2022 Kubota Turbo-Max® 1800TM

Exciting updates make the industry-leading Turbo-Max even better! New standard features and controls allow you to adjust and monitor your Turbo-Max from the comfort of your tractor cab. True vertical tillage has become the go-to method for yield-boosting seedbed preparation. Turbo-Max is the industry leader in vertical tillage tools, especially for min-tillers who want to size and anchor residue without aggressively working the ground in the fall. It vertically cuts residue and fractures the soil to create a smooth seedbed for uniform seed emergence. Because Turbo-Max is a true vertical tillage implement, it does not create compaction layers, giving roots the freedom to reach nutrients and moisture. The industry-leading Turbo-Max now offers even greater agronomic benefits and operator convenience! The innovative Implement Command® System from Great Plains allows producers to control, adjust, and monitor their Turbo-Max from the comfort of their tractor cab. Implement Command is available on new 18'-48' Turbo-Max models.

Features may include:

• The hydraulic reel allows you to conveniently adjust down pressure or lift out of the ground with in-cab hydraulic operation. An easy-to-read pressure gauge allows for easy down-pressure monitoring from the tractor seat! This design maintains travel regardless of the selected down pressure. A hydraulic cylinder is used to preload down-pressure springs. When field conditions are not ideal, the reel can be raised completely out of the ground. The hydraulic reel is now standard on 18' and wider models.

• Hydraulic fore/aft leveling allows the operator to easily adjust and level the implement from the cab without any wrenches or tools needed. This feature is now standard on models 18' and wider.

• Gangs angle on the Turbo-Max from 0° to 6°. In the fall, angle the gangs from 3° to 6° to size and cover residue, then set the gangs at 0° in the spring to prepare the ultimate seedbed. Larger models (12' and wider) are equipped with hydraulic cylinders to make gang angle changes on the go. The smaller models are manually adjustable. Heavy, ductile cast spools keep the weight in the gangs, ensuring reliability of the C-shanks and bearings.

• With 20" Turbo coulters spaced 7½" apart, Turbo-Max provides true vertical cutting without the shearing caused by concave blades. Offset front and rear gangs achieve an effective residue cutting width of 3¾" when running at 0°.

• The hydraulic weight transfer creates an even, constant downforce across the entire width of the implement to ensure uniform penetration and eliminate the possibility for the wings to float.

• Rolling spike harrow tines split Turbo coulters to ensure thorough mixing of soil and residue, resulting in a smooth, uniform seedbed for optimum planter performance.

• Turbo-Max features two gangs — each with 7½" spacing between coulters — with the rear gang offset from the front gang. The gangs work together to size residue to an industry-leading 3¾".

• New 7-lip TillXtreme™ seals on each side of the gang bearings lock in grease and prevent contamination. Additionally, the walking beam pivots utilize coated bushings, eliminating the need for tapered bearings and grease in pivot points. Drop axles pivot on anti-rotational pins, requiring no maintenance.
