The VTA is designed to be a universal fit for most all tillage shanks: 1-5/8” & 1-3/4” hole
spacing with 7/16” holes and 2” & 2-1/4” hole spacing with ½” holes.

The Vertical Tillage Attachment has a wide variety of capabilities, making it ideal for use
in the spring and the fall.
In the fall, it can be used to lightly till the soil and incorporate and size residue, setting the
stage for the spring planting season. It is also a practical way to dry out wet soils. The
Vertical Tillage Attachment works well in no-till conservation tillage, as well as
conventional tillage operations, extending the growing season and creating better
planting conditions. Vertical tillage prepares the soil to warm more quickly in early spring,
energizing the seedbed for maximum growth and yield potential. In addition, the Vertical
Tillage Attachment allows for shallow seedbed preparation, which decreases the risk of
excess soil density below the root zone.
The Vertical Tillage Attachment is also an excellent addition to spring residue
management. It increases planting efficiency, offers maximum yield potential, and
performs well in all residue conditions. When wet cool fields delay spring planting, the
Vertical Tillage Attachment is the perfect tool to use to dry and warm them. Fluffing and
sizing the residue along with fracturing the soil speeds the drying process. The Vertical
Tillage Attachment can be used as a surface crust breaker following heavy rains. Like all
Yetter products, it is built tough to last, and even in high residue crops, such as wheat,
corn, and soybeans, the Vertical Tillage Attachment delivers optimal performance, cutting
heavy residue to enhance planter operation. In addition, it offers improved insect and
disease control through residue sizing and disturbance.
Overall, the Vertical Tillage Attachment is a smart investment in that it has multiple uses,
which will ultimately produce savings in terms of time and money. It also has a low
operating cost per acre and can be used in a wider range of conditions than most tillage
tools. It operates at a relatively high speed of 6 to 10 MPH, which saves time.
Additionally, the Vertical Tillage Attachment allows for quick mixing of manure and soil to
prevent loss of nutrients and control odor. It can also be used for very shallow
incorporation of fertilizer and select herbicides.
The Vertical Tillage Attachment can be equipped with a wide selection of coulter blades.
Spaced on 6” centers, the coulter blades can be matched to achieve the desired amount
of tillage and residue sizing.
