Central Kansas | Would like to update to a bigger vertical tillage machine from Great Plains. I currently have a turbo till; would a turbo max be that much better? I realize that the six degree angle would take out more small weeds and as far as I can determine that looks like the only plus to the angled turbo max.just how much better is the turbo max? Should I stay with what I have; the plain old turbo till? Thank you |

Cullom, Illinois | The turbo max has a closer blade spacing and the six degree angle makes a big difference if you are trying to level rough ground. Pulls a lot harder when they are angled. I pull a 35" with a 375 Versatile. Does a nice job. |

Modena, Wisconsin | Turbo max has closer blade spacing and is heavier. They do a nicer job in stalks and in the spring. You can angle the blades if you want and it will make the ground a little blacker than the turbo til. |

North Central Indiana | We demoed a Turbo Max on 200+ bpa corn stalks and thought it did a very nice job. Just keep in mind the dealer told us 1 HP per foot. That may be true if you are running at 0 degree gang angle, but at 6 degrees it pulls much harder. |

Manitoba | Turbo Max for sure. More options for tilling depending on the crop u are in. Way heavier machine. We pull a 40 foot with a 425 hp tractor and it can snuff it out depending how deep u wanna go. Usually can pull it 8 to 9 mph. Not as nice to pull when it is a bit too wet. It wants to plug up the rotary harrows. So far we have put 5000 acres on it and no real troubles other than a walking axle bearing. U will like it. |

| Went to a tillage demo to see it used in wheat stubble. There is a pretty big difference between having the blades at 0 deg compared to 6 deg. The Turbo-Max did a lot better job than the Landoll vertical tillage tool breaking up the ground. So we have a 30 ft turbo-max on order. Probably won't get it till some time next month though. We wanted to be able to go over soy ground just once before we plant with winter wheat. Probably going to be too late to use for next years wheat but we should still be able to use it in corn. It is supposed to do a real good job of pinning corn residue into the ground to aid in decomposition over the winter and to keep the loose leaves, etc from blowing to the edges of the field.
