All 2720 Disk Rippers come with TruSet Tillage and single-point depth control in base equipment, providing operators with the choice of in-cab control or making manual adjustments.

TRUSET TILLAGE DEPTH AND PRESSURE CONTROL

In just six seconds, 2720 Disk Ripper operators can manage their changing field conditions such as running deeper over end rows or shallower on hilltops and lighter soils by making on-the-go adjustments for the entire implement from the tractor cab. TruSet enables users to adjust depth for the rippers and adjust the pressure on the active hydraulic rolling baskets – all while covering acres.

For the 2720, producers can also upgrade to TruSet active hydraulic stabilizer wheels to make in-cab adjustments for depth.

TRUSET TILLAGE ACTIVE HYDRAULIC STABILIZER WHEELS

Getting the best field performance is easier with TruSet hydraulic stabilizer wheels. Choose TruSet hydraulic stabilizer wheels as an option on the 6.86-m (22.5-ft) nine-standard model or 8.38-m (27.5-ft) 11-standard model. The mechanical stabilizer wheels can be manually adjusted with a turnbuckle. TruSet enables operators to control the TruSet hydraulic stabilizer wheels from the cab while on the go. It requires TruSet depth and pressure control.

FUNCTIONALITY BY DEPTH-CONTROL OPTION

Single-point depth control is easily accessible from the front of the machine. This convenient performance feature:

• Is in base equipment
• Is easy to use
• Conveniently provides an infinite range of depth settings
• Gives excellent repeatability

TRUSET TILLAGE PROVIDES PRECISE DEPTH AND PRESSURE CONTROL FROM THE CAB ON THE GO

TruSet Tillage provides precise depth and pressure control from the cab on the go. Integrated TruSet Tillage technology enables disk ripper operators to adjust depth and down pressure on the active hydraulic rolling baskets while on the go to respond to changing field conditions such as varying soils, compaction, and moisture.

With a short window of time to perform tillage operations, TruSet can provide significant productivity improvements as operators are able to adjust the combination ripper while covering acres with the push of a button. By responding to conditions as they change throughout the field, TruSet enables operators to generate better-quality tillage performance with the first pass.

Using a GreenStar™ display, an operator sees real-time data for depth and basket down pressure for assurance of desired tillage outcomes. Once the actual set point is validated and configured to the display in the cab, operators can make independent adjustments as small as 2.54 mm (0.1 in.). Four customizable presets enable operators to save and name different combinations of settings for their most common field conditions.

Single-point depth control is included with the TruSet Tillage system, giving operators the choice of automated or manual adjustments. Hydraulic routings on the 2720 Disk Ripper are designed to allow each implement to feature both TruSet and standard single-point depth control for system redundancy, operator preference, and flexibility at resale.

The internal basket scraper allows for a uniform field finish in wet conditions because the baskets do not need to be raised out of ground to avoid plugging and can stay in the ground 100 percent of the time.

This is available as an option for the knife-edge basket.

RESIDUE REMAINING

Typical percentages of residue cover remaining from the 2720 Combination Ripper are listed in the table. These percentages do not consider variables such as the conditions of the residue, speed, and soil type.

NOTE: Percentages assume disk gangs are operating at 152 mm (6 in.) of depth.

The 2720 Ripper offers increased weight per blade over the 512 Ripper to penetrate rock-hard soils and deliver up to 203.2 mm (8 in.) of blade working depth to bury residue. The chart below details the weight per blade of the 2720 with and without a basket versus the 512.

The 2720 Ripper achieves increased weight per blade over the 512 because of the following:

• Mainframe fore/aft tubes increased from 152.4 x 152.4 mm (6 x 6 in.) on the 512 to 177.8 x 177.8 mm (7 x 7 in.) on the 2720
• Mainframe fore/aft tubes increased from 9.5-mm (0.38-in.) thick on the 512 to 12.7-mm (0.5-in.) thick on the 2720
• Wing frames have changed from 6.4-mm (0.25-in.) thick on the 512 to 9.5-mm (0.38-in.) thick on the 2720
• Increase in gang bolt size
• Cast spools

*Non-fragile residue includes crops like corn, sorghum, and wheat (more than 1585.8 L [45 bu]).

**Fragile residue includes crops: like soybeans, edible beans, peas, wheat (less than 1585.8 L [45 bu]), sunflower, peanuts, and cotton.

The level-lift hitch/turnbuckle:

• Holds the frame level fore and aft for consistent depth throughout its range of operating depth, without the need to re-level the machine when the depth is changed
• Allows the operator to go from the working position to the transport position without re-leveling the machine

A single 152-mm x 254-mm (6-in. x 10-in.) hitch tube enables tighter turns on the headlands without the inside tractor dual interfering with the hitch tube.

The turnbuckle is used to adjust fore-aft leveling:

• Convenient, easy adjustment to match the hitch to the tractor drawbar
• Locking mechanism makes it easy to adjust turnbuckle as required; no jam nut to tighten
• Adjustment is made only once for each tractor

The turnbuckle-adjustment wrench is in base equipment:

• Stores for easy accessibility
• Also used to adjust eye bolts for wing depth control cylinders
