If your Great Plains Chopper is running its stock 0° angle, this kit gets you a working angle — your choice of 3° or 5° — for a fraction of what a new machine built with that angle would cost. More angle means a rougher pass: bigger chunks, deeper grooves, more residue buried under dirt for the winter. Less angle is what you want heading into a smooth spring planting surface. Choosing between the 3° and 5° option lets you dial in how much of that trade-off you need.
Installation is bolt-on — no welding or cutting. It’s built for later-model Choppers that use 2-bolt clamshell-type bearings; it does not fit older models with 4-bolt bearings, so confirm your bearing style before ordering.
Covers six Chopper models — 1200TC, 1500TC, 1800TC, 2400TC, 3000TC, and 4000TC — each available at 3° or 5°, priced by model size.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this kit actually change on my machine?
It changes your Chopper’s operating angle from the stock 0° up to 3° or 5°, your choice. More angle means a rougher pass — bigger chunks, more residue buried — which is what you want heading into fall and winter. Less angle leaves a smoother surface for spring planting.
Will this kit fit my Chopper?
Only if it’s a later model with 2-bolt clamshell-type bearings. If your Chopper has the older 4-bolt bearings, this kit isn’t compatible — confirm your bearing style with us before ordering.
Does installing this kit require welding?
No — it’s a bolt-on kit, no welding or cutting required. It includes new gang plates and the hardware to install them.
What’s the difference between the 3° and 5° option?
5° digs in more than 3°, moving more dirt and burying more residue per pass; 3° leaves a smoother finish. Pick based on what your ground and the season need.
What Chopper models does this kit cover?
1200TC, 1500TC, 1800TC, 2400TC, 3000TC, and 4000TC — priced by model size, each available at 3° or 5°.
