2027 Case IH Vibra-Tine 265 S-Tine Field Cultivator 

2027 Case IH Vibra-Tine 265 S-Tine Field Cultivator

Productive and agronomically designed field cultivator equipped with vibrating S-tine technology effectively works high-clay and timber soils, creating a better seedbed.

S-Tine Design

Vibra-Tine 265 S-tines are strong enough to handle tough clay soils in first-pass tillage and agronomically designed to help create an ideal seedbed. Stay productive through a variety of conditions, from the hardest clay soil to the lightest sandy loam.

S-Tine Advantages

Proven Technology

• Vibrating technology enables S-tines to break through heavy soil to create a better seedbed
• Six ranks of S-tines with effective 4-inch spacing provides optimal clod sizing and allow for maximum residue flow
• Large dimensions of the S-tine coils ensure powerful forward, backward and sideways motion of the tine

Built to Last

• Built with high-quality alloy steel to ensure longevity and perform in a variety of soils
• Shot-peened to remove any potential fatigue cracks from the shaping process, increasing wear life
• Convex spring steel shank provides added strength

Shank Options to Fit Your Fields

• Choose the S-tine shank option that meets your needs:

• Standard one-piece coil (110 lb.) provides optimal vibration and holding force in most soil conditions
• Heavy-duty two-piece coil (160 lb.) provides the highest holding power in the industry and additional ground clearance 

• Work soils from a shallow 0.5 inch (1.27 cm) up to 4 inches (10.16 cm) to deliver your ideal field finish

Frame Construction

Our customers needed a productive S-tine design that would stand up to their unique soils and tough conditions. The Vibra-Tine 265 S-tine field cultivator is built rugged to deliver reliable performance pass after pass, season after season.

• Proven tube-through design with 4-inch square tubing walls are high-strength for an open, yet durable frame

• High 24-inch (60.96 cm) frame clearance allows for maximum residue flow and minimizes plugging

• Built with durable components to extend wear life and reduce maintenance, including:
• Welded cylinders
• Greaseless bushings in all rockshaft pivots
• Heavy-duty bearings on Crumbler® rollers

Select the Best Finishing Tool for Your Soil Type

Select the finishing tool option that best fits your soil type and farming practices. Our harrow options with Advanced Conditioning System (ACS) are designed to maximize seed-to-soil contact while providing optimal leveling and clod sizing. Choose from:

• 2-Bar Spike ACS Harrow with Dual Flat-Bar Crumbler®(shown): Paired with the independent-arm, dual flat-bar Crumbler, this option is designed to help effectively break up clods and level the soil for a smooth finish, matching the contour of the ground for ultimate seedbed leveling

• 3-Bar Spike ACS Harrow with Single Flat-Bar Crumbler®: Paired with the flat-bar spiral Advanced Conditioning System (ACS), this option with three bars is ideal for tough soils that require additional leveling. The flat-bar ACS harrow adds clod-busing power with excellent durability

Rethink Seedbed Productivity

The Tiger-Mate 255 technology is designed to maximize yield potential in one spring pass. field cultivator creates a high-efficiency seedbed for the most accurate seed placement. From crop residue management to soil tilth to seedbed conditions, we designed this field cultivator with an eye on improving agronomic performance.

For high-clay and timber fields, the Vibra-Tine 265 S-tine field cultivator helps achieve optimal clod-sizing, a smooth field finish and healthier soil. Proven and effective S-tine technology is designed to maximize yield potential in one spring pass.
