2021 Summers VRT Renegade® 9B3500

The Summers VRT Renegade is the most versatile tillage tool available. That’s because it features a highly adjustable design with the ability to switch from minimal to aggressive tillage, and anywhere in between. Operators can control the blade angle, hydraulic hitch, tillage depth, gauge wheels, wing down pressure and rolling basket down pressure on the fly using an iPad with Summers iControl Implement Control

This unmatched flexibility allows the VRT Renegade to do the work of multiple implements, including vertical tillage and high-speed disks, as well as many other conventional tillage implements. And, it can fit into virtually all tillage programs.

Features may include:

The iControl™ computer is mounted on the implement and controls the blade angle, hitch control, tillage depth, gauge wheels, wing down pressure and rolling basket down pressure. An iPad connects wirelessly to iControl, allowing operators to make adjustments from the tractor cab through the simple touchscreen interface.

The blade angle of the front and rear disk blades can be hydraulically adjusted using an iPad. By simply pressing a button, you can set the angle of the front and rear blades independently, anywhere from 0 to 19 degrees, to achieve minimal or aggressive tillage or something in between. Zero degrees results in true vertical tillage performance for chopping residue with minimal soil disturbance, while a more aggressive blade angle buries more residue and produces a blacker soil finish.

A hydraulic hitch allows the operator to shift the weight of the implement from front to back. Shifting weight to the front helps the implement break through hard, dry soil conditions, while shifting weight to the back increases soil mixing. The VRT Renegade® can also be set to float mode to follow the ground contour.

Adjust the amount of hydraulic down pressure being applied to the wings to achieve uniform tillage results across the full width of the implement.

Gauge wheels can be adjusted from the cab to keep the wings properly adjusted in loose soil conditions.

Our rolling baskets feature a patented internal mud scraper to keep them running clean, even in wet conditions. They’re ideal for breaking up clumps and providing a uniform soil profile, and they come with hydraulic down pressure for fine-tuning the field finish.

Set the tillage depth in the cab with the touch of a button on the iPad.

The patent pending blade mount cushion assemblies for the VRT Renegade feature a high performance urethane cushion and are designed to provide consistent down pressure for cutting while providing the relief from rocks and other objects. The cushion assemblies are mounted in-line for better sizing of residue than angled or staggered blades. This unique feature combines the benefits of both gangs and independently mounted blades.

The Samurai™ blades and dual-mounted hubs feature robust double-row ball bearings.

The Summers exclusive Osmundson Mfg. Co. patented Samurai disk blades on the VRT Renegade offer the latest in tillage blade technology. They have a sawtooth design that excels at sizing residue and moving soil. The blades perform well in both wet soils and hard, dry conditions, and they are heat treated for extended life.
