Hitch
Hitch Options for Every Job
A variety of hitch options allow you to get the most out of your Case IH field cultivator:
- The Floating Hitch allows the Tiger-Mate 255 to operate independently of the tractor, while enhancing the ground following for consistent depth across terrain.
- The T-Bone Hitch provides a tighter turn radius.
- The Rear Hitch accommodates additional towed conditioning system, while minimizing passes in seedbed preparation.
Choose electronic or hydraulic hookups to match harrow options and towing needs.
Wheels & Tires
Stability and Durability in All Conditions
Radial Tires
- Durable and stubble-resistant
- Up to a 70 percent increase in footprint over bias ply tires – improves flotation and reduces compaction
- Walking tandems and gauge wheels on the main frame and wings provide a smooth ride and reduce compaction, wing bounce and nosing.
- Radial Stabilizer wheels on every wing section provide additional stability and levelness over obstacles
- Optional pivoting stabilizer wheel on wing sections for contour farming

Prepare Your Fields With the Utmost Efficiency
Vibra-Tine 265 S-Tine
Proven Technology
The Vibra-Tine 265 S-Tine Field Cultivator effectively works high-clay and timber soils, creating a better seedbed. Vibrating technology enables S-tines to break through heavy soil to create a better seedbed. Six ranks of S-tines, with effective 4-inch spacing, provide optimal clod sizing and allow for maximum residue flow. The large S-tine coils ensure powerful forward, backward and sideways motion.
