51-mm (2-in.) disk gang bolts
Gang tension system
John Deere's 2630 Series Disks provide an innovative approach to tension disk gang bolts.
Hydraulic fore-aft leveling
Hydraulic fore-aft leveling comes as standard equipment with John Deere's 2630 Series Disks. Operators can level the disk from the comfort of the tractor cab.
Residue management
As crop yields increase, so does the amount of residue after harvest. The John Deere 2630 Disk enables producers to prepare soil for planting.
Utilize the residue calculator to identify the optimal residue management solution to meet the producer’s needs.
Spring pack
Spring pack
John Deere’s mechanical wing control helps producers keep their frames level for five-section disks. Mechanical wing control is included in base equipment for all five-section 2630 Series Disks.
With this feature, a large spring is placed in the wing frame on each side of the disk. As the pivot point in the wing starts to raise, the spring presses against that point to keep the disk level through tough field conditions.
The red circles below illustrate the area of the disk where the large spring is placed in the wing frame.
Mechanical wing control
John Deere’s mechanical wing control is an industry-exclusive feature. A five-section disk without mechanical wing control can show up to 75-mm (3-in.) of depth inconsistency across the wing frame.
John Deere’s 2630 Series Disks and Vertical Tillage Implements feature extended-life bearings. These more durable and reliable bearings allow producers to customize bearing maintenance for specific growing conditions and soil types.
The flange-mounted bearing and sealing system features improved contamination resistance. The advanced seal material is highly resistant to wear and damage caused by abrasive soils and other crop materials. The design of these are more durable and reliable than previous bearings.
The design of this bearing system allows for dynamic self-alignment to the gang bolt, as opposed to trunnion-mounted bearings that have limited alignment capability. This system features additional freedom of movement, accommodating a wider variety of field conditions. The bearing system has been designed to decrease stress and fatigue on the inner rolling surfaces, supporting extended bearing life.
The bearing and seal design allows for a limited, seasonal maintenance interval to minimize downtime. They also allow producers to customize the maintenance for specific growing conditions and soil types. The multi-lipped sealing system cannot be damaged by frequent greasing. It allows bearings to accept grease within the bearing as well as provide grease to the outer bearing surface to eliminate wear between the bearing and housing. With this design, the bearings can accept grease even if misaligned to the housing.
The 2630 Series Disks offer multiple upgrades and new items as options versus the 2620 Series Disks to enhance the machine. Check out the following video sharing more about the new 2630 Series Disks.
Extended-life bearings
John Deere’s 2630 Series Disks and Vertical Tillage Implements feature extended-life bearings. These more durable and reliable bearings allow producers to customize bearing maintenance for specific growing conditions and soil type.
TruSet™ side-to-side feature
John Deere TruSet system is featured in base equipment for the 2630 Series Disks and Vertical Tillage Implements. TruSet side-to-side is also available and features individual section leveling.
Knife-edge hydraulic rolling basket
The hydraulic rolling basket is now offered with a round bar, flat bar, or knife-edge. The knife-edge is best for heavier, wet soil, and can be used in rocky conditions.
Radial tires
The 2630 Series Disks and Vertical Tillage Implements feature radial tires for the mainframes in base equipment. Radial tires are available as an option on the wing frame and stabilizer wheels. These tires are designed to offer longer wear life and help minimize compaction with a wider plate and lower inflation pressures.
Stabilizer wheels
Producers can choose either mechanical stabilizer wheels or TruSet hydraulic stabilizer wheels as an option. Stabilizer wheels help to maintain a consistent, level depth and are recommended for operation on rolling ground. The mechanical stabilizer wheels can be manually adjusted with a turnbuckle. TruSet with side-to-side leveling capabilities also enables operators to control the TruSet hydraulic stabilizer wheels from the cab while on the go.

Integrated TruSet Tillage technology enables disk and vertical tillage operators to adjust disk depth and down pressure on the active hydraulic rolling baskets while on the go to respond to changing field conditions such as varying soils, heavier residue, and moisture.
With a short window of time to perform tillage operations, TruSet can provide significant productivity improvements as operators are able to adjust the implement while covering acres with the push of a button. By responding to conditions as they change throughout the field, TruSet enables operators to generate better-quality tillage performance with the first pass.
Using a GreenStar™ display, a user sees real-time data for disk depth and basket down pressure for assurance of desired tillage outcomes. Once the actual set point is validated and configured to the display in the cab, operators are able to make independent adjustments as small as 2.5 mm (0.10 in.). Four customizable presets enable operators to save and name different combinations of settings for their most common field conditions.
Single-point depth control is included with the TruSet Tillage system, giving operators the choice of automated or manual adjustments. Hydraulic routings on the 2630 Series Disks and Vertical Tillage are designed to allow each implement to feature both TruSet and standard single-point depth control for system redundancy, operator preference, and flexibility at resale.
Producers can upgrade to TruSet with side-to-side control to enable individual section leveling.

Hydraulic Wing Control
Hydraulic wing control
Hydraulic wing control is available as optional equipment on all 2630 Series Disk.
A John Deere-exclusive control valve allows varying hydraulic pressure to the wing-fold cylinders.
- Transfers weight from the mainframe to the wings to improve penetration in hard ground and/or heavy soils
- Increasing pressure to the rod end of the cylinder holds the wing level to prevent gouging in soft and/or moist soils
A pressure relief feature allows wings to flex over obstacles to help prevent damage to the cylinder rod.
Convenient knob adjustment can be easily reached from front of disk.
The indicator gauge provides the operator with a quick visual indication of the results of the adjustment.
Requires tractor with closed-center hydraulics or John Deere pressure and flow hydraulic system.
Requires operator to follow special operating instructions (see disk operator's manual).
