Great Plains VT1500

Choice of Auto-Reset or Shear Bolt Shank Mounts

With 3,000 lb. trip force, the Auto-Reset Shanks provide stop-free operation in areas where sub-surface obstructions exist. Alternatively, the Shear Bolt Mounts provide obstruction protection at a lower purchase cost than the Auto-Reset Shanks. New for 2022! 2,000 lb. high-protection trip pack auto-reset shanks enhance performance and reduce shear bolt breakage in rocky conditions.

Choose Shank Style

Choose a 1¼" straight-legged shank or a 3/4" no-till shank. The no-till shank is not as aggressive as the straight-legged shank in turning the soil over and covering residue, so it should be used where less ground disturbance is desired. Replaceable wear shins are standard for either shank option.

Choose Point Style

The 1¼" straight-legged shank is available with points in 2" or 7" widths. These can be ordered with or without fins (fins minimize blowout). The ¾" no-till shank is only available with a 10" no-till point that minimizes surface disturbance and residue burial while maximizing soil-structure-shatter below. New for 2022! Points and shins are now manufactured from a new chrome alloy that substantially extends the wear life of the points and reduces potential breakage of the shins. Plus, a new 4" no-till point is available for no-till shanks set on 24" spacing. These smaller points allow the machine to operate at shallower depths (10"-12") with less horsepower while still achieving maximum soil fracture.

20" Heavy-Duty Utility Coulters

Large 20" utility coulters cut residue directly in front of the shanks. This allows it to pass by without catching the shanks.

ADJUSTABLE GAUGE WHEEL

A screw jack makes adjusting the gauge wheels simple and easy.

Shank Spacing Options

Multiple shank spacings allow the Sub-Soiler to be tailored to your specific soil needs.

Optional Inline Hitch

Economical tongue and hydraulic gauge wheel kit turns a 7-shank sub-soiler into a pull-type unit.

Optional Berm Conditioners

Designed to firm the soil after the density layers are reset by the shanks.

Optional Sub-Soiler Hitch

Turn any sub-soiler into a pull-type unit, as well other 3-point implements.
