2021 Great Plains Turbo-Chisel® TCN5313

2021 Great Plains Turbo-Chisel® TCN5313

Turbo-Chisel slices and incorporates residue in the top 8-12" of soil while leaving the surface level enough for a single-pass tool in the spring.

In the fall, vertical tillage eliminates the soil’s density layers, leaving it ready for a one-pass tool before spring planting. Turbo-Chisel is engineered to size and incorporate residue into the top 4-5" of soil, while leaving the surface level enough for a single-pass tool in the spring.

Turbo-Chisel starts by slicing residue with exclusive 22" Great Plains Turbo Coulters on 7½" spacing. Blades run on a 1¾" gang bolt with cast spools, putting the weight “in the gang” for outstanding performance and reliability. Gang bearings are field-proven, PEER® Maintenance-Free 211 Bearings with cast housings mounted to heavy-duty 1" x 3" C-shank standards. Plus, Turbo-Chisel’s coulter depth is hydraulically adjustable for on-the-go depth control.

This machine is offered in rigid 7-15 shank models or folding 9-23 shank models, with a recommended horsepower requirement of 30 hp per shank.

Features may include:

Order the Turbo-Chisel the way you want it with two different shank combinations: standard chisel (left) or heavy-duty parabolic toggle-trip shanks (right). Parabolic toggle-trip shanks perform up to 12-inches deep, while the maximum depth of the chisel shanks is 9 inches.

When equipped with heavy-duty toggle-trip shanks, this unit works in the 8" to 12" range (rather than the 13" to 15" range required by disk rippers) while horizontally fracturing soil much better than a disk chisel. Toggle-trip shanks can’t float. They either run at the set depth or trip – there is no inbetween. The Heavy-Duty Toggle Trip Shank has a 2,450-pound horizontal trip force and will automatically reset when tripped.

Independently control coulter depth from the cab. This allows the operator to make adjustments to the depth based on field conditions.

Adjust the depth across the entire width of the machine in one convenient place.

On 7½" spacing, the 22" Turbo blades enter the soil vertically and leave horizontally, causing a mulching action of both soil and residue while maximizing lateral fracture. Competitive concave-disc tools simply cut off and roll long stringy stalks.

These 360° self-aligning bearings are never sideloaded. A six-lip seal on each side locks in grease and prevents contamination, which reduces maintenance time and extends the life of the bearings.

Maintain consistent mainframe height for accurate, consistent tillage depth control.
