Frame Design
Frame Engineered for Performance
Our industry-leading vertical tillage technology enhances operator control, reduces maintenance and extends component life.
The True-Tandem 335 VT and Barracuda models' symmetrical frame design provides uniform pulling pressures with improved balance and stability. The stabilizer and gauge wheels are bolted directly to the frame. The hitch is designed for tractor compatibility and a rear hitch is available for pull-type operations.
Leveling & Depth Control

Earth Metal® Blades
Keep Your Edge with Earth Metal Blades
Stronger than ordinary carbon steel blades, our industry-exclusive Earth Metal blades cover rocky terrain and uneven ground with confidence – even at high speeds.
- Crimped center disk blades provide a tighter fit with cast iron nodular spools and add strength to the center of the blade.
- Perfect for no-till and minimum-till environments, these blades penetrate hard soils to break through surface compaction.
Gang Assembly
Gang Assembly Supplies Superior Finish
The 18-degree gang angle, paired with each blade’s concavity and crimped center, results in even cutting and mixing action for a superior finish.
Front gang blades and rear gang blades are precisely indexed to one another, providing an even surface finish and a more even sub-surface floor than any other vertical tillage tool and high-speed disk.
The VT-Flex™ 435 model's gang angle can be mechanically or hydraulically adjusted from 0- to 12 degrees.
Finishing Tools
Put the Finishing Touches on Your Seedbed
Optional 3-bar Coil Tine Harrow is also available for rice producing areas where high quantities of heavy, thick residue are common.
AFS Technology
Optimize Every Pass with AFS Soil Command™
