705 and 1005 End-Wheel No-Till Drill 150-213M

Great Plains Mfg., Inc.

Spring Length

Coulter springs are preset at 10 inches, giving coulters an

initial operating force of 400 pounds. This setting is ade-

quate for many difﬁcult no-till conditions.

Figure 3-2

Coulter Spring Length

For lighter no-till conditions where rocks or other obstruc-

tions are a problem, you can lengthen coulter springs to

protect coulters from impact. Refer to the chart below for

spring length and corresponding coulter down force.

NOTE: Resetting coulter-spring length shorter than 9 3/4

inches may contribute to premature failure of parts and

warranty will be voided. If additional force is needed, add

weights to drill.

Opener Depth

Press Wheel Adjustment

Set opener seeding depth by adjusting press-wheel

height. To adjust, ﬁrst raise drill slightly, then lift and slide T-

handles on top of openers as shown in Figure 3-3. Adjust

all press wheels to same height.

• For shallower seeding, slide T-handles toward drill.

• For deeper seeding, slide T-handles away from drill.

Opener Mounting

You may need to lower openers that run in tire tracks. To

lower individual openers, connect opener spring bar (1) in

a higher hole (2). Move spring bar to a lower hole (3) to

raise opener.
