Two new tillage tools from Great Plains
Both are available in two widths, and easily folded for transportGreat Plains has added two new tillage implements to its range: the HT1100 Terra-Max and the VT1100 Turbo-Max.
Both are available in 6m and 7.5m working widths, folding to a compact 3m for easy transport.
The VT1100 Turbo-Max has been upgraded with dual hydraulic finishing reels, which effectively manage clods and refine the soil finish, as well as a chopper reel tool for high-residue conditions that mitigates windrowing challenges.
It retains variable intensity tillage capability, with hydraulically adjustable gang angles up to six degrees setting it apart from many brands of speed discs on the market.
The VT1100 Turbo-Max has straight 20-inch Turbo blades spaced 190mm apart, with offset gangs creating an overall 95mm spacing.
Operators can select from two finishing reel options: either double flat bar or double round bar. The round bar reels are suited to stony conditions, while the flat bar reels are ideal for aggressive clod sizing and residue processing.

The HT1100 Terra-Max is the first hybrid tillage tool from Great Plains to be released in Australia, offering a solution that is claimed to “bridge the gap between vertical tillage and high-speed discs”.
The tool features a new shallow concave TurboSpeed disc and increases the maximum gang angle adjustment to eight degrees, enabling more aggressive tillage when needed.
Demonstrations for the new VT1100 Turbo-Max and HT1100 Terra-Max are scheduled for early 2025.
