2020 Great Plains 800 Base

2020 Great Plains 800

The Great Plains 8' Min-Till Drill uses field-proven 00 Series Openers to properly and accurately place seed in smaller fields and spaces. This rugged opener utilizes 13½", 4mm thick disc blades with 205 triple-lip seal bearings for long life. It also features full-length seed tubes and T-handle depth adjustment with 18 settings to precisely control seed depth. Changing the 5-position, centrally located down pressure adjustment is quick and easy, ensuring the correct pressure regardless of the conditions.

The 1¾"-wide fluted feed metering system 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 box and a small seeds box can also be added to further tailor the drill to specific needs.

Features may include:

• Disengage rotating drive parts during transport, extending life of components.

• A single hydraulic cylinder lifts openers out of the way for transport and end-row turns (inset). The same cylinder also applies down pressure to the 5-position down-pressure adjustment stop. This setting allows the operator to quickly change the amount of down pressure applied to openers.

• Specialty seeds are expensive. Calibrating your machine allows you to control the amount you use.

• Provides 18 different positions for accurate seed depth control.

• Single press wheel choices include a 3"x13" double* or center rib press wheel that creates a crease in the soil for even emergence; a 2"x13" smooth press wheel; or a 3"x13" peak press wheel for arid areas. A 1"x12" double-V press wheel is also offered for 7½" spacing only.

• Large end wheels maintain accurate seed placement on side hills and uneven terrain. Lockout hubs save drive components from wear.

• Changing seed rates is quick and effortless with these permanently lubricated, sealed gearboxes.

• Great Plains 00 Series openers are designed for min-till fluted-feed drills. The 00 opener features 13.5", 4mm blades mounted on 205 triple-lip sealed bearings. The 00 opener has a ¼" lead opener blade. Hydraulic down pressure is transmitted from the toolbar to the heavy-duty down-pressure spring to apply ample penetration and depth control. A full-length seed tube delivers seed to the bottom of the trench.
