ROW-CROP CULTIVATORS AND ROTARY HOES
ECONOMICAL AND EFFECTIVE CHEMICAL-FREE WEED CONTROL<br />
With today’s growing concern for chemi<strong>ca</strong>l-resistant<br />
weeds and geneti<strong>ca</strong>lly modified crops, the economic<br />
and agronomic advantages of mechani<strong>ca</strong>l cultivation<br />
quickly add up. For flexible, low-cost crop <strong>ca</strong>re, look to<br />
the high-performance line of row-crop cultivators and<br />
rotary hoes from Case IH.<br />
Economi<strong>ca</strong>lly, mechani<strong>ca</strong>l cultivation offers a per-acre<br />
operating cost as low as $2.98* USD for cultivators and<br />
$1.36* for a rotary hoe. As you face increasing competition<br />
in the marke<strong>tp</strong>lace, reducing input costs is one way to<br />
maximize your profitability.<br />
In addition to providing effective, economi<strong>ca</strong>l weed kill,<br />
mechani<strong>ca</strong>l cultivation also offers a number of agronomic<br />
benefits. For example, breaking up the crust helps aerate the<br />
soil and improve water infiltration. This <strong>ca</strong>n increase yields,<br />
especially in poorly drained soils where oxygen stress <strong>ca</strong>n<br />
<strong>ca</strong>use root rot. And unlike chemi<strong>ca</strong>l control, weeds <strong>ca</strong>nnot<br />
build up resistance to mechani<strong>ca</strong>l cultivation!<br />
Case IH row-crop cultivators bring multi-purpose<br />
productivity to your fields. For example, the 2240 <strong>ca</strong>n<br />
be equipped with listing attachments to build beds and<br />
the 2220 lets you apply liquid fertilizer in the same pass.<br />
Customize your Case IH cultivator to your conditions — from<br />
conventional to no-till and everything in between. A wide<br />
range of available models with a number of options and<br />
attachments lets you tailor the unit to match your specific<br />
requirements. And faster operating speeds help you cover<br />
more acres in a day during the prime window for crop <strong>ca</strong>re.<br />

THE ADDED VALUE OF MULTI-PURPOSE TILLAGE TOOLS<br />
Perfect for a wide variety of crops and farming practices, the 1830 row-crop<br />
cultivator provides excellent weed control and cultivation in conventional and<br />
mulch-till conditions.<br />
Ideal for growers of cotton, corn and soybeans, the heavy-duty 2240 row-crop<br />
cultivator offers multi-purpose productivity from a precision tillage tool.<br />
For cost-effective control of small weeds, rely on a Case IH 181 rotary hoe.<br />
Available in conventional and mulch-till versions, the 181 rotary hoe kills<br />
young weeds and shatters crusts for improved aeration and water infiltration.<br />
At speeds above 7 mph (11 kph), large-acreage operations<br />
of corn, soybeans and sugar beets will find the 2220<br />
row-crop cultivator a productive performer in all conditions.<br />
For additional versatility, you <strong>ca</strong>n even apply fertilizer in<br />
the same pass!<br />

