Try this link to DMI tillage website, they have a section on there all about zone tillage, vertical tillage, and no till type systems.

We have used vertical tillage and no till on our farm for many years along with some rotation of convential tillage.

Basically vertical tillage machines run as they say vertically. The sub soliers, minimum disturbance rippers with parabolic shanks can pull up the dirt without disterbing the surface and then you can run a no till planter behind it. The concept of vertical tillage is to eliminate soil compaction without disturbing the surface too much that you cannot plant it.

Read on the website, it explaines it better than I can.

Hope this helps
