2026 Great Plains VT1500

Destroy Layers

The Great Plains VT1500 Inline Sub-Soiler eliminates yield-robbing compaction layers as it delivers all of the benefits of true vertical tillage: enhanced water infiltration, strong root development, and increased nutrient uptake. Reset your soil profile by achieving depths up to 16". The VT1500 offers spring-loaded 20" utility coulters and an all-new, high-protection trip pack shank option with a 2,000-lb. trip force that withstands even the rockiest conditions on your operation.

Features May Include: 

Choice of Auto-Reset or Shear Bolt Shank Mounts

• With 3,000 lb. trip force, the Auto-Reset Shanks provide stop-free operation in areas where sub-surface obstructions exist. Alternatively, the Shear Bolt Mounts provide obstruction protection at a lower purchase cost than the Auto-Reset Shanks. New for 2022! 2,000 lb. high-protection trip pack auto-reset shanks enhance performance and reduce shear bolt breakage in rocky conditions.

Choose Shank Style

• Choose a 1¼" straight-legged shank or a 3/4" no-till shank. The no-till shank is not as aggressive as the straight-legged shank in turning the soil over and covering residue, so it should be used where less ground disturbance is desired. Replaceable wear shins are standard for either shank option.

Choose Point Style

• The 1¼" straight-legged shank is available with points in 2" or 7" widths. These can be ordered with or without fins (fins minimize blowout). The ¾" no-till shank is only available with a 10" no-till point that minimizes surface disturbance and residue burial while maximizing soil-structure-shatter below. Plus, a new 4" no-till point is available for no-till shanks set on 24" spacing. These smaller points allow the machine to operate at shallower depths (10"-12") with less horsepower while still achieving maximum soil fracture.

20" Heavy-Duty Utility Coulters

• Large 20" utility coulters cut residue directly in front of the shanks. This allows it to pass by without catching the shanks.

ADJUSTABLE GAUGE WHEEL

• A screw jack makes adjusting the gauge wheels simple and easy.

Shank Spacing Options

• Multiple shank spacings allow the Sub-Soiler to be tailored to your specific soil needs.

Optional Inline Hitch

• Economical tongue and hydraulic gauge wheel kit turns a 7-shank sub-soiler into a pull-type unit.

Optional Berm Conditioners

• Designed to firm the soil after the density layers are reset by the shanks.

Optional Sub-Soiler Hitch

• Turn any sub-soiler into a pull-type unit, as well other 3-point implements.
