Features

LOW HYDRAULIC REQUIREMENTS

A single 6" fan is used for Air-Pro Meter pressurization, requiring only two hoses that hook to a remote outlet. No case drain or motor return required.

ROW MARKERS

Flat-fold markers help keep planting on track with straight, even rows.

SEED CAPACITY

1.6 bu./row hoppers on twin-row models and 3.0 bu./row hoppers on single-row models.

25 SERIES ROW UNIT

The 25 Series row unit utilizes ductile cast parallel arms for long-term row unit stability. 15", 4mm blades turning on 205 triple-lip seal bearings ensure long life and accurate seed depth. Blades are offset ½" to slice residue and form a perfect seed trench.

AIR-PRO® METER

This simple, positive air pressure meter offers the highest level of singulation on the market today, and achieves uniform spacing by “dead-dropping” seed into the patented Clear-Shot® seed tube. Exhaust is discharged close to and directly towards the ground, not up into the atmosphere, earning the Bee-Friendly™ title. Gentle on seeds, it is more efficient than a vacuum meter and requires less maintenance.

AVAILABLE ROW SPACINGS

Multiple row spacings – from 22" singles to 38" twins – are available to match a variety of needs.

CANOLA SEED DISC

Canola producers will appreciate the precise singulation and spacing accuracy delivered by the canola seed disc from Great Plains. The specially-designed disc is part of our already extensive list of Air-Pro® Meter Discs for seeding corn, soybeans, milo, sunflowers, cotton, wheat, and sugar beets.

CHOOSE A PRESS WHEEL

Choose (from left) cast for sticky Delta soils; wedge to pinch the seed trench together while providing a wide footprint; 1"x12" double-V for all-around performance; or spider wheels with drag chains for aggressively closing the seed trench.

HEMP SEED DISC

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

PULL-TYPE OR 3-POINT

Choose 3-point mounted or pull-type configurations. Pull-type machines can be optioned with either liquid or dry fertilizer.
