“Important Safety Information”, pages 5 to 9. Have all
operators read this manual before allowing them to work
with the machine.
Description of Unit
The TCN5107, TCN5309, TCN5311 and TCN5313 are
pull-type primary vertical tillage chisels. The TCN 5107 is
a one section machine for narrow (3m) transport. The
TCN5309, TCN5311 and TCN5313 are three section
machines that fold for narrow (3m) transport.
A row of hydraulic-adjustable Turbo coulters fractures the
ground 7-15 cm directly ahead of the shanks.
Two rows of shanks on 76.2 cm centers allows for residue
to flow through the machine. The effective spacing of the
two rows of shanks is 38.1 cm. The shanks can fracture
the ground up to 30.5 cm deep.
The TCN models offer optional shank configurations. The
configurations can have heavy duty parabolic shanks,
medium duty parabolic shanks and/or chisels shanks.
The chopper wheel or buster bar are the two optional TCN
finishing attachments. Finishing attachments are placed
behind the last row of shanks to level the soil.
An optional rear hitch is available for pulling implement/
tanks that do not impose high vertical loads on the hitch,
e.g., vertical load < 350kg.
Brakes are optional on TCN models. Service brakes are
operated by air or hydraulic lines to the tractor. Chock
blocks are provided in both brake options to prevent
movement of the machine while not connected to the trac-
tor. Chock blocks are manually placed.
Do not modify the TCN except as instructed by Great
Plains. Do not use attachments other than as provided by
or authorized by Great Plains.
