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.
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.
System Limitations
Due to the style of sensor being used in this system, there have been a few conditions where it’s suggested running the machine with Active Depth turned off. Accuracy of the system may suffer, and active adjustments being applied may be less than desirable.
Downed crop
Snow of measurable depth
Tall weeds
Tall grass/cover crops
Bedded/ridge tilled practices
Internal basket scrapers
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.
Typical percentages of residue cover 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.
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.
