Overview

With short windows of time to perform tillage operations, TruSet provides significant productivity improvements as operators can adjust the tool with just the push of a button, maximizing acres covered per day. By responding to conditions as they change throughout the field, TruSet Active enables operators to generate a higher-quality tillage performance within the first pass.

Using a GreenStar™ display, an operator sees real-time data for a variety of feature settings, ensuring confidence in desired tillage outcomes. Four customizable presets enable operators to save and name different combinations of settings for their most common field conditions, which allows for even quicker implement adjustments.

TruSet allows for adjustments from the cab

TruSet Tillage system

Single-point depth control is included with the TruSet Tillage system, giving operators the choice of automated or manual adjustments. Hydraulic routings on the tool 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.

John Deere has expanded TruSet features to bring even more functionality into the cab: 

• Active depth, and basket pressure and raise
• Gang angle
• Hydraulic active stabilizer wheels
• Hydraulic wing control
• Hydraulic fore-aft control

TruSet features and packages

TruSet Tillage features a variety of technology features and packages. With either the Select or Premium package, you can elevate your experience with some or full control of your tillage tool from the cab at your fingertips. The following table outlines each TruSet offering specific to the implement model. For additional information on each feature, see the details after the table.

*Currently not available in feature packaging

**New feature

NOTE: All Select package features are also included in the Premium package.

Active depth (Select and Premium package)

Adjust depth and pressure while in the field

• With TruSet Active, the tillage tool automatically adjusts and keeps the desired depth even through changing field conditions, such as tire sink in soft soils or mud buildup in damp and sticky conditions.
• This is possible using an ultrasonic sensor that measures the distance from the mainframe to the soil as the implement travels through the field.

Basket pressure and raise (Select and Premium package)

• Integrated TruSet Tillage technology enables the operator to adjust their down pressure on the hydraulic rolling baskets while on the go to respond to changing field conditions such as varying soils, heavier residue, and moisture.
• Easily raise your baskets with one touch to avoid certain areas of the field, whether you are wanting to check the tillage tool with the baskets up or avoid going through a wet spot in the field. Once you’re through the area and ready to lower the baskets, simply press the basket lower to resume your desired basket pressure. 

Side-to-side leveling (Premium package)

Individual section leveling with TruSet side-to-side

• Operators have the option to enhance the TruSet Tillage system with individual section leveling functionality. TruSet side-to-side is available as a field-installed option that can be ordered with the tillage tool or through aftermarket parts. The base TruSet Tillage system can also be upgraded to TruSet side-to-side with a conversion kit.

Gang angle (Premium package)

Gang angle adjustment

• With TruSet gang angle control, operators can adjust the gang angle on the go right from the cab. Adjusting the gang angle from 0 to 12 degrees provides more horizontal soil movement. The more aggressive the gang angle, the more soil mixing and burying of residue. Operators can also remove light ruts, tracks, and weeds at the most aggressive gang angle.

Fore-aft (Premium package)

Hydraulic fore-aft control levels the 2660VT

• TruSet hydraulic fore-aft control enables operators to level the implement from the comfort of the tractor cab.

Wing down pressure (Premium package)

Hydraulic wing control pressure

• TruSet hydraulic wing control transfers the weight from the mainframe to the wings to improve penetration in hard or heavy soils. In high-speed, shallow-depth tillage operations, maintaining a consistent depth across the tillage tool is critical to the consistency of the seedbed.

NOTE: TruSet hydraulic wing control pressure is only offered on three-section models.

Stabilizer wheels (additional factory option)

• Getting the best field performance is easier with TruSet Active hydraulic stabilizer wheels. Choose the option to easily adjust the depth of the stabilizer wheels from the cab to match the overall depth as changes are made. This feature replaces the mechanical linkage on stabilizer wheels with a hydraulic cylinder.

NOTE: Stabilizer wheels are not offered on one-section models.

TruSet documentation

With integrated TruSet Tillage technology, operators can incorporate documentation and prescription functionality into their tillage operations. The tillage documentation feature allows producers to capture and analyze the tillage pass for additional coverage of the crop production cycle. Prescription functionality provides producers the capability to ensure their tillage operations are executed correctly, optimizing their investment in preparing for the next crop.

Operators can document data for the depth of their tillage tool along with rolling basket down pressure. By creating an as-applied map based off global positioning system (GPS) data for the job performed by each functional area on the implement, TruSet enables producers to document their tillage passes then later review and analyze the data for future agronomic decisions.

Additionally, the Prescription Creator by Agrian® company, a connected partner tool through the John Deere Operations Center, enables producers to create prescriptions for each functional area on the tillage tools. Data from previous yields, soil surveys, or freehand drawing tools can be used to create prescriptions that command the implement to the desired depth and pressure settings for optimum agronomic results.

Individually mounted blades

Rubber torsion elements

The 2680H High-Performance Disk features individually mounted blades. These blades, supported by rubber torsion elements, can travel up to 22.9 cm (9 in.) while passing over an obstruction, like a rock. This allows the rest of the tool to remain engaged and continue working, allowing for better ground contour.

Keep the tool engaged while passing over obstructions

To also follow ground contour, wings on the three-section machines flex to stay engaged on hilly or terraced ground.

Wings follow the ground contour

Blades are also easy to replace. Rather than having to remove an entire gang, just replace an individual blade.

Integral three-point rigid machine

Three-section drawn machine

The 2680H High-Performance Disk gives operators the ability to cover acres quickly, increasing their productivity. This two-season tool can operate up to 22.5 km/h (14 mph) in field.

This tool is available in fifteen configurations from 2.4 m to 13.7 m (8 ft to 45 ft). The 2680H requires 34.25 kW/m (14 hp/ft), but in certain hilly, soft, or wet conditions it may require an additional 25 percent engine horsepower to maintain operating speeds at preferred working depth.

Cage roller

Spring roller

Rubber roller

Producers can choose from three rear attachment options to match their operation. Options include a cage roller, spring roller, and rubber roller.

The cage roller is the most versatile option. Choose this rear attachment if the primary application is fall tillage. It works in all soil types and conditions and has a diameter of 64.8 cm (25.5 in.).

The spring roller is the most specialized. It works in light/medium soils and can provide a level seedbed with additional firming. Individually mounted tines work to prevent plugging of the roller. Avoid using it in rocky ground. It has a diameter of 62.2 cm (24.5 in.).

The rubber roller is best for firming and preparing a seedbed in the spring. It works best in lighter drier soils where a firm finish and anchored residue is a primary concern. This rear attachment works in most soil types and features a hydraulically adjustable scraper. It has a diameter of 63.5 cm (25 in.).
