Case IH Ecolo-Tiger

Precision Soil Engineering: Inside the Ecolo-Tiger

The Case IH Ecolo-Tiger is engineered not merely to stir the soil, but to actively manage the soil profile. Its primary function is to eliminate compaction layers, specifically the plow pan, while preparing a seedbed in a single pass, which is vital for maintaining productivity within tight agricultural windows.

Key Mechanical Advantages

• Front Disk System: The 24-inch front disks feature an aggressive attack angle designed for high-residue environments. They perform the critical task of sizing and incorporating residue into the top layer, accelerating the decomposition process and preventing soil erosion.
• Tiger-Point Shank Design: The geometry of the shanks is optimized for maximum vertical lift with minimal draft force. The secret lies in the point design, which creates a radial fracturing effect in the compacted layer, rather than simply creating a narrow slit. This improves soil porosity, allowing moisture to reach deep into the subsoil.
• Leveling Disks: The adjustable rear disks are essential for ensuring a smooth finish. By effectively filling in the furrows left by the shanks, they eliminate ridges, which improves field uniformity and reduces fuel consumption for subsequent secondary tillage operations.

The practical value of this design lies in its ability to handle intensive field conditions. With working depths of up to 40 cm, the Ecolo-Tiger ensures that the soil structure is restored, allowing for deeper root penetration and superior nutrient uptake. The operator-friendly adjustment system allows for quick calibration based on varying soil moisture and density, making the Ecolo-Tiger a versatile machine capable of handling both heavy clays and high-residue fields with equal efficiency.
