Tillage system improves seed bed while preserving soil
The Case IH 2500 Rip-Strip and DMI ecolo-strip'r 2500 provide a combination of deep tillage and no-till while addressing common no-till problems such as slow seed germination due to cool, wet seed beds or poor seed-tosoil contact. This one-pass operation combines a four-step system of components: a coulter to manage residue, a low disturbance shank and patented point to improve soil tilth, soil gathering disc blades to elevate the bed, and a soil conditioning system to reduce clods and provide a uniform seed bed. This system allows farmers to economically achieve an optimum soil environment while complying with residue retention guidelines set forth by the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
