize Every Pass with Soil Command™

• In any condition, Soil Command™ tillage technology adds site-specific precision to soil management so you can maximize environmental, economic and agronomic performance
• Tillage Prescriptions: Prescription technology takes the same variable rate approach you use for seed and fertilizer rates with site-specific tillage and zone management. Match tillage treatments to the specific conditions of your fields, running deeper in areas with more compaction and working soil less aggressively in other areas.
• Coordinated Control: Precisely coordinate every component of your disk ripper to optimize all machine settings as field conditions change. As shank depth is adjusted, Soil Command agronomic control technology optimizes fore/aft levelness, Crumbler® pressure, disk gang depth, leveler depth and stabilizer wheel position.
• Efficient Soil Management: Control exactly how and where a field is treated and prepared and cover more acres with the ability to vary and increase speed as conditions allow.
