applying nutrients at the right

time, you can virtually eliminate

leaching and denitrification.

The Great Plains Nutri-Pro® and

sprayer lines are the perfect

solution to help you increase

utilization while reducing costs.

SEED PLACEMENTTo maximize yield, three things

must be done well: seed

spacing, seed depth, and

seed-to-soil contact without

sidewall compaction. Great

Plains Drills and Planters are

designed and built using these

principles. Again, no matter

what your farming practices,

we have the right seeding

configuration to achieve a

uniform stand in a variety of

crops. We are the seed place-

ment specialists!

Page 6: SEED - Great Plains...SEED PLACEMENT To maximize yield, three things must be done well: seed spacing, seed depth, and seed-to-soil contact without sidewall compaction. Great Plains

2x13 SINGLE PRESS WHEELS - This design presses soil directly over the seed, aggressively firming the soil surrounding the seed at the precise depth selected.

1.25x13.5 WEDGE WHEELS - Combining the “Best of Both Worlds,” this wheel design closes seed trenches with an aggressive tapered edge while its large “footprint” allows it to stay on top of loose soil. (Not suggested for native grass or food plot seeding)

3x13 CENTER RIB PRESS WHEELS - This design firmly presses soil directly over the seed with the center rib of the wheel, creasing the soil. This crease allows the crust to crack open for even seed emergence.

1x12 DOUBLE PRESS WHEELS - This design closes the seed trench with an aggressive “pinch-ing” action, providing excellent depth control in most soil conditions. (Not suggested for native grass or food plot seeding)

Closing Wheels

Options

1/4" OFFSET BLADES - Offer the best cutting

W-CLIPS - Adjust the down pressure from 90 to 180 pounds of

consistent down pres-sure per row.

SEED-LOK® - Spring-loaded wheel that firms seed into the moist soil for better seed-to-soil contact, and ultimately, more uniform emergence.

KEETON SEED FIRMER® - Helps to keep seed in the bottom of the seed trench and does some firming as well.

Features & Benefits

The 06 Series Row Unit by Great Plains utilizes the “Fluff and Plant” no-till system with an integrally mounted coulter to cut residue and prepare a mini-seedbed for the trailing double disk opener. Opener disks are 13-1/2" in diameter with 4mm thick blades, 205 triple lip sealed bearings, and 1/4" opener disk lead.

Inside the double disk blades lies the key to Great Plains’ seeding success. Our unique seed tube design and trailing flap control the seed all the way to the bottom of the seed trench where the seed stays in place. Competitive openers let the seed fall from the center of the disk. When seed is released from such height, it often bounces out of the seed trench, causing uneven spacing and emergence. Optional seed firmers provide additional assurance toward uniform

seed placement and even emergence. Options include the Keeton Seed Firmer® or the Great Plains patented Seed-Lok® Firming Wheel, which is spring loaded to provide excellent seed-to-soil contact. Firming the seed into moist soil creates better, more consistent emergence.

Down pressure is controlled on the 06 Series Openers by two heavy-duty down pressure springs that offer from 90 to 180 pounds of consistent down pressure. An adjustable W-Clip at the bottom of the springs controls the amount of pressure. A T-handle located above the press wheels offers 18 different settings for quick, positive, and precise depth adjustments. Your choice of press wheels firm the soil back into the trench and complete the planting process.

00 SeriesGreat Plains 00 Series Openers are designed for min-till fluted feed drills. The 00 Opener features 13-1/2", 4mm blades mounted on 205 triple lip sealed bearings. The 00 Opener has a 1/4" lead opener blade. A rear depth-controlling gauge

wheel uses a T-handle adjuster to provide 18 depth settings.

Features &Benefits

Great Plains designed its 5' (3P500, 3P500V) and 6' (3P600) Min-Till Drills to get into places big drills simply can’t – like wooded areas, orchards, and vineyards. They are ground driven and are excellent for seeding into fully prepared and minimum tillage plots. Our 3P500s and 3P600s feature 4-speed gearboxes for fast seed rate changes. Seedbox capacity ranges from 8.5 bushel to 12 bushel, depending on model. An optional small seeds box can be added to our 3P500 or 3P600 models to plant two dif-ferent seeds at the same time.

All models are equipped with our rugged 00 Series Open-ers (see page 7) to provide accurate and consistent seed placement. Our 00 Openers have 7" of stagger to allow residue to easily flow through the unit. Inside the opener, our

full length seed tube gently guides the seed all the way to the bottom of the trench while the seed flap ensures the seed stays in place, eliminating the seed “bounce” that is cre-ated by competitive drills. The trailing press wheels maintain proper opener depth, close the seed trench, and firm the seed into the soil. T-handles quickly adjust the press wheels and allow for small incremental changes in planting depth.

Other features found on these models include a highly visible seed level indicator; extremely accurate fluted feed cups; V-bottom inserts on the inside of the seedbox that allow all the seed to be metered; a conve-nient crank to calibrate seed; watertight lids that stay open for easy filling; and splash guards that prevent seed loss.

