The Summers VRT Renegade enhances its utility with new iControl™ Implement Control technology and innovative design features. It offers exceptional adaptability for a range of tillage activities, including vertical tillage and transitioning fields from minimal to fully cultivated states. This tillage tool boasts the ability to function effectively across various conditions and seasons, facilitated by advanced control options such as wireless iPad connectivity, which allows for real-time adjustments in the field.
A standout feature is the latest Samurai™ disk blades, which are heat-treated and designed with a sawtooth pattern for efficient soil engagement and residue management. These blades ensure optimal performance under diverse soil conditions, backed by durable, maintenance-free hubs and a protective urethane spring mechanism.
The VRT Renegade also features customizable settings via the iControl app, enabling operators to save and recall presets for specific tillage needs. Adjustments include blade angles, tillage depth, and rolling basket pressures, all operable from the cab. This flexibility, combined with easy transitions between transport and field modes and additional soil finishing tools like adjustable harrows and rolling baskets, underscores the VRT Renegade's role as a versatile, farmer-inspired solution to modern tillage demands.

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.
