Precision Tillage Redefined: Meet the Great Plains Turbo-Max®

Modern farming demands more than just muscle—it calls for precision, versatility, and a strong return on investment. Enter the Great Plains Turbo-Max®—a vertical tillage powerhouse designed to maximize soil health, manage residue, and create a perfect seedbed in a single, high-speed pass.


What is the Turbo-Max?

The Turbo-Max® is a high-speed vertical tillage tool from Great Plains, engineered for farmers who need flexibility and reliability across seasons. Unlike conventional tillage implements that can cause compaction or leave an uneven field finish, the Turbo-Max cuts residue, fractures soil, and leaves a smooth, uniform seedbed with minimal disturbance.


Whether you’re working in corn stalks in the fall or prepping soybean ground in the spring, the Turbo-Max delivers unmatched consistency and control.


Key Features & Benefits

1. Independently Mounted Turbo Blades

The patented fluted Turbo blades are spaced at 7½", slicing through tough residue and soil to improve decomposition and aeration—without creating a compaction layer.

2. Adjustable Gang Angles (0°–6°)

With simple hydraulic adjustments, you can fine-tune aggressiveness based on field conditions. Go flat in spring for minimal disturbance or angle deeper in the fall for better residue incorporation.

3. True Vertical Tillage

Unlike disks or field cultivators, the Turbo-Max maintains vertical action. This helps preserve natural soil structure, prevents hard pans, and promotes strong root development.

4. Hydraulic Reel & Finishing System

The rear-mounted reel levels the seedbed, breaks up clods, and ensures a smooth surface for planting. It's a one-pass finish you can count on.

5. High-Speed Efficiency

Designed to run at 10–12 km/h, the Turbo-Max helps you cover more hectares faster while delivering superior field performance.


Why Choose the Turbo-Max?

  • Year-Round Utility: Ideal for spring seedbed prep and fall residue management.

  • Customizable Settings: Adjust depth, gang angle, and rear finishing in seconds.

  • Residue Management Champion: Handles even the toughest corn stubble with ease.

  • Better Water Infiltration: Helps improve soil structure, reduce runoff, and support healthier root zones.

Real Results on Real Farms

Farmers across the globe rely on the Turbo-Max to meet the demands of reduced tillage, conservation practices, and yield optimization. It’s trusted by both conventional and no-till operations looking to boost productivity while protecting long-term soil health.


Final Thoughts:

If you’re looking for a vertical tillage tool that blends speed, precision, and year-round performance, the Great Plains Turbo-Max® stands out from the crowd. It's more than a machine—it's a solution for sustainable farming and better yields.
