Introduction

Great Plains welcomes you to its growing family of new

product owners. This implement has been designed with

care and built by skilled workers using quality materials.

Proper setup, maintenance and safe operating practices

will help you get years of satisfactory use from the ma

chine.

Description of Unit

The 6- and 8-row, pull-type planter is a towed planting im-

plement. The frame consists of 7-by-7-inch tubing. Plant-

ing rates are adjustable by changing sprockets on the

planter transmission or contact drive. Row units are

mounted on the frame. Seed hoppers are standard on the

row units; chemical hoppers and granular-chemical appli

cators are available. Springs on each row unit provide

down pressure needed for the double-disk openers to

make a seed trench. Finger-pickup meters singulate and

dispense seed from the hopper and deliver it to the trench.

Seeding depth is controlled by side gauge wheels on the

openers. Closing wheels or disks close the trench. With an

optional 5-by-7-inch fertilizer bar, the planter can be outﬁt

ted with dry or liquid fertilizer application and tillage attach-

ments.

Intended Usage

Use this implement for planting row crops in large ﬁelds.

Tow the implement behind an agricultural tractor at speeds

of less than 20 mph. The unit is designed for convention

ally tilled ﬁelds but can be used in no- or minimum-till con-

ditions if outﬁtted with optional tillage attachments.
