What the Turbo-Max 2400 is used for
The Turbo-Max 2400 makes a shallow pass for residue cutting and soil conditioning after harvest or before planting. A lower gang angle favors a lower-disturbance pass, while a greater angle increases mixing and leveling action. It is normally followed by planting or another finishing operation when a finer seedbed is needed.
Why the Great Plains Turbo-Max 2400 stands out
Hydraulic gang-angle adjustment allows tillage intensity to be changed without switching implements. Front and rear blade gangs work with finishing attachments to leave a more uniform surface. The design is intended for high-speed shallow operation rather than deep primary tillage.
Buying a used Great Plains Turbo-Max 2400
Operate the gang-angle system and inspect cylinders, pivots, stops, and hoses for leaks or excessive play. Check all blades, hubs, and bearings, plus basket or roller bars and bearings. Look closely at fold hinges and frame joints, and confirm even depth control across the machine.
Great Plains Turbo-Max 2400 frequently asked questions
How does Turbo-Max differ from fixed-angle vertical tillage?
Its gang angle is adjustable, allowing the operator to choose less or more soil mixing for a given pass.
What depth is normal for a Turbo-Max 2400?
It is normally used at shallow depths of about 1 to 5 inches, depending on residue and desired finish.
Does a 24 ft Turbo-Max need a large tractor?
Draft varies with angle, depth, speed, and soil, but a high-horsepower tractor is commonly required for a 24 ft machine.
Specifications are commonly cited figures for general reference; exact figures vary by year and serial number, so confirm against TractorData.com and the machine's records. Values and prices of used tillage equipment vary by condition, use, and region. Page updated Aug 4, 2026.
