2020 Great Plains 1300 & 1300F Drills 1300F

Providing big-drill performance in a smaller machine, the Great Plains 1300 End Wheel Drill is the best built end wheel drill on the market. Heavy-duty openers feature hydraulically adjustable down pressure for consistent seed placement along the full width of the unit.

Its rugged construction, combined with a superior opener system, make the unit ideal for minimum-till conditions. The weatherproof seed box features a 3.2 bu./ft. capacity—one of the largest in the industry—minimizing the number of refills required to finish the job. The openers are in line with the end wheels, reducing sideloading on curves or terraces.

Features may include:

• Setting planting rates is fast and simple with a 4-speed sprocket transmission and easy-to-adjust seed-rate handle.

• Quickly disengage all chains and sprockets for reduced wear during transport.

• 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 on openers.

• T-handle offers 18 different positions for accurate depth control.

• Single press wheels include a 3"x13" double rib* press wheel; a 3"x13" center rib press wheel; a 2"x13" smooth press wheel; or a 3"x14" peak press wheel for arid areas. A 1"x12" double-V press wheel is also offered for 7½" and 10" spacings.

• Large end wheels provide excellent ground drive to the seed meters. Lockout hubs save drive components from wear.

• Largest seed box in its class means more time seeding and fewer stops to fill.

• 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. The full-length seed tube guides seed all the way to the bottom of the seed trench to ensure excellent seed placement.
