Tillage | 2230LL Level-Lift™ Field Cultivator

Features

Autonomy ready tillage

Autonomous 8R 410 and 2660VT in the field

Technology should be simple to maximize full potential, autonomy shouldn’t be different. With autonomous farming solutions on the horizon, many customers are wondering what they should do to ensure the tillage equipment they are purchasing today will be READY to operate autonomously.

Autonomy Ready includes known and available integrated components, allowing customers to save time and money when adding the fully autonomous tillage solution hardware. The components included from the factory are:

Implement lights
Receiver mast
Implement receiver harness

Please reference the chart below for model availability.

Model	Autonomy Ready Tillage (in-base)	Applicable Machine Widths
2430	X	All widths, except 14 ft, 0 in. to 17 ft, 8 in models
CC Series	X	All widths
HSD Series	X	All widths
2660VT	X	25 ft, 5 in. to 49 ft, 6 in. models
2230	X	Up to 64 ft

Universal StarFire™ 7500 receiver will need to be purchased separately for autonomous tillage operation.

As John Deere continues to develop the fully autonomous solution, additional requirements will be required. For the most up to date information on autonomy and additional key enablers, please visit the John Deere Autonomous Tillage Launch Center or John Deere Autonomy homepage. For more information on Autonomy Ready Large Tractors, please visit the Large Tractor Sales Manual.

Wide range of working widths available to match acreage and horsepower requirements

Five-section configuration

At 16-km/h (10-mph) working speeds, the 2230LL can cover up to 29.5 hectares (73 acres) per hour enabling producers to size their implement for their unique productivity and agronomic needs.

The 2230LL is available in sizes ranging from 7.8 m to 18.4 m (25 ft, 6 in. to 60 ft, 6 in.). Horsepower requirements range from 19.6 to 29.4 kW/m (8 to 12 hp-ft), depending on the soil, depth, and speed.

Level-lift™ frame ensures even operation through all operating depths

2230LL Field Cultivator

The Level-lift hitch ensures a level operation through all operating depths. It also provides consistent gang and sweep depth fore to aft for thorough seedbed preparation. This quick, easy adjustment ensures a flat seedbed floor and level soil profile for planting.

The combination of the sweep and harrow functions promotes consistent and uniform chemical placement and mixing. The T-hitch enables easy turnbuckle adjustment for fast tractor changeover and quick implement leveling fore to aft.

The heavy-duty T-hitch allows for tighter turning, decreasing the number of headlands required for quick turns on the end. The T-hitch also houses the hoses and wiring harness, protecting them from crop and incidental tire contact.

True 152-mm (6-in.) split-the-middle spacing provides complete field coverage

TruPosition™ standards on 2230 Field Cultivator

152-mm (6-in.) split-the-middle shank spacing

Thanks to an updated frame design that enables true 152-mm (6-in.) split-the-middle shank spacing, the 2230 Field Cultivators can maintain consistent depth and evenly cover the field to achieve an optimal seedbed and manage weeds.

Seedbed preparation

Even at high speeds and in tough field conditions, the TruPosition C-shanks with 91 kg (200 lb) of trip force minimize side-to-side movement and provide the operator better control of the soil profile for improved leveling capabilities.

These shanks provide a full tillage cut across the entire width of the implement. The shanks stay firmly planted in tough soils without quickly relieving. As a result, the soil is mixed completely and streaks are reduced. This helps producers maximize their productivity and create flat seedbeds for smooth planter operation and consistent seed depth.

Weed management

The even 152-mm (6-in.) split-the-middle shank spacing enables the 2230 Field Cultivator to minimize the potential of remaining strips of weeds that survive the tillage pass. With a field cultivator pass just prior to planting/seeding, the crop can emerge into a weed-free field that gives it the best chance to reach canopy ahead of the weeds.

If some weeds emerge and a post-emergence herbicide is needed, weeds should be smaller and easier to control. As a result, the field cultivator pass helps keep weed management costs under control and helps preserve crop yield potential.

ProFinish™ Leveling System offers wide range of rear harrows to meet agronomic needs

The ProFinish Leveling System offers a wide range of rear harrows to meet agronomic needs.

Depending on agronomic needs, producers have a choice of six rear harrow options included in the ProFinish Leveling System on the 2230 Field Cultivators.

Wing stabilizer wheels ensure steady and consistent operation

Active-hydraulic castering wheel on 2230FH

Mechanical stabilizer wheel on 2230LL

Wing stabilizer wheels are recommended when producers encounter rolling ground conditions, terraces, or when the tool is operated at speeds above 11 km/h (7 mph).

Stabilizer wheel options and quantities are dependent on the model.

On the 2230LL Level-lift™ Field Cultivator, two mechanical wing stabilizer wheels are included on the outer wings for all five-section configurations. Both three-section and five-section configurations have the option to add stabilizer wheels to the inner wings.

On the 2230FH Floating Hitch Field Cultivator, the 12.95-m (42-ft, 6-in.) low-transport configuration has the option of adding a pair of mechanical stabilizer wheels. The active-hydraulic castering wheels are included in base equipment for the inner and outer wings on the 2230FH.

Radial and bias-ply tire options are available for mechanical stabilizer wheels and active-hydraulic castering wheels.

NOTE: Not all tire options are available for all configurations.

Rear hitch compatible with all 2230 configurations and rear harrows

Rear hitch

A substantial rear hitch is available to give the 2230 the versatility to pull other rear attachments. The rear hitch includes:

Rectangular tube construction
Telescoping hitch
Serviceable drawbar
453-kg (1000-lb) tongue weight rating
13,000 gross vehicle weight (GVW) rating for five-section machines; 10,000 gross vehicle weight (GVW) rating for three-section machines
Wiring harness for transport lights
Hydraulic hoses and couplers
Higher load safety chain between tractor and implement

The rear hitch is fully compatible with all 2230 rear harrow configurations available in the ProFinish™ Leveling System.

Heavy-Duty Rear Hitch

For customers with a seedbed finisher or rear attachment exceeding the above standard hitch ratings, it is recommended to install the heavy-duty rear hitch support. A heavy-duty rear hitch support is used in conjunction with the standard rear hitch and is compatible only with five-section 2230FH and 2230LL field cultivators.

Low-transport configurations available for 2230LL

2230LL in transport

Low-transport configuration

Low power lines and bridges can be a concern when transporting equipment. The 2230 Field Cultivator lineup includes low-transport configurations as a solution for transportation concerns.

The 2230LL has two low-transport configurations. These implements fold like a five-section implement but operate like a three-section implement for improved transportability thanks to the addition of small outer wings that lock rigid for field operation.

Another advantage of the low-transport models is operation over uneven terrain. The low-transport models allow for the rigid wing to follow the contour of the ground.
