TURBOTILLT Models 2200TT and 3000TT enhances vertical tillage
The TURBOTILL is a new vertical tillage tool that gets its name from two ranks of patented TURBO coulters. Vertical tillage can reduce or eliminate variations in soil density associated with normal horizontal tillage practices. Slanted flutes enter the soil perpendicular to the ground for maximum cutting performance and exit parallel to the soil surface for controlled soil release. The TURBOTILL can be used for residue management in the fall or in the spring to expose soil, enhance seedbed warming, dry out soggy fields, or penetrate hard soil for easier planting. The machine sports other unique features including automatic self-leveling and dual-function hydraulic cylinders that fold the machine for narrow transport and also provide constant across-the-frame weight transfer in working position. Several finishing attachments are available to match any soil or crop residue condition. Three-section folding models are available in 56- or 76- centimeter (22- or 30-foot) working widths.
