Degelman Pro-Till 30/36/41/45 Reviews, Ratings & Specs

The Degelman Pro-Till 30/36/41/45 lineup is built for farms that need larger-acreage high-speed tillage, heavier frame construction, and more acres covered in short spring and fall windows. Degelman presents this generation as a major step forward, emphasizing a stronger “drop the pin and go” approach, narrower transport than its older 33- and 40-foot machines, true greaseless technology, and compatibility with options like the Scorpion Hitch and Pro-Cast granular applicators.

On Aglist, this page should help buyers do more than scan manufacturer claims. It gives them a place to compare real reviews and ratings, owner impressions, and field-use feedback on stability, residue sizing, transport practicality, maintenance demands, and finishing quality across the larger Pro-Till sizes.

Reviews & Ratings on Aglist

Factory specs tell buyers where the Degelman Pro-Till 30/36/41/45 fits on paper. Reviews show what these machines are actually like in the field over a full season.

Residue flow and sizing at higher speeds
Field finish behind larger frames
Stability on headlands and rougher ground
Transport confidence between fields
Real maintenance savings from greaseless components
Tractor match and pull demand in different soils
Long-term durability impressions

This is where Aglist can add real value. Buyers shopping in this size class usually want more than width and weight charts. They want to know how a 30- to 45-foot machine behaves when the weather window is short and the acres are waiting.

What Makes This Pro-Till Generation Different

Degelman says this generation of Pro-Till is built around narrower transport sizes, true greaseless technology throughout, and broader versatility through add-ons like the optional Scorpion Hitch and Pro-Cast granular applicators. The company also describes the lineup as the next generation of performance and emphasizes that it continues the Pro-Till standard for high-performance tillage.

That matters because buyers in this category are not just choosing width. They are choosing a machine that must move efficiently between fields, run hard when conditions allow, and avoid wasting time on unnecessary service stops. That last point is an inference based on Degelman’s repeated focus on narrow transport and greaseless ownership.

Field Performance & One-Pass Productivity

Degelman says Pro-Till is designed to help operators do more in less time and to achieve in one pass what other equipment may need two or more passes to accomplish. The company also says the machine can get into the field sooner in wet, cold, or challenging conditions, while promoting more even residue distribution, a more uniform seedbed, and better soil contact.

For Aglist users, this is one of the most important reasons owner feedback matters. Large tillage equipment is often judged not only by its size, but by whether it truly reduces passes, saves time, and leaves a finish worth following with the next operation.

Narrower Transport Sizes

Transport is one of the biggest selling points on this page. Degelman says the new Pro-Till models fold up almost 7 feet narrower in high position than its previous 33- and 40-foot models. The company lists the Pro-Till 30 and 36 at 13 ft 2 in in high-position transport width, while the Pro-Till 41 and 45 fold to 16 ft 0 in in transport position.

For farms that move often between quarters, that can be a major practical advantage. Easier road travel can matter nearly as much as acres per hour, especially where roads, approaches, or transport routes are less forgiving.

True Greaseless Technology

Degelman strongly promotes this lineup around True Greaseless Technology. The company says it uses an exclusive self-lubricated, zero-maintenance bushing built from a friction liner on a glass-fibre structure, combined with oversized electroless plated nickel pins. Degelman says these pins are 2.5 inches in diameter and more than 60% larger than anything else on the market. On the same page, another callout also describes the pins as 2 inches in diameter, so the published source itself contains conflicting pin-diameter wording.

For buyers, the practical takeaway is still clear: Degelman is positioning these machines as heavily built and intentionally designed to reduce routine greasing during narrow spring and fall work windows. That can be a strong ownership advantage if real-world use supports it.

Build Weight & Machine Scale

The PTL30, PTL36, PTL41, and PTL45 are clearly aimed at serious acreage. Degelman lists machine weights of 27,500 lb, 31,500 lb, 37,800 lb, and 39,500 lb respectively when equipped with rubber roller, scraper, and 20-inch discs. Hitch weights rise from 7,000 lb on the PTL30 to 11,400 lb on the PTL45.

Those figures show why tractor matching and transport planning matter so much in this category. Buyers need to think beyond working width and consider what their tractor, drawbar setup, and hauling routes can comfortably handle.

Disc Layout & Roller Sizing

Degelman lists 24 centre discs on the PTL30 and PTL36, and 32 centre discs on the PTL41 and PTL45. Per-wing disc counts are 23, 31, 33, and 37 respectively. The page also lists large roller dimensions, with centre rollers of 9 ft 10 in on PTL30/PTL36 and 14 ft 6 in on PTL41/PTL45, while wing rollers range from 9 ft 10 in to 14 ft 6 in depending on model.

For Aglist, this is a good place for ratings and field comments, because numbers alone do not tell the full story. Buyers often want to know how evenly the machine finishes, how it handles residue across the full width, and whether larger models stay consistent from centre to wing in real field conditions.

Transport Height & Yard Fit

Transport height can matter just as much as width when moving larger tillage tools. Degelman lists multiple transport heights depending on model and roller type. With rubber rollers, low-position transport heights range from 13 ft 0 in on the PTL30 to 13 ft 8 in on the PTL45, while high-position heights range from 13 ft 4 in to 14 ft 3 in. With cage rollers, low-position heights run from 12 ft 4 in to 13 ft 0 in, and high-position heights from 12 ft 10 in to 13 ft 11 in.

These measurements are important for farms thinking about storage sheds, overhead clearance, and local roads. On larger implements, transport practicality can make or break the fit for a specific operation.

Best Use Cases

The Degelman Pro-Till 30/36/41/45 lineup is commonly suited for:

Large-acreage residue management
High-speed shallow tillage
Farms needing faster field coverage in short working windows
Buyers prioritizing lower maintenance through greaseless design
Operators who move large tillage tools between multiple fields
Farms considering options like Scorpion Hitch or Pro-Cast integration

Its biggest appeal is the combination of large working scale, narrower transport than older models, and a maintenance-light ownership angle that Degelman pushes hard as a differentiator.
