Subsoil Strip Till Tine Body Plow Shank

1. Product Overview

Engineered for the most demanding deep tillage and subsoiling applications, our Subsoil Strip Till Tine Body Plow Shank is the ultimate solution for effective soil fracturing. Precision-cast from premium 52CrMnMoV high-strength alloy steel, this plow shank combines exceptional wear resistance with the structural flexibility needed to survive heavy impact in rocky subsoils.

Featuring a patented 22° tapered design and an 18mm reinforced spine, it is proven to reduce draft force by 25% compared to conventional points. This allows machinery to operate more efficiently, fracturing hardpan soil up to 450mm deep while leaving the topsoil surface undisturbed.

3. Key Features & Advantages

• Superior Soil Penetration: The patented 22° tapered geometry allows for smooth entry into compacted soils, slicing through hardpan while minimizing drag and fuel consumption.
• Exceptional Durability: The combination of 52CrMnMoV steel and rigorous thermal treatment results in a highly abrasive-resistant shank that extends operational lifespans significantly.
• Rock-Strike Resilience: With a 10% elongation rating, the shank flexes just enough to absorb the shock of unexpected rock strikes without snapping or deforming.
• Zero Surface Disturbance: Optimized for strip-till farming, the slim profile fractures the subsoil precisely without churning or turning over the surface layer, preserving moisture and crop residue.

4. Advanced Manufacturing Process

Our plow shanks are produced under strict IATF 16949 quality management standards, utilizing a multi-step precision manufacturing process:

1. Investment Casting: Ensures a highly precise foundational shape with a dimensional accuracy of ±0.2mm.
2. CNC Machining: Critical mounting bores and cutting edges are CNC-machined to achieve exact bore alignment (±0.05mm) and razor-sharp edge finishes (Ra 2.0μm).
3. Full Thermal Treatment Cycle: Components undergo normalizing (900-920°C), annealing, oil quenching (850°C), and tempering (540-600°C) to lock in the HRC 36-40 hardness.
4. Surface Preparation: MIL-SPEC shot blasting (SAE J444) guarantees excellent coating adhesion for the final finish.
5. Rigorous QC Testing: Every batch is subjected to 200% overload testing, ultrasonic flaw detection, and CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) dimensional verification.

5. Applications & Compatibility

• This shank is perfectly suited for agricultural operations focused on deep ripping, subsoiling, and strip-till farming.
• Direct Replacement for: John Deere 2510H and Case IH 3300 series subsoilers.
• Soil Types: Highly effective in compacted clay, loamy soils, and abrasive, rocky subsoil environments.

6. Accessory Information & Upgrades

1. Optional Tungsten Carbide Overlay: For extreme abrasive conditions, a 3mm tungsten carbide overlay can be applied to the leading edges during manufacturing to exponentially extend service life.
2. Replaceable Carbide Tip: The shank base is designed to accept a replaceable carbide tip (sold separately), allowing for cost-effective maintenance without replacing the entire tine body.

7. Purchasing Guide: What to Know Before Buying

• Verify Compatibility: Ensure your subsoiler toolbar matches the mounting hole configurations of John Deere 2510H or Case IH 3300 standards. (Custom mounting configurations are available for bulk OEM orders).
• Assess Your Soil: If your land is heavily laden with sharp rocks or high-silica sand, we highly recommend selecting the optional 3mm Tungsten Carbide overlay to maximize ROI.
• Finish Selection: Choose the black baking varnish for enhanced rust resistance during long-term storage or sea freight transport, or the standard cast finish for immediate, budget-conscious deployment.

8. Common Industry & Buyer FAQs

Q1: Why use 52CrMnMoV steel instead of standard boron steel?
A1: 52CrMnMoV is a premium alloy that incorporates Chromium, Manganese, Molybdenum, and Vanadium. This specific blend offers vastly superior wear resistance and toughness compared to standard boron steel, allowing it to hold a sharp edge longer while resisting brittle fractures during rock strikes.

Q2: Are the replaceable carbide tips included with the shank?
A2: No, the replaceable carbide tips are sold separately. This allows you to purchase only the shank if you already have a stock of tips, or to select different tip styles based on your specific tilling needs.

Q3: Can you manufacture custom sizes or accommodate OEM designs?
A3: Yes. As a direct manufacturer with in-house CNC and investment casting capabilities, we welcome OEM/ODM orders. We can adjust the spine thickness, taper angle, and mounting bore dimensions based on your CAD drawings.

Q4: How does the 22° taper reduce draft force?
A4: The 22° angle creates a specialized lifting action that shatters the soil upward along its natural fault lines, rather than bulldozing it forward. This aerodynamic-like soil flow reduces the pulling burden on your tractor by up to 25%.
