We run ripper in fall and spring nh3 before planting. Looking for one pass with good leveling job

we rip it and hit with ****** excelerator and done
I've notice some mentioning VT tools. I have a Krause Excelerator and really like it. The one thing I would mention is if you are ripping in the fall it has a tough time taking those ridges out. It looks smooth behind it but when I planted you could feel them underneath. I used a 730 C. Maybe the newer rippers it doesn't bother but something to consider. I no longer use a ripper and only use the V...
Degelman protill(****** makes one in blue) is the best tillage tool I have ever owned. It is tough and fast.
We have a GP Turbo max and like the adjustable gangs, but just cannot get it to level well. It looks good, but is rough to drive over.
We run a Krause landsman very happy with the job it does.
We love our insite with a basket crumbler or a roller behind it .
I’ve seen guys really happy with either a Great Plains Turbo Max or a Kelly diamond harrow
I'm a bit confused here. Are you asking for primary tillage tool advice, or for advice on what to use following the nh3 application? Cause ** and Case may make really good disk rippers, but I thought Case quit making soil finishers a long time ago, and the ones they did make weren't hardly worth the time spent hauling them to the scrap yard. One of the neighbors uses a Krause Excelerator with a...

Great tool! Well built and tough.
Case or Deere are the best built IMO.
Has anybody used the new deere 2660vt yet. Trying one on monday.

Very well dose a great job of chopping up winter annuals. Increased the good ride on my 20/20 planter monitor 95% or better. Would definitively replace both a disc and field cultivator. Very heavy frame. Probably get more uniform chemical incorporation. Have a great summer. Stay safe
How did you like it?
Hoping I can replace a disc and field cultivator with one tool.
Thank you
We got to demo one this spring and loved it. We weren't able to work our ground last fall, one pass in soybean stubble and it left a perfect seed bed.
We use a JD 2310 Mulch Finisher. Works great for us.
I would stick with a Deere or Case. We run a landoll tilloll and it is a POS. It does a great job making a seedbed but is built too weak and is a pain to get parts for. I know of 2 other guys who have one as well and their service truck stays with it....

I have to disagree about the Landoll tilloll. There’s no shortage of parts available for them. One of the best Landoll dealers in the States has two locations in Illinois. We have ran one for years and there isn’t a service truck following it around.
Thanks for the input. Anyone have experience with ******?
