TS9100 TURBO-SEEDER™ FOR COVER CROPS (OPTIONAL)

Combine the benefits of cover crop application and soil management with the Turbo-Seeder from Great Plains! Turbo-Seeder offers a cost-effective, highly productive method for broadcast seeding cover crops with a vertical or hybrid tillage tool. With Turbo-Seeder, you can simultaneously till your soil, size residue, and plant cover crops in one pass.

A TRUE VERTICAL TILLAGE MACHINE

With Turbo blades spaced 7½" apart, the VT1100 Turbo-Max provides true vertical cutting without the shearing caused by concave blades. Offset front and rear gangs achieve an effective residue cutting width of 3¾" when running at 0°.

CHOICE OF TURBO BLADES

The VT1100 is available with a choice of two Turbo blade options. Original 20" blades work best in soil that is harder and drier, with a medium-to-heavy texture. They are also the better option in rockier terrain. New 22" Turbo blades were added for soils with a lighter texture, where working deeper is desired.

HYDRAULICALLY-ADJUSTABLE GANG ANGLE

One of the most unique features of the original Turbo-Max was its ability to angle the gangs from 0° to 6°. This popular feature is also key to the new VT1100 Turbo-Max. All models are equipped with hydraulic cylinders to make gang angle changes on-the-go. Heavy, ductile cast spools keep weight in the gangs, ensuring reliability of the C-shanks and bearings.

NEW FRAME DESIGN

The VT1100 Turbo-Max frame has been redesigned to support new finishing attachment options. The updated frame also accommodates heavier transport axles and tires.

OPTIONAL SINGLE OR DOUBLE BASKETS

Customize your VT1100 with a choice of finishing attachments. Finishing reels are designed to reduce clods as they smooth the soil’s surface. New double finishing reels are engineered for soil that is heavier with a higher moisture content. Both reels flex and maintain even down pressure as they roll through the field. The single basket attachment is well suited for drier, lighter soil conditions. Both options are available with a choice of flat or round bars. Flat bars are more aggressive for breaking up clods, particularly in clay soils; round bars are the preferred option for lighter soils or rocky conditions.

ROLLING SPIKE HARROWS OR NEW CHOPPER REELS

Rolling spike harrows run between the Turbo blades and the finishing basket to ensure a thorough mixing of soil and residue, resulting in a smooth, uniform seedbed. The new chopper reels were added for tough residue conditions, such as fields of fall corn stalks or potato vines where wrapping and plugging of residue is a problem.
