Agricultural tillage shank replacement
$90.00
A tillage shank is the structural backbone of a field cultivator, chisel plow, or ripper, responsible for transferring tractor power to the soil and withstanding immense shock loads. As the critical interface between the implement frame and the ground-engaging tool, the shank’s design, material, and condition directly influence tillage depth, residue flow, fuel efficiency, and overall equipment longevity.
Shanks are available in several specialized configurations to match specific tillage goals:
-
C-Shanks: The industry standard for field cultivators and row-crop cultivators, typically fabricated from 0.5″ to 0.88″ thick stock, 1.75″ to 2″ wide, with 20″ to 27″ of vertical clearance. These rigid shanks are designed for heavy, deep tillage and can be equipped with a wide variety of sweeps and points.
-
S-Tines (Coil-Tine Shanks): A spring-loaded design that vibrates to reduce plugging and power requirements, making them ideal for lighter secondary tillage and high-residue conditions. These are the preferred choice for finishing tools.
-
Chisel Plow Shanks: A heavy-duty C-shank variant built from more rigid stock, typically 1.25″ by 2″, designed for deep compaction fracturing without soil inversion.
-
Shank Assemblies: For a complete rebuild, you can find complete assemblies that include the shank, a point, and often a mounting bracket or bushing kit.
Manufactured from high-strength alloy steel using advanced processes like investment casting and heat treatment, premium shanks offer superior wear resistance and the flexibility to withstand impact from rocks without snapping.
Shanks are available as direct OEM replacements for all major tillage brands, including John Deere, Case IH, New Holland, AGCO, Landoll, Krause, and Kuhn, as well as high-quality aftermarket alternatives. Whether you are rebuilding a worn cultivator, converting a rigid C-shank system to flexible S-tines, or replacing a broken component, a quality tillage shank is the most critical investment for a productive, trouble-free season.