ALL-CROP CULTIVATING FOR CONVENTIONAL AND MULCH-TILL CONDITIONS<br />
Superior weed control and cultivation have helped<br />
make the Case IH 1830 row-crop cultivator<br />
a popular performer in conventional and mulch-till<br />
conditions. With five rigid and five hydraulic folding<br />
versions, a 4- to 16-row model is available on wide<br />
or narrow spacing. A rugged tubular steel mainframe<br />
and heavy-duty linkage gangs offer up to 40 in. (102 cm)<br />
of fore-aft clearance for easy residue flow.<br />
When choosing shank assemblies and crop shields,<br />
consider your soil type and conditions, cultivation needs,<br />
row spacing and residue levels. For excellent soil movement,<br />
effective weed control and residue management, configure<br />
the 1830 cultivator to match your particular practices and<br />
soil conditions. A three-shank configuration is best suited<br />
for 28-30 in. (71-76 cm) row spacing, while the five-shank<br />
configuration is recommended for 36-40 in. (91-101 cm)<br />
row spacing.<br />
Depending on your soil type and desired operating<br />
speeds, choose from three different shank assemblies. The<br />
Vibra Tine ® shank is an S-shaped shank designed<br />
for use in light to normal soils. It’s perfect for<br />
high-speed work in conventional seedbeds<br />
where small weeds are prevalent.<br />
The Vibra Till shank has a higher point load than<br />
the Vibra Tine. Designed for use in tough weed conditions,<br />
light rocks and medium soils, this S-shaped edge-on shank<br />
<strong>ca</strong>n be used on narrow- or wide-row configurations.<br />
Ideal for tough weeds and heavy soils, the Vibra<br />
Shank ® has a point load of 110 lbs. (49.5 kg) for<br />
aggressive action in mulch-till appli<strong>ca</strong>tions. The independent<br />
spring-loaded assembly allows the shank to move over<br />
obstructions without affecting the working depth of the row<br />
unit. This tension-type spring provides the desired vibrating<br />
action for uniform soil sifting and removal of stubborn weeds.<br />
You <strong>ca</strong>n also match crop shields to your crops and<br />
cultivating needs. Equip the 1830 with rolling shields<br />
to cultivate faster in reduced-tillage conditions. Or add<br />
open-top shields, which work well with a wide variety<br />
of crops and conditions. And tunnel shields provide<br />
extra protection at vulnerable stages for small crops such<br />
as sugar beets and vegetables.<br />
The popular 1830 row-crop<br />
cultivator is well-suited for a<br />
wide range of row crops and<br />
farming practices. Available<br />
with either three- or five-tool<br />
assemblies and your choice<br />
of shanks and shields, the<br />
proven 1830 provides<br />
excellent weed control and<br />
cultivation in conventional<br />
and mulch-till conditions.<br />

CASE IH 1830 ROW-CROP CULTIVATORS<br />
Gauge wheels offer reliable depth control, and<br />
optional down-pressure springs provide penetration<br />
in hard soils. Plus, rolling guide coulters help the<br />
1830 resist wandering off-row, especially at fast<br />
operating speeds. In addition, transport lighting<br />
packages offer improved visibility on the road.<br />
Optional attachments include a driving<br />
guide, center tooth adjusting bracket, shank stepdown<br />
mounting blocks, <strong>ca</strong>rrying wheels, and<br />
parking stands.<br />

