Field Cultivators Tiger-Mate 255 Field Cultivator
Overview:
Look to the Tiger-Mate 255 for the durability and Agronomic Design™ features you need to create a high-efficiency seedbed for more efficient planting and maximum yield.
Features
Rethink Seedbed Productivity
The Tiger-Mate 255 field cultivator creates a high-efficiency seedbed for the most accurate seed placement. From crop residue management to soil tilth to seedbed conditions, we designed this field cultivator with an eye on improving your agronomic performance.
FRAME DESIGN
Rugged and Reliable From End to end
Our engineers tested and analyzed every component of the Tiger-Mate 255 frame against rigid standards. The result: Stronger construction, yet with the greater flexibility necessary to stand up to tough, fast-changing conditions
FRAME CONSTRUCTION
Higher Productivity
- Greaseless bearings displace 20-40 grease points, depending on model
- Time saved by greaseless bearings equates to up to 40 acres of productivity
Increased Efficiency
- Wings fold together quickly, getting you in and out of the field faster
- 25-inch underframe clearance keeps the residue flowing at higher speed
Versatility
- Exclusive, welding bridge frame stands up to variable conditions under higher field speeds
- Frame designed to flex through difficult soil conditions
Built-in Longevity
- Durable construction and welded cylinders results in greater reliability
- Folding wings distribute load for longer frame life
WHEELS & TIRES
Durability
- Radial stubble-resistant tires are standard on the Tiger-Mate 255
- Extra durability pays off in the field and during transport
Increased Footprint
- Radial tires have up to a 70 percent increase in footprint, over bias ply tires
- Improves floatation and reduces compaction
A Smooth Ride
- Walking tandems and gauge wheels on the main frame and wings
- Enhances stability and reduces compaction, wing bounce and nosing
Extra Stabilty
- Radial Stabilizer wheels on every wing section provide additional stability and levelness over obstacles
- Optional pivoting stabilizer wheel on wing sections for contour farming
HITCH
Floating Hitch
- Allows the Tiger-Mate 255 to operate independently of the tractor
- Enhances ground following for consistent depth across terrain
- Available on double-fold models
T-Bone Hitch
- Provides a tighter turn radius
- Standard on all models
Rear Hitch
- Accomodates additional towed conditioning system
- Minimizes passes in seedbed preparation
- Available on all models
Choose Your Hookup
Choose electronic or hydraulic hookups to match harrow options and towing needs.
LEVELING & DEPTH CONTROL
Fine-Tune Your Unit For Any Field
Quick and Easy Depth Control
Adjust depth across a variety of fields and conditions with a single-point hydraulic depth control system. There is no need to manually adjust depth on each wing as the system maintains equal depth across.
No-Tool Machine Leveling
Achieve fast and easy machine leveling, both side-to-side and fore-to-aft with turnbuckle adjustments. Requiring no tools, just use the built-in handle cranks for effortless adjustments.
