NTX5310 STRIP-TILL SYSTEM
THE CASE IH NTX5310 STRIP-TILL SYSTEM
STRIP-TILL MAKES SENSE
The proven performance of DMI Strip-till is now a proud
addition to the Case IH product line. The Case IH
NTX5310 Strip-till System has a unique design that tackles
your agronomic objectives while keeping soil conservation
in mind. The final result is a better return on your
investment.
Strip-till combines the best parts of conventional tillage
within the field conditions of No-till. Many growers find it
difficult to achieve desirable results with No-till corn but
are motivated by the idea of lessening the environmental
impact of tillage. Strip-till is the solution. Strip-till allows
farmers to take advantage of early planting dates and
2
higher yields while experiencing the residue control and
water-use efficiency of traditional No-till.
Strip-till uses residue to help reduce erosion and retain
moisture between the rows, positively influencing plant
growth and yield. It provides a uniform seed bed and
better seed-to-soil contact for more consistent emergence.
Strip-till also allows for faster dry-down and warm-up for
earlier planting.
The NTX5310 manages your crop residue, improves soil
tilth, bands plant food in the root zone and enhances your
seed bed conditions, all while meeting the requirements of
conservation tillage. The Case IH NTX5310 accomplishes
all of the agronomic requirements that are critical for
Strip-till success!
NO-TILL FARMERS CAN HAVE THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
The first time No-till farmers encounter cold and wet soil
conditions at planting time can be enough to make them
give up on No-till altogether. Seeing their plants
experience slower germination and sluggish growth can
cause a quick switch back to more conventional tillage.
But, there is a solution. The NTX5310 Strip-till System
helps solve the problem of cold, wet springs. And it still
provides the erosion control and water-use efficiency of
traditional No-till.
IMPROVES SOIL TILTH
Both air and water need to be in the soil for germination to
take place and root growth to occur. When the NTX5310
breaks up compacted soil, this allows air and water to
move freely through the soil, and root growth and yields
are increased. The NTX5310 provides the surface residue
cover of No-till with the benefits of tillage in the row.
MANAGES CROP RESIDUE
Strip-till protects soil tilth by absorbing the compaction
force of rain, which reduces erosion. The Case IH
NTX5310 uses residue to help retain moisture between the
rows. It also helps improve the soil environment, positively
influencing plant growth and yield in both wet and dry soil
conditions.
ENHANCES SEED BED CONDITIONS
Strip-till encourages plants to start growing fast. And when
plants start growing fast, they are able to maximize their
profit potential during stressful weather conditions. The
NTX5310 optimizes seed bed conditions, allowing air to
infiltrate for quick soil warm-up, optimal seed-to-soil contact, fast and uniform germination and early plant growth.

AN ALTERNATIVE TO PURE NO-TILL THAT PAYS DIVIDENDS
REAP THE BENEFITS OF THE ULTIMATE STRIP-TILL SYSTEM
RESPONSIBLE RESIDUE MANAGEMENT
The NTX5310 Strip-till System is the ultimate choice for
strip-tillage and precision fertilizer placement while
keeping your agronomic and economic objectives the
top priority. The NTX5310 uses the large coulters for
operation in extra-heavy residue, eliminating plugging
and bunching. These, 24 in. diameter coulters cut
the residue, smooth residue flow and prevent residue
from mixing into the seed bed.
FIRST-CLASS FERTILIZER PLACEMENT
The Strip-till knife places dry, liquid and/or NH3
fertilizer in the root zone. The shank and knife design
ensures a more uniform tillage depth and consistent
nutrient placement, ensuring that fertilizer will be
available to your plants throughout the growing season.
CONTROLLING COMPACTION,
CREATING GOOD SOIL TILTH
Soil tilth determines the level of root and plant growth
the soil will support. Correcting soil compaction is the
first step toward getting better root growth and yield
out of your plants. The exclusive, High Clearance
Shank (HCS)™ provides a holding force of 1,150
pounds, strong enough to hold in the most
difficult soil conditions and keep the fertilizer band
at the proper depth.
AVOID THE TRENCHES
The optional berm condition’r basket sizes clods
while reducing holes in the berm for better seed-to-soil
contact and improved germination and emergence.
SHAPE UP YOUR SEED BED
The berm build’r™ attachment has blades properly
positioned to retain soil off the knife and provide the
optimum berm height and shape. And with the pivot at
the toolbar mount instead of the shank, the berm build’r
stays in position even when the shank trips. The large,
18 in. diameter blades provide ideal down force to minimize the mixing of residue into the berm or grooves
along the side of the berm. The result is a more uniform
seed bed.
EXTRA CLEAN-UP
The optional Case IH row cleaner
reduces the residue on the berm by
up to 90%.
MARK THE WAY
Index your rows for planting with cut-out blades that
are easy to see.

GET MORE R.O.I. FOR EVERY FERTILIZER DOLLAR
INJECT THE ROOT ZONE WITH THE POWER OF PROFIT
Maximize your nutrient uptake, minimize runoff and
increase the return on your fertilizer investment. The
proven root zone banding legacy of DMI is now a
proud addition to the Case IH product line. Case IH
Fertilizer Placement Equipment places nutrients deep in
the root zone where they are more readily available to
plants during the growing season.
This illustration shows the benefits of deep-placing
fertilizer in firm, moist soil. Plant roots are naturally
drawn deep to the moisture in the soil, and Case IH
Fertilizer Placement Equipment places the valuable
nutrients essential for plant growth precisely where
these roots grow.

INCREASE PLANT FOOD AVAILABILITY
It is important to remember that the amount of food
available to plants does not depend on the amount of
nutrients present in the soil, but the amount that the
roots are able to take up for plant use. Increasing this
availability is an important step in managing the soil
environment for creating higher yields. So, even if a soil
test indicates a large quantity of nutrients present, the
growth success of the plant is dependent on good soil
tilth and the ability of the root system to take up the
nutrients. The Case IH NTX5310 bands the nutrients in
the soil, improving efficiency and fertilizer utilization,
and reducing runoff and water contamination.
SPECIFICATIONS
An investment that quickly pays for itself.
Let’s say you purchase an NTX5310 for $36,000. Test
results have shown that the Strip-till advantage over No-till
yields to be $23.20/acre. If you have 1,000 acres x
$23.20/acre, you may make $23,200* more than No-till,
a 64% return on your investment the first year alone! And
after 5-years, the total cash benefit is $80,000!
And, when nutrient uptake is maximized by the plant, your
fertilizer utilization is maximized as well. The NTX5310
Strip-till System is a smart business investment quick to pay
for itself.
