The perfect seedbed is possible with AFS Soil Command™ tillage technology. Available on the Tiger-Mate™ 255 field cultivator, single-fold True-Tandem™ disk harrows and vertical tillage, and Ecolo-Tiger® 875 disk ripper, this technology uses reliable Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) components to help you optimize machine settings during tillage to create the ideal environment for seeds to grow.
Agronomically Optimize for a High-Efficiency SeedbedA perfect seedbed primes a field for seed-by-seed planting precision that leads to higher yields. When a tillage regimen and planter work in harmony, a high-efficiency system is created. The suite of Case IH soil management tools and 2000 series Early Riser® planter complement each other — first creating a high-efficiency seedbed and then delivering the ultimate in seed-placement accuracy. And AFS Soil Command provides the tools needed to measure and optimize the agronomic quality of seedbeds, right from the tractor cab.
Features may include:
Tillage PrescriptionsWith AFS Soil Command tillage prescription technology, you can now match variable tillage treatments to your fields’ specific conditions like never before — from zone-specific residue management and compaction removal to improving soil conservation and minimizing erosion.
Vary your practices based on changing soil types and field conditions and address soil management challenges to make every inch of the field an optimal environment with minimal erosion and moisture preservation.
The farm manager uses the easy-to-use AFS Connect™ prescription creation tool to create predetermined prescription maps to prompt automatic machine adjustments and gather tillage data and insights.
Automatic adjustments are made quickly and efficiently as your tillage tool travels across the field, varying and increasing speed as conditions allow to minimize equipment wear and tear and maximize fuel efficiency.
Seedbed SensingAFS Soil Command seedbed sensing technology is the first to enable you to measure and optimize the agronomic quality of your seedbed right from the tractor cab. This advanced technology delivers real-time feedback from the seedbed. This helps you make yield-enhancing adjustments and eliminate the presence of an uneven seedbed floor that causes planter row unit bounce.
