2022 Great Plains 16-Row Bulk-Fill PL5800

This 40' bulk-fill planter is available in a variety of row spacings, and with an array of features and options designed to create a planter with everything you need to achieve outstanding yields.

Designed with operator experience and profitability in mind, the new Great Plains PL5800 Planter delivers simplicity in operation and accuracy in planting. The PL5800 features a new 5000 Series Row Unit with an all-new Great Plains Air-Pro® Meter and seed delivery system to ensure precise singulation and planting accuracy, and excellent seed-to-soil contact.

To provide proper singulation, a 66% larger seed pool reservoir, combined with a 92% larger seed inlet opening, help keep the meter full at higher speeds. Available in single-row and twin-row configurations, this front-folding planter also comes with new, shorter closing wheel mounts (on select row spacings) to ensure proper seed-to-soil contact and furrow closing while planting.

The PL5800’s frame has been simplified and features redesigned wing toolbars that supply meter air pressure, eliminating the need for a dedicated air manifold above the toolbar. The new, innovative dual-fan air system delivers a wide variety of seeds to the meters—even on difficult terrain.

To simplify operator interfaces and planter monitoring, the PL5800 uses a new WSMT3 Control System. The planter is offered with a Topcon X35 monitor, but is also ISO-certified so other monitors can be used. Like all Great Plains planters, Row-Pro™ systems are available to automatically maintain the proper down pressure on the row unit, giving producers peace of mind.

Features may include:

The 5000 Series Air-Pro­­ Meter offers industry-leading singulation with its simple, positive air pressure meter. It includes a large seed pool and seed inlet opening so the meter stays full — even at higher speeds.

The 5000 Series row unit features 15" 4mm opener blades that are offset 1/2" to handle residue and cut through tough soil conditions. The shorter closing wheel arm maintains better seed-to-soil contact around curves and contours.

The Great Plains ISO Solutions Suite delivers a simplified and universal ISOBUS-based interface solution that includes plug-and-play setup without the need for expensive aftermarket unlocks and subscriptions; access to remote support; and terminal extension capabilities from the field. This solution can be used with all Great Plains ISOBUS-compatible products.

Choose either the 2-point hitch or the hydraulic tongue hitch (inset) for hooking to tractors without 3-point lift arms.

A dual-fan air system with a newly-designed seed pickup system provides advanced seed delivery for many types of seed with various seed treatments, even across uneven terrain.

Choose either 82-bu. or 150-bu. hoppers. 82-bu. hoppers can be equipped with two side tanks for liquid fertilizer. A dual-fan air system with a newly-designed seed pickup system provides advanced seed delivery for many types of seed with various seed treatments.

New, 5-cell and 30-cell hemp seed disc that meters seed accurately.

Choose either Individual Row Control (IRC), hydraulic drive, or ground drive with a contact wheel. IRC allows variable-rate seeding and consistent seed spacing, even on tight turns.

The PL5800’s frame has been simplified with redesigned wing toolbars that act as meter air-pressure manifolds. This eliminates the need for a dedicated air manifold above the toolbar.
