The new Tiger-Mate 255 field cultivator from Case IH helps growers achieve productivity goals by creating the perfect seedbed in the spring. With every pass, the Tiger-Mate 255 delivers a smooth surface and even subfloor. When paired with a Case IH Early Riser planter, it helps growers achieve maximum yield potential by combining a high-performance seedbed with the ultimate in seed placement accuracy.

With the focus on speed and efficiency in planting, growers need a superior field cultivator to fully realize the potential of their planters.

Case IH has set the standard for seedbed preparation. The next-generation Tiger-Mate 255 builds on that legacy with a redesigned shank assembly, tool-free leveling and adjustment, and a stronger frame for increased travel speed. Now capable of speeds up to 10 mph, the Tiger-Mate 255 helps growers be more productive without sacrificing seedbed quality.

Designed with Case IH Agronomic Design principles, the Tiger-Mate 255 effectively handles crop residue, breaks up soil clods and puts the finishing touches on the seedbed for optimal seed-to-soil contact, strong root development and uniform emergence.

Advanced Cultivator Features
The Tiger-Mate 255 features and capabilities include:

• Strong yet flexible shank. A strong new shank assembly handles the challenges of higher field speeds with 20 percent more grip than previous models. It balances strength and flexibility to keep the Earth Metal® sweep parallel to the ground for a consistently smooth surface and even subsurface, regardless of field conditions or speed. From stronger compression springs to larger pivot bolts and hardened pivot bushings, the 11/16" thick shank is built to withstand the rigors of high speeds and rapidly changing field conditions.
• Center-Sweep Pattern. Tiger-Mate's proven sweep pattern combined with 6.5" shank spacing provides 100 percent sweep coverage. This provides maximum soil mixing and improved residue flow even at higher speeds.
• High-Concave Shank. Shanks break up hard clods and provide more consistent residue movement and optimal mixing.
• Single-Point Depth Control. New single-point hydraulic control allows for quick and easy depth adjustment to adapt to varying field conditions.
• Floating Hitch. This additional feature allows the Tiger-Mate 255 to operate independently of the tractor. The tool precisely follows the contour of the soil for better depth stability on uneven terrain.
• Durable tires. Industry-exclusive, long-lasting radial tires have a larger footprint to reduce compaction and improve buoyancy and durability

• Multiple harrow options. Choose an option to achieve your desired soil quality, including the new Advanced Conditioning System (ACS) harrow with 3-sided tines and TigerPaw™ Crumbler® reel.
• Strong, Durable Construction The Tiger-Mate 255’s welded bridge frame is strong enough to handle increased field speeds. However, it can flex through hard, rocky ground, helping to extend the life of the equipment.

The Tiger-Mate 255 is available in sizes from 22’2” to 35’2” and double-fold configurations from 37’5” to 60’1”. durability and performance that Tiger-Mate field cultivators are known for.
