Case IH introduced its new Nutri-Tiller 955 strip-till applicator.

The machinery comes equipped with an all-new shank assembly to help farmers create consistent and precise rows, even as conditions across the fields change.

The High-clearance Shank for Strip Till helps ensure the knife and shank stay aligned for uniform operating depth, precise nutrient placement and pass-to-pass accuracy.

At its core, the Nutri-Tiller is designed to help producers get the benefits of two tillage worlds.

“The Nutri-Tiller 955 delivers the agronomic advantages of conventional tillage, along with the economic and conservation benefits of no-till,” Dave Long, Case IH seeding equipment and fertilizer applicators marketing manager, said in a release. “It’s a one-pass seedbed management tool that helps producers efficiently manage time, resources and inputs.”

Other features include a new row cleaner capable of moving high levels of crop residue between the rows without gouging or riding on top of residue. Two down-pressure spring settings allow producers to match aggressiveness to field conditions.

The Berm Build’r helps create a uniform, properly shaped and sized berm. Concave 18-inch notched sealing disks include holes on the disk face to help reduce soil buildup.

The Nutri-Tiller comes in working widths from 20 to 60 feet (8, 12, 16 and 24 rows). The 30 and 40-foot models can flex in three sections, while the 60-foot model flexes in five sections for safe transport.
