For nearly 40 years, stronger, sharper, longer-wearing Case IH Earth Metal ground-engaging components, from disk blades to sweeps, have helped our entire lineup of tillage equipment perform better and more efficiently with less downtime. Here are a few examples of how Earth Metal delivers value to your operation:

• Maintenance avoidance — longer wear life means less-frequent replacement
• Hard and durable without brittleness to stand up to the toughest conditions
• Sharp, forged cutting-edge maintains its edge throughout its life span

As you put the finishing touches on your fields this spring, consider how Earth Metal sweeps can help you consistently achieve a high-efficiency seedbed. Case IH Maxxi-Width^™, Maxxi-Point^™, Maxxi-Grip^™ and Maxxi-Point Plus sweeps feature our constant width design. That means, unlike competitive sweeps, our sweeps maintain their original cutting width throughout the life of the sweep. So, you can achieve the agronomic advantages of the Case IH Tiger-Mate^® 255 field cultivator and its exclusive split-the-middle sweep pattern pass after pass — not only while the sweeps are new.

Earth Metal cultivator sweeps from Case IH are stronger, sharper, longer-lasting and maintain their width as they wear to increase the productivity of each acre tilled and set the stage for higher yield environment.

Case IH Earth Metal sweeps are available with configurations and features to suit your individual fields and the way you like to farm:

Maxxi-Point Sweep
