Summers Offers New Switch Box Control Option for VRT Renegade® Tillage Tool

Summers Manufacturing has introduced a new switch box option for its VRT Renegade® variable rate tillage tool. The switch box uses toggle switches and dials to modify tillage settings, instead of an iPad touchscreen, which was previously the only control option for the VRT Renegade.
 
The new switch box offers the same functionality as the original iControl™ iPad app for the VRT Renegade. It can be used to control a multitude of tillage settings, such as independent front and rear blade angle adjustment from 0 to 19 degrees. Other adjustments include hitch angle, gauge wheel height, wing down pressure and rolling basket down pressure. Instead of modifying tillage depth from the controller, units equipped with the switch box have manual single-point depth control for added simplicity.
 
Built to withstand abuse, the switch box features durable housing with heavy-duty switches and dials. It also includes a small display for viewing down pressure settings.
 
“The iPad control has been a very popular feature of the VRT Renegade, but there are still many operators who prefer a more traditional control box,” said Matt Volkmar, Director of Sales and Marketing for Summers. “With the new switch box we now have controller options to accommodate everyone’s preferences.”
