2026 Kubota Great Plains Max-Chisel® MC5317

The Great Plains Max-Chisel® is an aggressive primary tillage tool that is designed to achieve complete fracture at shallower depths, leaving fields smoother and more uniform than most traditional disk rippers. Mounted to individual C-shanks, 24" blades on 15" spacing allow plenty of clearance for trash and residue. All feature maintenance-free tapered bearings in a cast hub and a six-lip interlocking seal to keep grease in and dirt out.

Max-Chisel® works the soil more aggressively than a traditional chisel, but leaves the surface level enough for a single-pass tool to finish the field ahead of the planter in the spring. Angled chopper wheels combine with 15" shank spacing to pull dirt back into the shank voids, leveling the soil while maintaining the vertically-tilled profile left by the shanks.

Features may include:

Order the Max-Chisel® the way you want it with two different shank combinations: standard chisel (right) or heavy-duty parabolic toggle-trip shanks (left). When equipped with heavy-duty parabolic toggle-trip shanks, this unit works in the mid-ranges of 8" to 12" – requiring less horsepower than competitive disk rippers that run in the 13" to 15" range – while horizontally fracturing soil much better than a disk chisel. Toggle-trip shanks either run at the set depth or trip – there is no in-between. Both shanks are effective at eliminating ruts and shallow compaction caused by harvest traffic.

Two opposing rows of exclusive 24" concave Turbo-wave blades aggressively remove root balls while mixing and incorporating crop residue into the top 4" to 5" of soil. This anchors the residue to the ground to accelerate the decomposition process.

Mounted to individual C-shanks, 24" blades on 15" spacing offer adequate room to clear the flow of trash/residue. They are also designed to perform well in wet conditions.

All blades feature maintenance-free tapered bearings in a cast hub with six-lip interlocking seals to keep grease in and dirt out.

Adjust the depth across the entire width of the machine in one convenient location.

Maintain consistent mainframe height for accurate, uniform tillage depth.

Variety of hitch configurations in long, short, ball, and flex-tongue configurations are available. The rear hitches complement the versatility of
