Case IH True-Tandem™ 335 Barracuda

Overview

True-Tandem™ 335 Barracuda
This vertical tillage tool effectively sizes and evenly incorporates even the most stubborn crop residue to leave behind a blacker surface finish you won’t find anywhere else.

Features

Agronomic Design™: Cut, Size And Bury More Residue

Slice through tough residue, uproot root balls and level out the soil to create the best possible seedbed for your next growing season. Our vertical tillage lineup is built on proven Agronomic Design™ principles with industry-exclusive blades, so you can more effectively manage soil and residue. This patented system moves material up, over and out to stratify soil particles and increase aeration for improved soil tilth and seedbed conditioning.

Crop Residue Management

• Control residue size and distribution to promote faster breakdown and nutrient cycling
• Ultimate vertical tillage lineup to manage residue from a multitude of crops
• The TigerPaw™ Crumbler® puts the final touches on the seedbed
• Precise depth adjustment allows for greater control over soil residue cover at planting to fit a wide range of soil types, topographies and management objectives

 

Soil Tilth

• Break through crusty, sealed-over soils to achieve the proper balance of minerals, air and water
• The concave, wavy blade design sends soil and residue up, over and out
• Promote a better seedbed finish without the excessive compaction typical of heavier disks
• Helps reduce residue hair pinning, resulting in better seed to soil contact and stand establishment

 

Seedbed Conditioning

• Put the finishing touches on fields by sizing clods and increasing the soil’s contact with residue for maximum decomposition
• Provide a uniform seedbed depth and temperature, contributing to early, even plant emergence

 

Durable True-Tandem Frame
Improve balance and stability in the field with the True-Tandem frame design. The combination of mirror-matched gangs and a rugged, low-maintenance pull-through frame eliminate drift and accommodate higher ground speeds compared with the traditional double-offset frame. LED lights and a high-quality powder coat paint finish keep you in the field longer and your equipment looking good for years to come.

Mainframe & Wings

• Provides exceptional center of gravity and balance
• Designed with gusset plates to maximize strength and stress distribution
• Delivers more uniform weight per blade
• Increased length over competitive equipment improves overall balance and fore and aft leveling
• Overlapping weld design and welded cylinders improved durability while reducing maintenance and the chance of leaking

Greaseless Bearings

• Featured on wing pivots, rockshafts and the TigerPaw Crumbler
• Reduces routine maintenance, keeping you in the field longer

Durable Design Attributes

• LED lights are brighter and longer lasting than incandescent lamps
• The Class 3 powder coat paint finish retains color longer and is more scratch resistant

Level the Growing Field

Work the soil you want to work. The True-Tandem vertical tillage lineup engages soil to your intended depth without disrupting soil density below the operating depth. It’s a system that’s proven to provide more consistency, even as soil types change across the field. And thanks to an intuitive depth adjustment system, you can easily adjust depth control and leveling to meet the needs of your conditions and fields.

Single-Point Hydraulic Depth Control

• Easily adjusts operating depth with a single hand crank conveniently located at the front of the machine
• Helps adjust to adverse conditions, such as wet, muddy soil
• The system holds a constant blade operating depth to provide a uniform seedbed depth temperature, contributing to early, even plant emergence

Fore & Aft Leveling

• View the gauge from the cab to easily return to your pre-adjusted position

 

Keep Your Edge With Earth Metal® Blades

Our industry-exclusive Early Metal blades help you cover rocky terrain and uneven ground in confidence — even at high speeds. Equally tough and breakage resistant in all directions, Earth Metal blades are proven 30 percent stronger than ordinary carbon steel blades. Perfect for no-till and minimum-till environments, these blades penetrate hard, dry soils to help you break through surface compaction with ease.

VT Wave Blade

• True-Tandem 335 VT features 20 inches Earth Metal Wave blades
• Blades provide excellent residue cutting and the flattest planting surface in the Case IH tillage lineup
• Each blade runs on its edge, causing soil to explode off the blade and level without back pressure. This results in reduced compaction compared with conventional blades
• Case IH Robo-Sharpener™ is specifically designed to recondition and sharpen unique Earth Metal VT Wave blades

Barracuda Blade

• True-Tandem 335 Barracuda features 22-in. Earth Metal serrated blades
• Blades provide additional tillage depth — up to 4-in. deep in one pass — to help move more soil and residue
• Chisel-tip blade serrations provide longer sharpness. As the chisel-tipped teeth wear, the valley between each tip stays sharp, becoming the cutting edge and extending the blade’s lifetime
• Capable of running 6-9 miles per hour for optimal performance and greater productivity

Crimped Center Disk Blades

• Blades feature a unique, flat, crimped center for a tighter fit with the cast iron nodular spools
• Adds strength where it counts — in the center of the blade
