Case IH True-Tandem 335 Barracuda

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. Available for model year 2025, Case IH Soil Command tillage technology is available to make precise, on-the-go adjustments from the comfort of your cab on the 25-to-34-foot models. New 22” reverse crimp notched blades provide better soil penetration at shallow gang angles and perform exceptionally at higher speeds. An optional Double TigerPaw® Crumbler ensures a more consistent seedbed for improved seed-to-soil contact.

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. And with Case IH Soil Command tillage technology, all adjustments can be made on-the-go, from the cab, to allow for fast and efficient adjustments as field conditions change.

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, or automatically adjusted from the cab when equipped with Case IH Soil Command tillage technology.

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.

The optional Double TigerPaw Crumbler, available as an option on all vertical tillage models, offers additional clod sizing and a more level surface finish for increased planter ride quality and improved seed-to-soil contact.

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

Case IH Soil Command™ tillage technology delivers site-specific precision to soil management. A simple user interface with in-cab, single-touch controls help reduce time lost to physical tillage adjustments, while customizable presets deliver consistent tillage results, regardless of operator. When using Soil Command, step up your tillage game even further with FieldOps™ to create user-defined prescription tillage to accommodate your unique fields and manage as-applied tillage data.

Spring or Fall, match 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. Soil Command tillage technology can automate adjustments from the comfort of the cab. Features include:

• 6 to 10 mph ground speeds
• Mechanical gang angle adjustment or hydraulically adjustable gang angles that can also be controlled from the cab with Case IH Soil Command tillage technology
• Mechanical fore/aft leveling or hydraulically adjustable fore/aft leveling that can be controlled with Case IH Soil Command tillage technology
• Shallow-concavity fluted blades cut residue at shallow gang angles
• Greaseless bushings
• Hydraulically adjusted wing down pressure, on the 20-ft and 23-ft models, and on larger models controlled using Soil Command tillage technology
• Available with Earth Metal, 20-in VT Wave Blade or 22-inch Reverse Crimp Notched Blade. 

The Case IH vertical tillage lineup provides options to fit your field. Choose from the True-Tandem 335VT with a choice of VT Wave blades for creating a smooth finish, the 335 Barracuda with serrated blades for aggressive residue and soil management.

Both models are available with optional Case IH Soil Command tillage technology that brings in-cab, single touch controls to quickly make tillage adjustments to match field conditions.
