    We know that you might have key questions about our products and services. That's why we've put together answers to some of the most frequently asked questions. If you can't find what you're looking for, don't hesitate to reach out, and our team will be more than happy to help.
    What makes the Mandako Tornado different from other tillage machines?

    Unlike single-purpose implements, the Tornado offers true versatility. With three blade options (13 Wave, Samurai, Concave) and hydraulic angle adjustment from 0–14°, it adapts instantly to Vertical Till, Minimum Till, or High-Speed Till. Farmers can cover more acres, manage residue more efficiently, and achieve a consistent seedbed without switching equipment. It’s a one-machine solution for multiple tillage strategies.

    Can the Tornado handle heavy residue and tough field conditions?

    Absolutely. The Tornado is designed for North American conditions — from corn stalks to tough prairie sod. The Samurai blades aggressively slice residue, while the Concave option chops and incorporates organic matter even at high speeds. Combined with 16″ heavy-duty baskets and the new Rolling Spike Harrow, the Tornado ensures residue is properly managed, fields are level, and soils are ready for planting.

    How easy is it to adjust and maintain the Tornado?

    Simplicity is at the heart of Mandako’s design. The Tornado features hydraulic single-point depth control and on-the-fly blade angle adjustment. Quick-change hubs with triple-lip seals reduce downtime, while color-coded hydraulic handles make setup intuitive. Farmers can spend less time in the yard and more time in the field, knowing their machine is easy to operate and maintain.

    What kind of tractor power does the Tornado require?

    The Tornado is built to be powerful yet efficient. Depending on the model, it requires 150+ horsepower, making it compatible with most mid-to-large tractors commonly used in Canadian and U.S. operations. This balance ensures farmers get maximum tillage performance without the need for oversized or specialized equipment.

    Why should I choose Mandako for my tillage equipment?

    Mandako has been manufacturing agricultural equipment in Canada for over 35 years. Our machines are engineered with farmers in mind — rugged enough for Manitoba clay, versatile enough for U.S. corn belt residue, and supported by a strong dealer network. Choosing Mandako means investing in a machine that saves time, reduces operating costs, and delivers consistent results season after season.
