Looks to me like a standard disc ????? I have used my 14 foot disc for years as a VT tool.....works great ..just adjust the gangs straight and go up to 15 miles per hour !
Great videos on all things Versatile. I've loved the company since I was a kid. Now own a 1969 Versatile D145 that I'm restoring that's been repowered with a Cummins 5.9 12valve. Approximately 200hp. When you're around Dayton Ohio, stop by and see it! Now, how do I get a job with Versatile?
69druth how to use it for knocking down corn trash to rotate into soybeans I never saw any major increases and yields or differences plus it was just a unnecessary trip spending more fuel when I could still get threw it with my case 875 and my Krause dominator
Mike Less some old family friends not far from me use excellerators for it and man I must say they do beautiful work in that south central Indiana White River bottom ground. Too bad they'll have to redo most everything because of flooding. Obviously that happens in river bottoms but I have never in my short (almost 19) years seen it that bad. At the very least we're talking replanting but I won't be surprised if they re-apply anhydrous and possibly even another VT run
It would be nice to pitch it in varing soil conditions which means going to hydralics which means more money but an hour to change the setting seems like an eternaty when time is of the essance.
Mike ... Actually demonstrate something.... -and custom rate a Deere 2730 .... the 4in1 it may be the most versatile' vertical tiller out .... and try writing back : CS

Neat to see a Viking in action.

Having Run the Sunflower and CaseIH VT tools we have given up on that and went back to a Disc Chisel pass
Mind me asking what you didn't like about the vertical till.

I agree with you all They did was take a disk put different blades on it and renamed it a Vertical tillage tool.
Do the specs list horse power based on the gang angle?
Great video. Would be even better with Versatile tractor :) regards
Hopefully soon I can video one on a Versatile tractor.
Thanks Mike !
Good video
wow nice video..
Looks like it's doing what a vt should do.
Thanks for the intro to your VT machine. It would be great if all the tool makers did something like this.
Concave blades so it really isn't vertical tillage.
Could you follow, fall chiseled ground and use it as a seed bed prep disk to?
Ive seen guys do just that with other VT tools and it seems to worked really well.
Mike Less okay I was wondering if you were to run it at 16 degrees on chiseled ground and 8 degrees for mix granular fertilizer
8 degrees would be plenty especially if the ground was chiseled.

Do you have some big logs and other debris floating in the fields? I saw a lot of this last week in Southern Illinois from the flooding.
I would need a 18-20 foot model which is not made
Not a Mach Till. Wouldn't buy one. Old fashioned Case IH disk type.
Waste of fuel

Offset front gang like White had on there disk.
Nice disk Mike, lots of options , around here vertical tillage lost its steem
Great video Mike!

@Mike Less does this tool create a compaction layer? I know the Great Plains turbo max doesn’t.
1:30 no master-slave hydraulics? What a joke.
That tractor is pretty far down on my wishlist.
They're a great tool!
Nice looking unit, been looking at the excellerators
Did you get an exelerator and if you did what did you think of it on a scale of 1 to 10 in corn stalks
