The Supercoulter Samurai, inspired by farmers' needs, is a versatile tillage tool that offers the benefits of vertical tillage with enhanced soil movement. Designed with slightly angled Samurai blades, it provides a balance between true vertical tillage and conventional methods, making it an ideal choice for managing residue, light tillage, and seedbed preparation. This tool is particularly effective for both spring and fall applications, ensuring the right amount of soil movement and conditioning without the intensity of high-speed disks or conventional tillage.
The Supercoulter Samurai features an innovative design with front and rear gang blades set at optimal angles to achieve the desired field finish for most farming needs. The blades, spaced 10 inches apart and offset between the gangs, ensure superior residue flow and thorough soil tilth. The Samurai blades, exclusive to Summers and patented by Osmundson Mfg. Co., are slightly concave with a sawtooth design, making them highly effective in various soil conditions. They are also heat-treated for extended durability, performing well in both wet and dry conditions.
Additionally, the Supercoulter Samurai is equipped with features like a hydraulic hitch for weight transfer, allowing operators to optimize performance in different field conditions, and Super-Flex™ C-Shanks to absorb shocks from rocks and stumps. Optional finishing attachments, such as harrows and hydraulic rolling baskets, further enhance its ability to produce a uniform soil profile, making it a comprehensive solution for modern farming needs.

The Summers VRT Renegade is the most versatile tillage tool available. That’s because it features a highly adjustable design with the ability to switch from minimal to aggressive tillage, and anywhere in between. Operators can control the blade angle, hydraulic hitch, tillage depth, gauge wheels, wing down pressure and rolling basket down pressure on the fly using an iPad with Summers iControl Implement Control technology.
This unmatched flexibility allows the VRT Renegade to do the work of multiple implements, including vertical tillage and high-speed disks, as well as many other conventional tillage implements. And, it can fit into virtually all tillage programs.
The VRT Renegade can be controlled wirelessly via Summers' iControl™ technology. This option uses an iPad to adjust the blade angle, hitch control, tillage depth, gauge wheels, wing down pressure and rolling basket down pressure from the cab through a simple touchscreen interface. Learn more here.
For operators who prefer a more traditional control box, a cab-mounted switch box is available. The heavy-duty switch box uses toggle switches and dials to perform the same functions as the iControl app.
Farmers have been wanting more flexibility in their tillage tools. So, we’re putting you in command of your tillage results with the VRT Renegade® equipped with iControl™ Implement Control technology, which offers a wide variety of on-the-fly adjustments for fine-tuning implement performance.
Basically, the iControl system is the brains of the VRT Renegade. The iControl computer is mounted on the implement and controls the blade angle, hitch control, tillage depth, gauge wheels, wing down pressure and rolling basket down pressure. An iPad connects wirelessly to the iControl computer from the tractor cab, allowing operators to make easy adjustments to the VRT Renegade through the simple touchscreen interface of the iPad. No hassles with third-party monitors or changing tractors…Just an iPad control system easy enough for any operator to understand and use.
When adjusting the VRT Renegade, you’ll likely dial in some favorite implement settings. The iControl iPad app allows you to save them as presets to quickly recall those previous implement settings. For instance, you can set the front and rear blade angles to zero degrees and save it as a “vertical tillage” preset. Then, when you approach a hill, all you need to do is select that preset, and the implement will revert to those settings for minimal soil disturbance on that hill. Save and name other presets for various types of crop residue, soil types, soil moisture levels, slopes and more…There are lots of possibilities.

The Supercoulter Samurai stands out due to its unique design, which combines the benefits of vertical tillage with increased soil movement. Unlike traditional tillage tools, which may be either too aggressive or not aggressive enough, the Supercoulter Samurai offers a balanced approach. Its slightly angled Samurai blades allow for more soil movement than true vertical tillage but are less intensive than conventional tillage or high-speed disks. This makes it an ideal tool for residue management, light tillage, and seedbed preparation, providing a field finish that meets the needs of many modern producers.
The Supercoulter Samurai is designed with flexibility in mind, allowing you to adjust its performance to suit various soil conditions. The gang blades are set at a standard angle (3 degrees for the front and 5 degrees for the rear), but you can manually adjust these angles from 1 to 5 degrees to better match your soil type or personal preference. Additionally, the patented hydraulic hitch allows you to transfer weight between the front and rear gangs, optimizing performance for tough residue, hard ground, or seedbed preparation. This adaptability ensures that the Supercoulter Samurai can handle a wide range of field conditions effectively.
The Supercoulter Samurai offers several optional attachments to enhance its performance, particularly for residue management and soil finishing. The recommended finishing attachment includes a harrow and hydraulic rolling basket, which are designed to distribute residue evenly, break up clumps, and create a uniform soil profile. The rolling baskets feature internal mud scrapers to prevent buildup and can be adjusted for varying pressure or raised as needed. Additionally, you can choose between 3- and 4-bar harrows, which can be set for deep or shallow penetration, ensuring flexibility and effectiveness in different field conditions. These attachments make the Supercoulter Samurai a comprehensive tool for achieving optimal field preparation.
