Case IH Farm Ecolo-Tiger 527B Disk Ripper
Disk Rippers Ecolo-Tiger 527B Disk Ripper

Features
We Have Residue Management Down to a Perfection
Case IH disk rippers help you cut, size and mix crop residue to reduce erosion and increase production capacity. This effective crop residue management allows you to:
- Increase organic-matter content in the soil
- Provide a soil/residue mixture that allows moisture to penetrate the subsoil faster
- Decrease erosion through improved porosity and drainage
BT Residue Tool
With the adoption of Bt hybrids, you need aggressive disk components capable of cutting and mixing the tougher stalks. The Case IH Ecolo-Tiger® 875 tackles Bt residue with:
- 24-in. (610-mm) individual disks or optional, huge, 26-in. (660-mm) cushion gang® disks
- 12-in. (304-mm) spacing between gang disks
- A split-the-middle gang position front to back
- Reduces stalk size for improved flow and better mixing
Earth Metal Blades
The Ecolo-Tiger® 530C, 730C and 875 are fitted with Earth Metal® blades, which feature:
- Shallow concavity
- A crimped center
- A 24-in. (610-mm) diameter
- Patented index position relative to the shanks
Conser-Till Unique Features
The Case IH Conser-Till® 690 mulch-till ripper manages crop residue with the industry’s shallowest-concavity disk blades in the front of the machine. This unique design offers:
- Superior soil penetration
- Excellent residue cutting and flow without throwing soil beyond the machine
- Erosion-stopping residue stays on top of the soil
The 12-in. (304-mm) spacing and 6-in. (152-mm)-diameter, slim-center cast spools allow for consistent output in the heaviest residue and soil conditions.
50/50 Is Our Idea of Ideal Soil Composition
Ideal soil composition — known as soil tilth — is 50 percent soil and 50 percent pore space, with water and air equally distributed within the pore space. Soil compaction eliminates this needed pore space and is a common yield-robbing culprit. It can be caused by:
- Numerous passes of heavy equipment
- Planting early in wet soil
- The hydraulic effect of heavy rains
- Repetitive conventional/traditional tillage at the same depth
- Varying soil textures throughout a field
- Lack of crop rotation
Controlling Compaction
Proper primary tillage using a Case IH disk ripper effectively fractures compaction to:
- Increase soil tilth
- Allow vigorous root development
- Promote better stands and higher-yielding plants
- Warm soils faster and more evenly for earlier spring planting
- Increase water absorption
- Reduce ponding
Patented Tiger Points
Patented Case IH Tiger® points, featured on all Case IH disk rippers, have wings that extend downward, rearward and outward.
This revolutionary design creates a “lift, twist and roll” action that:
- Shatters compaction
- Relocates soil particles
- Creates an open, mellow, healthier soil with excellent pore space and distribution
- Allows for maximum soil tilth
Optional Lead Shanks
The Case IH Ecolo-Tiger® 530C and 730C disk rippers can be fitted with optional lead shanks to prefracture the soil ahead of the main ripping shanks. The addition of this option:
- Enhances tillage
- Reduces clod size
