What do you think of the Great Plains Turbo Max? It allows you to angle the gangs up to 6 degrees from the cab allowing you to take out weeds and pin residue down. Have you seen these? I really like you can change the gang angle from the cab so you can easily adjust as you go from field to field. The question I have though is it enough of a difference to purchase one of these yield wise and is it that different then running a standard disc shallow with a rolling basket on the back? I understand the principle of vertical tillage but I am questioning whether the coulters vs the disc blades ran at a shallow depth have much of a difference?
Comment by Michael Lewis on April 15, 2012 at 8:19am I was pretty impressed with it. You could tell it was more aggressive as at 8MPH dirt would fly laterally. We used it on 260 acres and the only thing we didn't like was it created a little ridge in the middle. Hardly noticeable but it was there. Maybe something we could have done to adjust it and would probably take the time to figure out if we bought it. There was some weeds and it did take them out. I liked the soil razor blades also. Only thing I didn't like was purchase price...just too expensive for what they are. It was a 25' and we could have pulled more.
Comment by ROD TANGEMAN (Tangeman Farms) on April 14, 2012 at 9:44pm just watched your viedo what did you think of the earth master verti go, do it move the soil pretty good also did you have it in any weeds of any sort and does it take those out? We have a great plain does a good jobe of leveling but not much of anything for weeds