00 Series

3-POINT MOUNTED - Category 1 and Category 2 hitches for easy mounting to different tractors.

SMALL SEEDS ATTACHMENT - Utilizes a smaller ver-sion of the fluted feed cup to accurately meter tiny seeds like alfalfa and wildflowers.

4-SPEED GEARBOX - Lifetime lubricated heavy duty gearboxes make seed rate changes quick and effortless.

Great Plains 3P606NT 3-Point Mounted No-Till Drills allow you to get close to field edges and, with our proven ground drive, no hydraulics are needed.

This heavy-duty no-till drill is loaded with features, including 450-pound pre-loaded coulters, a calibration crank that is convenient to access, a ground-driven metering system, rain-tight seedbox lids, and our finest double disk no-till opener. This rugged 6' seeder is ideal when space is limited or when maneuvering among trees and other obstacles is required. The lead coulters have 4" of stagger to aid in residue flow while preparing a mini-seed-bed for the 06 Series Openers to plant into. Coulter blade options include 5/16" fluted or our exclusive 5/8" Turbo blades.

All 3P606NTs come standard with a fluted feed seedbox. A native grass seedbox can be added for seeding big and little blue-stem, smooth brome, and other “fluffy” native grass seed mixes. A small seeds box, which is a smaller version of our stan-dard fluted feed box, can also be added to accurately meter small seeds like clover and alfalfa. Or both can be added to seed three different types of seed at the same time – all at different rates.

It features nine 06 Series Openers and a choice of 5/16" fluted or 5/8" Turbo coulter blade options. Its end wheel design reduces sideloading when operated on contours and curves, eliminating premature opener wear.

Other features, like heavy-duty coulters, an easy-to-access calibration crank, a central grease bank, lock-out hubs for transport, and optional weight brackets, create a system designed for long-term dependability. Our 606NT includes a 12-bushel-capacity main seedbox as standard. Additional seedboxes include a 1.44-bushel small seeds box or a 6-bushel native grass box to increase productivity in a broad range of seeding applications.

Our Great Plains 8' Min-Till Drill (800) is a smaller version of our 1300 End Wheel Drill that uses the same field-proven 00 Series Opener to properly place seed. This rugged opener utilizes 13-1/2", 4mm thick disk blades with 205 triple lip seals for long life. It also features full length seed tubes and an 18-position T-handle press wheel to pre-cisely control depth. Changing the 5-position, centrally located down pressure adjustment is quick and easy, ensuring the correct pressure regardless of the conditions.

Other features include a 1-3/4"-wide fluted feed metering system. It utilizes a 4-speed gearbox and adjustable gate

opening to accurately set a wide variety of planting rates for seeding crops from alfalfa to peas. A dry fertilizer and/or a small seeds attachment can also be added to further tailor the drill to your needs.

Lockout hubs free the drive component system during transport. Safety lighting, elec-tronic acre meter, lift cylinder with hoses, calibration crank, V-bottom dividers for easy cleanout, and a folding tongue are all standard equipment. Optional equipment includes air design disk scrapers, seed-box agitator, and either Keeton Seed Firmers® or our exclusive Seed-Lok® firming wheels.

CALIBRATION CRANK - Specialty seeds are ex-pensive. Calibrating your machine allows you to control the amount you use.

HYDRAULIC OPENER LIFT/DOWN PRESSURE - Tractor hydraulics raise and lower the openers quickly. They also apply static down pressure to the row units.

LOCK OUT HUBS - Disengages all drive compo-nents, reducing wear and tear during transport.

2-POINT WITH LIFT ASSIST - Allows for unmatched ground gauging in rough, rolling terrain while ensuring safe operation and transport.

LIFT ASSIST - Two standard lift assist wheels in the rear of the 3P806NT provide greater lift capacity and assist the tractor’s 3-point. Straddle axle caster wheels provide maneuverability and strength.

The Great Plains 3P806NT and 3P1006NT are 2-Point Mounted No-Till Drills with lift assist wheels to en-sure safe operation and transport. Both utilize the 06 Series Openers to properly place seed. The coulters are pre-loaded to 450 pounds to ensure proper penetration, even in the toughest conditions. The spring pre-load coulter design adds stabili-ty and improved tracking on slopes. Our double disk configuration and full length seed tube ensures that the seed is placed consistently at the chosen depth. Additional seed tubes are used to place both native grass and small seeds. This allows three different seeds to be planted at separate rates and different depths at the same time. Depth

control is handled by the 18-posi-tion T-handle press wheel adjust-ment.

The main seedbox is a fluted feed design. The seeding rate is set with the four speed transmission and the adjustable gate opening. The optional native grass box uses our proven “picker wheel” to meter the seed. Rates are adjusted by varying the speed of the drive. Lastly the optional small seeds attachment is a smaller version of our fluted feed system, and seeding rates are set by changing the opening of the fluted feed. The ground drive system au-tomatically disengages when lifted, simplifying the unit and enhancing its reliability.
