3S-4000 HD Heavy Duty Drill

“Setting the pace through innovation.”

SUPERIOR FLEXIBILITY – Opener sub-frames pivot around the gauge wheel axle for “true” contour following and superior opener flexibility. The competition pivots high on their machine which changes the critical opener-to-ground relationship.
INDEPENDENT SUB-FRAMES – Great Plains uses two hydraulic cylinders per section to conform the opener sub-frames to uneven contours and planting surfaces. This design allows the sub-frame to move indepen- dently of the seed boxes and gauge wheels.
CONSTANT HYDRAULIC DOWN PRESSURE – Constantly maintains pressure throughout the opener’s entire range of motion. Active hydraulics keep the openers in uniform contact with the soil in uneven conditions and varying soil types. This feature optimi- zes seed placement at all times.

If the need for a high capacity box drill is in your future, take a close look at these 3-section drills from Great Plains. These drills are designed for the large-scale operator to cover the most hectares every day. They feature the largest-in-class seed box to keep you in the field longer by minimizing fill time, and waterproof lids for maximum protection. A wide walkboard makes replenishment faster and safer. All models lift only the openers during field turns, reducing wear on the mainframe and speeding up end-row cycle times.

These drills are designed to hug terrain over the full working widths. The wing sections feature 20° of upward flex and 15° of downward flex for superior performance on terraced ground. These drills may be transported fully loaded and when it is time to go to the next field, they fold to a narrow 4,572 m for transport. Maximum produc- tivity is what you can expect from these 3-section min-till drills from Great Plains.
