3.0TM
- Shear zone reducing vertical tillage tool that prefers 10-15 km/hr operating speed.
- Used as a primary tillage tool in the autumn after the combine to allow the field to weather over winter.
- Used to reduce corn borer infestation in autumn passes by chopping maize or straw residue and mixing it into the tilled soil surface.
- Used as a spring time last pass finishing tool prior to seeding spring crop to help warm up damp cool soils for quick emergence.
- Used to create a smooth, finished, surface and sub surface for smooth planting without putting back yield reducing layers or shear zones.
- Used to chit wheat and oilseed rape volunteers or weeds such as black grass.
- In No-Till conditions, straw and residue bind nitrogen delaying it from becoming accessible to the crop. This “carbon penalty” is a big reason for yield reductions in direct seeding environments. The Turbo-Max sizes residue and laces it to the ground to hasten decay while mechanically maintaining a uniform soil profile.
- Proven around the world in multiple crops and climate conditions.
- Now available with 3m transport.
Features
-
HYDRAULIC WEIGHT TRANSFER
Transfer valve adjusts weight from center to wings, providing even, constant down pressure to the full width.
-
19 CM BLADE SPACING
Two gangs – each with 7 1/2″ (19 cm) spacing between coulters – with the rear gang offset from the front gang. The gangs work together to size residue to an industry-leading 3 3/4″ (9.5 cm).
-
TRUE VERTICAL TILLAGE MACHINE
Provides truly vertical cutting without the shearing caused by a concave blade. With 20″ (508mm) Turbo Coulters spaced 7 1/2″ (191mm) apart, front and rear gangs are offset for an effective residue cutting width of 3 3/4″ (95mm).
-
SUPERB CONTOUR FOLLOWING
The wings of the frame can flex down as much as 10° and up as high as you need it to go. Coupled with the constant hydraulic down pressure applied to the wings, this feature allows the Turbo-Max to precisely follow undulating ground conditions from side to side. Weight per blade of down pressure is between 251 and 291 pounds (114 and 132 kg).
-
SAFE, STABLE 3-METER TRANSPORT
The new Turbo-Max folds down to 9.8′ (3 meters) wide and 13.1′ (4 meters) high for transport.
-
ROLLING SPIKE AND REEL REAR ATTACHMENT
Rolling spike harrow tines split Turbo Coulters to ensure thorough mixing of soil and residue and provide a smooth, uniform seedbed for optimum planter performance. The rear reel leaves the surface planter-ready by firming soil, removing air pockets, and eliminating clods.

EXCLUSIVE MAINTENANCE-FREE BEARINGS
Reduce maintenance time and extend life of bearings. These 360° self-aligning bearings are never sideloaded. A six-lip seal on each side locks in grease and prevents contamination. Additionally, the walking beam pivots utilize Teflon™-coated bushings, eliminating the need for tapered bearings and grease in pivot points.
