John Deere Launched Its New Coulter Chisel Series and a New and Improved Minimum Tillage In-Line Ripper

Marking John Deere's entry into the coulter chisel market, the CC Series combines robust residue management with deep soil penetration, making it an ideal tool for primary tillage. Available in five models, with 11, 13, 19, 21 or 25 standards at 15" spacing, the CC Series is a high productivity tillage tool that reduces compaction, sizes and anchors residue, while offering a broad range of field finish options to suit a variety of crop residue and soil conditions.

Available in configurations with 5, 7, 9 or 11 standards, the MT Series is designed to manage soil compactions while minimizing soil disturbance. For operators who prefer to use large row-crop tractors or four-wheel drive tractors without a 3-point hitch, the 7, 9 and 11 standard implements are available with a drawn or integral hitch option. The 5 standard is only available with an integral hitch, which is integrated into the mainframe of the implement, providing a strong and durable connection point for towing. Positioned for deep tillage operations, reaching depths of 12" to 16", the MT Series is an advanced tillage implement that offers effective soil conditioning to support healthy plant growth and crop yields. For farmers committed to sustainable agriculture practices, the MT Series offers comprehensive features that promote reduced soil disturbance, conservation tillage methods and responsible land management.

Increased Productivity and Efficiency
Both the CC Series and MT Series are equipped with advanced features aimed at enhancing durability and operational efficiency. The CC Series utilizes 7.5" spaced 22" straight coulters using TruSet™ down pressure standard that reaches a 1600-pound trip force to cut and size residue. The new standard allows the operator to achieve a working speed of 7 mph at a depth of 7", increasing productivity and efficiency by allowing them to cover more acres per day. Additionally, the ProFinish™ Leveling System provides various configurations for optimal field finish, tailored to different geographical preferences and crop residues. Compared with the 2720 or 2730 Combination Ripper, the CC Series offering is more productive due to faster ground speeds and less operational input cost with less horsepower required to work the same acreage.

Designed with CADEN Edge wear coating, the MT Series has an increased wear component longevity, with the life expectancy of critical parts being extended by 50%. The simplicity and uptime of the MT Series gives farmers peace of mind knowing that no matter the condition or operator, the MT Series will always perform with little need to adjust as conditions change.

Precision Ag and Autonomy Ready
Both the CC Series and MT Series come designed to integrate seamlessly with precision agriculture technologies. All CC Series models and MT Series drawn models come base with TruSet Active™, allowing for in-cab setting adjustments for depth control on the go. Farmers can document their tillage work and it will be sent wirelessly to their John Deere Operations Center™ account via a JDLink^® connection. Once in the John Deere Operations Center, farmers can see a TruSet Active tillage documentation map showing exactly how deep they were tilling.

For producers preparing to bring autonomy to their operation, the CC Series and 2430 chisel plow will come autonomy ready in-base from the factory. All CC Series will come equipped from the factory with a receiver mast, implement receiver harnessing and lighting package, making the simplicity of the tool a great option for early adopters of autonomy. A customer will just have to add a universal StarFire^® 7500 receiver.

"By equipping the new CC Series with autonomy-ready features, John Deere is paving the way for the future of farming," Porter said. "The CC Series, along with the 2430 chisel plow, come from the factory autonomy ready. This technology ensures that farmers can seamlessly integrate advanced autonomous solutions into their operations, increasing efficiency and productivity while reducing the need for manual adjustments and monitoring," Porter said.
