Osmundson Samurai© Edge
The difference is versatility©. The Samurai© edge works on high-speed vertical tillage because it uniquely sizes residue back into the soil. Its patented design also stays sharp longer and positively turns with the tractor, which reduces down time and decreases fuel consumption. Size residue faster and easier than ever before with the patented Samurai© edge. The same Osmundson strength, power and quality our customers expect out of our blades can now be harnessed into the most versatile product on the market. Can be used in both plain- and notched-blade applications, is available in diameters up to 26 inches and can be used in all concavities.

Turbo-Max® From Great Plains Mfg.
Great Plains Mfg. designed its innovative Turbo-Max® to provide all the advantages of true vertical tillage in a single piece of equipment. Turbo-Max models, offered in widths from 12 to 40 feet, feature two coulter gangs with 7 1/2-inch spacing between each blade. The rear gangs offset the front gangs, splitting the blade spacing to 3 3/4 inches, allowing for improved sizing of residue in one pass. Gang angles adjust hydraulically from 0 to 6 degrees, offering greater flexibility to match field conditions. Angled gangs bury more residue in the fall, while straight gangs create a level, vertically tilled seedbed that is perfect for spring planting.

McFarlane 4100 Series Reel Disk
The new McFarlane 4100 series Reel Disk is a true vertical-tillage machine designed to create a superior seedbed without creating yield-robbing horizontal density layers.

Mandako Twister
The Mandako Twister is #1 when it comes to versatility in vertical tillage. With the ability to hydraulically adjust the coulter angle from the tractor cab, you choose the finish you want in your field. Run the coulters straight for minimum tillage that slices residue and fractures the soil below the blades in preparation for planting. This leaves the residue on top to protect the soil from erosion. "Twist" the blades to run at full angle and you have a tool that will incorporate heavy residue, fertilizer and chemical. At 700 pounds per foot, the Twister has the weight to keep the coulters in the ground.
