2020 Great Plains Hitches PFH-20

Great Plains offers several different hitch options for added versatility. These include the Center Pivot Hitch, Precision Fertilizer Hitch, Sub-Soiler Hitch, and Pull Hitch.

The Center Pivot Hitch (CPH) is designed to turn basic 3-point drills into fully-featured no-till drills, complete with hydraulic depth-adjustable coulters. The drill can either be rigid or float, fore and aft, independently of the hitch.

The Great Plains Pull Hitch offers an economical way to turn a 3-point drill into a pull-type machine, with a single hydraulic cylinder to lift the machine. These are available in either single or double gauge wheel models.

Features may include:

• Up to 3,250 lbs. can be transferred hydraulically from the tractor to the coulter bar to ensure consistent, proper coulter depth. If more weight is needed, add up to 2,000 lbs. to the built-in mainframe weight bracket.

• The rockshaft lift gives this unit plenty of lift capacity to pick up a full planting unit plus 400 gallons of on-board fertilizer. The dual 12.5L tires are designed to straddle 30" rows. Automatic pivot locks engage when fully raised to the transport position.

• This design features a pivot halfway between the rigid 450 lb. preloaded coulter and double disc opener. It works like an articulated 4-wheel drive tractor—the rear opener track follows the front coulter track perfectly! No drifting on side hills, no cutting corners on curves. Just perfect tracking and seed placement, all the time.

• Shock absorbers mounted at the pivot between the tongue and frame stabilize the hitch, creating smooth field turns that reduce wear and improving the seed placement consistency of the attached drill or planter.

• Spring steel fertilizer tines with stainless steel nozzles run directly behind the coulters for excellent placement of liquid fertilizer.

• Choose between a wide ¾" wavy blade, a 5/8" Turbo coulter blade that is aggressive and prepares a mini seedbed ahead of the opener, or a 5/16" fluted coulter blade that penetrates easily (CPH).
