With working widths ranging from 12' to 25', a choice of openers, and two different styles of meters, the Great Plains 3-Point Drill line offers producers a variety of options to meet the needs of their operation.
Great Plains offers a complete line of 3-Point Drills with multiple options to satisfy specific farming practices and different equipment needs. These drills are available in working widths from 12' to 25', with a choice of openers and either fluted or precision meters.
The 00 Series opener is ideal for most conditions. It features a full-length seed tube and T-handle depth control adjuster. If more vertical travel is needed, the 10 Series opener offers a parallel linkage system that keeps the opener level throughout its full ten inches of travel. Multiple press wheel combinations are available for either series. The 20 Series openers specialize in narrow row planting in stale seedbeds. Side-depth wheels keep sticky, tight soils from blowing out. These openers also feature T-handles for easy depth adjustments, full-length seed tubes, and a choice of V-shaped closing wheel assemblies.
A choice of meters further customizes these drills to the specific needs of the end user. Fluted feed meters and a 4-speed transmission effectively meter nearly any seed in both fast and slow drilling conditions. Precision drills utilize a Singulator Plus™ meter to successfully singulate many seed types, including soybeans, sorghum, and cotton – and even ultra low-rate rice.
Select 12', 15', and 20' models can be turned from min-till to no-till by adding a Great Plains Center Pivot Hitch (CPH) or Precision Fertilizer Hitch (PFH).
