MAXIMIZE PROFIT WITH LOWER<br />
COSTS AND HIGHER YIELDS!<br />
SOIL TILTH – IDENTIFYING NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF SOIL COMPACTION<br />
You <strong>ca</strong>n depend on Case IH <strong>till</strong>age tools to deliver<br />
superior performance for maximum <strong>yield</strong> potential while<br />
making the most of every pass. Built with this criteria in<br />
mind, the Case IH 2500 Rip-Bed maximizes profit by<br />
combining the <strong>yield</strong>-increasing benefits of Crop Residue<br />
Management, Soil Tilth, Plant Food Availability and<br />
Seed Bed Conditions, along with the productivity gains<br />
of accomplishing all that… in a single-pass operation.<br />
Poor root development <strong>ca</strong>n be <strong>ca</strong>used by<br />
compacted soil with limited or poorly distributed pore<br />
space (air and water). Proper pore size and distribution<br />
is criti<strong>ca</strong>l for air and water exchange, which improves<br />
potential water infiltration and utilization – essential for<br />
healthy plant development.<br />
By shattering the compaction layer and reorienting<br />
the soil aggregates with its patented tiger ® point<br />
technology, the 2500 Rip-Bed creates a healthier<br />
soil profile than competitive machines. This improved<br />
soil profile allows roots to explore a greater volume of<br />
soil and obtain more nutrients, especially during the<br />
most criti<strong>ca</strong>l times of the production cycle. The chart<br />
below shows the soil fracture advantage of the<br />
2500 Rip-Bed over a competitive machine.<br />
CROP RESIDUE MANAGEMENT<br />
Effectively managing post-harvest residue through<br />
sizing, placement and incorporation creates an<br />
environment that will encourage proper seed placement<br />
and improve the performance of the <strong>till</strong>age tool.<br />
By running coulters inline, ahead of the shank, the<br />
Case IH 2500 Rip-Bed sizes and positions residue<br />
around the shank, preventing shank wrap and bed<br />
blow-out. With the help of the deep <strong>till</strong>age shanks and<br />
points, it also prevents re-growth by dislo<strong>ca</strong>ting cotton<br />
tap and lateral roots and root crowns. Finally, the<br />
double-discs or Lister Points bury the sized residue to<br />
aid in residue decomposition and insect control.<br />
The 2500 Rip-Bed: Heavy-duty coulters work to<br />
manage crop residue. No-<strong>till</strong> or tiger points<br />
improve soil tilth. Double-Disc or Lister Point<br />
bed-build’rs produce ideal seed bed conditions.<br />
