The better VT machines today have capability to angle the blades for more dirt moving action when needed. One example is the Great Plains Turbo-Max vs the Turbo-Till. The Max you can angle the blades hydraulically from the cab on the go which allows you to move a little dirt. Not real aggressive but helps level ruts or bury a little trash. Pulls hard though. Gotta have some horsepower because they work best at about 8-10 mph. Not a big weed killer but that's what your sprayer is for. Little emerging weeds can be controlled.
The VT tillage really shines for the no-till guys because it works the ground yet leaves the residue on top but pins it into the soil so it doesn't all blow away into the neighbors fields and fencelines. In our area they are best used in the fall right behind the combine to size trash, loosen the soil and get the corn stalks on the ground so they can begin rotting quicker. But on wet years they get used in the spring more just to dry out ground and level seed beds etc. Good all around tool for different conditions but I wouldn't own one I couldn't angle the blades on. I haven't used a disk in five years.
In these pictures I'm working in the fall with the blades straight with no angle. I have no intention of moving dirt here unless I'm trying to level ruts or bury trash. What you can't see is I have rolling spiders and rolling blades on the back. I don't have a picture of those to show you but they make all the difference in the leveling and sizing of trash and soil.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