PROFITABLE PRODUCTIVITY WITH APPLICATION FLEXIBILITY<br />
With mechani<strong>ca</strong>l weed control, productivity is the key<br />
to profitability. The new Case IH 2220 row-crop<br />
cultivator is a multi-purpose row-tillage tool for added<br />
versatility and operational flexibility. And at operating speeds<br />
of above 7 mph (11 kph), you’ll quickly cover your many<br />
acres of corn, soybeans and sugar beets.<br />
Today, row-crop cultivators <strong>ca</strong>n do much more than<br />
simply kill weeds within the row. With the 2220, you <strong>ca</strong>n<br />
cultivate and fertilize with one productive pass. Side-dress<br />
liquid fertilizer, band-apply herbicide, and spray pesticides<br />
while cultivating.<br />
Stainless steel tubes fit under each sweep blade to let you<br />
apply liquid fertilizer while cultivating. In light soil and low<br />
draft conditions, you <strong>ca</strong>n use these same tubes for anhydrous.<br />
Or add the single anhydrous knife adapter for fall, preplant<br />
or side-dress appli<strong>ca</strong>tions. The 2220’s ability for precise<br />
placement of chemi<strong>ca</strong>ls and nutrients helps minimize costs<br />
and maximize benefits.<br />
Available in eight different versions with rigid and<br />
hydraulic fold configurations from six to 24 rows of<br />
productivity, the 2220 row-crop cultivator fits row spacings<br />
for narrow-row crops on 20 or 22 in. (51 or 56 cm) on up<br />
to 40 in. (102 cm) wide rows.<br />
The compact, durable row unit of the 2220 features a<br />
wide, wrap-around parallel linkage to resist twisting forces in<br />
tough no-till conditions. This unique forward mounting design<br />
also reduces the hitch lifting requirements.<br />
Choose from an adjustable spring-trip or rigid row<br />
unit depending on your conditions. In rocky areas, the<br />
spring-trip design offers added protection plus positive sweep<br />
placement in hard soils where a traditional spring-cushioned<br />
shank may ride out of the ground. The rigid row unit is an<br />
economi<strong>ca</strong>l option in areas where rocks are not a concern.<br />
Each row unit leads with a large single front tire<br />
(6.5x16.5) for independent depth control and contour<br />
flotation. The tubeless pneumatic tire flexes easily to shed<br />
soil in sticky conditions.<br />
A center-mounted 18 in. (46 cm) solid single-disk coulter<br />
helps loosen hard no-till soils and cut residue for easier<br />
cultivation. It also provides superior tracking and acts as<br />
a stabilizer for the cultivator.<br />
Both the depth gauge wheel and center coulter <strong>ca</strong>n be<br />
adjusted independently to meet your specific cultivating needs.<br />
A simple hand crank offers quick, easy adjustments, which<br />
<strong>ca</strong>n be made conveniently from the rear of the machine.<br />
Equip the 2220 row-crop cultivator<br />
with a regular one-piece sweep or the<br />
three-piece assembly with replaceable<br />
point and blades. Choose the<br />
sweep or blade width you<br />
need for row-spacing<br />
requirements and<br />
tillage preferences.<br />
You <strong>ca</strong>n also adjust the soil-engaging angle of either<br />
assembly within a 5-position range. In harder soils, set the<br />
engagement angle to be more aggressive.<br />
Customize your 2220 cultivator with crop shields<br />
(rolling or open top) to protect young plants, a ridging wing<br />
attachment and extension for light ridging or bed building,<br />
barring off disks to pull soil away from the crop, or a rear<br />
hitch to tow an anhydrous tank.<br />

SHATTER CRUSTS AND KILL WEEDS WITH COST-EFFECTIVE CROP CARE<br />
Cost-effectively control small weeds and shatter crusts<br />
with Case IH 181 rotary hoes. Ideal for mulch-till and<br />
conventional conditions, these rotary hoes quickly rip out<br />
small weeds and shatter crusts that <strong>ca</strong>n choke out young<br />
emerging plants. Plus, the crust-busting action of the 181<br />
rotary hoe greatly improves soil aeration and moisture<br />
absorption to help maximize your yield potential.<br />
Available as a standard or mulch-till model in rigid and<br />
folding configurations, the 181 rotary hoe comes in working<br />
widths from 15 to 41 ft. (4.6 to 12.5 m) to fit your row<br />
spacing needs from 4-row wide up to 16-row narrow. The<br />
mulch-till version of the 181 rotary hoe features staggered<br />
wheels with an extra 16 in. (41 cm) of clearance between<br />
ranks to allow for easier residue flow.<br />
Large 21 in. (53 cm) diameter mulch-till hoe wheels<br />
ride on sealed ball bearings for smooth operation. Each<br />
rugged wheel boasts 16 self-sharpening teeth. This proven<br />
design ensures easy penetration and aggressive hoe action.<br />
Each hoe wheel is individually mounted on an<br />
independent, spring-loaded arm to let each hoe assembly<br />
maintain a constant penetrating depth while the wheels<br />
follow ground contours.<br />
To keep you running, self-cleaning pivot arms and<br />
wide-spaced hub mountings prevent soil and residue from<br />
building up between the wheels and arms.<br />
Massive 7x7 in. (178x178 mm) steel mainframes form<br />
a solid backbone for the wide working widths of the four<br />
larger models. Sturdy 5x7 in. (127x178 mm) tool bars<br />
support the smaller models.<br />
Rotary hoes are a simple, cost-effective way to uproot small weeds and shatter<br />
crusts that <strong>ca</strong>n choke out young crops. Aggressive action of the tine-tooth wheels<br />
kills weeds, breaks up crusts, improves aeration and aids in moisture absorption.<br />
