Case IH VT-Flex 435 Vertical Tillage Tool

The VT-Flex™ 435 vertical tillage tool helps producers manage their residue effectively with easy, on-the-go gang angle adjustments – whether using conservation or conventional tillage practices. Now in 2023, you’ll be able to choose from more size options — including a 30’ and 34’ option — that make sizing and cutting residue, preserving soils and mixing residue for each season even more productive.

Our industry-leading vertical tillage technology enhances operator control, reduces maintenance and extends component life.

The True-Tandem 335 VT and Barracuda models' symmetrical frame design provides uniform pulling pressures with improved balance and stability. The stabilizer and gauge wheels are bolted directly to the frame. The hitch is designed for tractor compatibility and a rear hitch is available for pull-type operations.

Engage soil to your intended depth, without disrupting soil density below the seedbed. Easily adjust operating depth and levelness.

Stronger than ordinary carbon steel blades, our industry-exclusive Earth Metal blades cover rocky terrain and uneven ground with confidence – even at high speeds.

• Crimped center disk blades provide a tighter fit with cast iron nodular spools and add strength to the center of the blade.
• Perfect for no-till and minimum-till environments, these blades penetrate hard soils to break through surface compaction.
   

The 18-degree gang angle, paired with each blade’s concavity and crimped center, results in even cutting and mixing action for a superior finish.

Front gang blades and rear gang blades are precisely indexed to one another, providing an even surface finish and a more even sub-surface floor than any other vertical tillage tool and high-speed disk.

The VT-Flex™ 435 model's gang angle can be mechanically or hydraulically adjusted from 0- to 12 degrees.

The patented TigerPaw™ Crumbler® produces more uniform clod sizing and residue distribution in order to reach seedbed perfection. Made of high-strength steel, the twisted design limits excessive penetration into the soil. The Crumbler’s unique architecture ensures each bar is rifled to maintain constant down pressure, while hydraulic cylinders provide easy adjustability and settings to match any field condition.

Optional 3-bar Coil Tine Harrow is also available for rice producing areas where high quantities of heavy, thick residue are common.

In any condition, Case IH AFS Soil Command™ tillage technology adds site-specific precision to soil management. Now you can maximize environmental, economic and agronomic performance with total implement control, as-tilled mapping and the ability to create and execute soil management prescriptions.

Spring or Fall, match your soil management needs with the VT-Flex™ 435 vertical tillage tool. Effective field preparation is made easy with fast, on-the-go gang angle adjustments – from 0 to 12 degrees – to match your desired field finish. Features include:

• 6 to 9 mph ground speeds
• Mechanical or hydraulically adjustable gang angles
• Mechanical or hydraulically adjustable fore/aft leveling
• Shallow-concavity fluted blades cut residue at shallow gang angles
• Greaseless bushings
