Adjustable gang angle

A gang angle that can be adjusted from 0 degrees to 12 degrees enables a producer to maximize productivity, adapt to spring or fall fieldwork, and address multiple agronomic challenges. Some producers may desire a true vertical tillage of 0-degree gang angle to decrease soil and residue disturbance on highly erodible land. For others, a more aggressive gang angle is desired to level the field, fill in light ruts, remove weeds, or incorporate more residue in the soil. The adjustable gang angle allows producers to create the ideal seed bed, no matter the field conditions.

Quick and easy gang angle adjustments

The 2660VT offers two methods to adjust the gang angle in changing field conditions. Using the the TruSet™ Tillage system, the gang angle can be adjusted on the go from the cab, or it can be manually adjusted with the quick and easy-to-use gang roller slider.

Manual adjustment

Gang angle adjustment

0- to 12-degree gang angle range:

Manual: 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 degrees
TruSet™ Tillage: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 degrees

True vertical tillage – 0 degrees:

Vertical residue cutting without lateral soil movement

Lower intensity – 2 to 6 degrees:

Cutting, sizing, and light horizontal mixing of soil and crop residue

Medium intensity – 8 to 12 degrees:

Cutting, sizing, and maximum horizontal mixing of soil and crop residue, fill in shallow ruts/tire tracks, light weed management

The 2660VT gangs use field-proven components for excellent reliability and performance. The 55.9-cm x 0.65-cm (22-in. x 0.256-in.) blade with 18.4-cm (7.25-in.) spacing provides valuable residue cutting and sizing to promote stalk break-down and releases nutrients back to the soil.
