SEEDBED PREPARATION
Managing the soil prole to
maximize water uptake and
prepping your seedbed are
critical. Regardless o your
arming practices, Great Plains
literally has every piece o
tillage equipment you need,
including our new Turbo-Max™.
Turbo-Max is tearing up the
competition with its innovative
design and eatures.
NUTRIENT APPLICATION
For maximum plant benet,
precise placement o High
Value Nutrients is a must. By
applying nutrients at the right
time, you can virtually eliminate
leaching and denitrication.
The Great Plains Nutri-Pro® and
sprayer lines are the perect
solution to help you increase
utilization while reducing costs.
SEED PLACEMENT
To maximize yield, three things
must be done well: seed
spacing, seed depth, and
seed-to-soil contact without
sidewall compaction. Great
Plains Drills and Planters are
designed and built using these
principles. Again, no matter
what your arming practices,
we have the right seeding
conguration to achieve a
uniorm stand in a variety o
crops. We are the seed place-
ment specialists!

“This year I entered the National Corn Growers Association’s Corn Yield Contest.
I ended up with a rst place win in Kansas’ non-irrigated corn division, and I did
it with a Great Plains Twin-Row Planter. The reason I decided to make the move
rom thirty inch to twin row was to try to take away the competition between
the plants and to spread out the root system and stalks. I wanted to plant as
many plants per acre and get as many harvestable ears or the acre as I could.
We are pushing thirty thousand plus on dry land. You just can’t do that on a
thirty-inch conguration and expect everything to thrive. That’s why I chose
twin row and that’s why I am still using it six years later.”

OW-PRO™ - Is a small pneumatic cylinder
ttached to the parallel linkage and
ontrolled by the IntelliAg™ Controller.
A load sensor in the side depth wheel
ends down-pressure measurements to
he monitor which adds or subtracts air
ressure rom the cylinder, maintaining
onsistent pressure on the side depth
wheels to minimize sidewall smearing and
nsure even emergence and good plant
igor.
SWATH COMMAND™ - Utilizes GPS
positioning to automatically turn on and
o row units, saving costly over-seeding
and eliminating yield-robbing double-
planted areas. The AI120 monitor works in
conjunction with IntelliAg™ to build the
“As Applied” map.
TRU COUNT CLUTCHES -
Tru Count clutches drive two
row units at a time on 15" and
twin-row models, reducing the
overall cost o this option.
PNEUMATIC CYLINDER - Counteracts down
pressure on the go to achieve the “set”
pressure (down-pressure springs ghosted
or clarity).
ntelliAg™ MONITOR CONTROL SYSTEM - IntelliAg can be set to link ront and rear
openers or sense separately, and be set or either automatic or manual control.

Row-Pro™ Cylinders
AIR BAG - Used by the
competition. Air bags
require high air volume
and are slow to react to
changes in terrain, such as
those experienced when
going over a terrace or
crossing a low spot.
PNEUMATIC CYLINDERS - Not only
are more reliable than air bags,
but are much quicker to respond
to soil changes since they require
considerably less air volume. This
quicker response helps ensure
more accurate seed placement and,
ultimately, higher yield potential.

Some innovations are simply
timeless… which is certainly
the case with the Great Plains
25 Series Opener. The 25 Series
Row Unit was designed to plant
more accurately, last longer,and be easier to maintain than
the competition. Its parallel
linkage design keeps the row
unit in the optimal planting
position to maximize spacing
accuracy and yield potential.
The opener’s body and cast iron
parallel arms are narrower, yet
stronger, than conventional
30" openers. The narrow prole
allows this row unit to pla
twin-row crops with each
being only 8" apart. It can
be equipped with automa
down-pressure control as
as a long list o other optior adapting it to a wide ra

Great Plains Air-Pro® Meters take singulation
nd spacing accuracy a step beyond what
s oered in the industry today. Our Air-Pro Meters load seed in the seed disc with
pressurized air. As the seed rotates, it enters
he brush area where the air is cut o. Without
he air ow, the seed is mechanically held
n the seed disc until it is “dead dropped”
directly into the Clear-Shot® Seed Tube. This
esults in consistent “dead” seed drop, unlike
ompetitive vacuum meters that have “early”
nd “late” release, which aects spacing.
Air ow is provided to each unit by a single
hydraulically driven an. The rst priority
o the an is to maintain a consistent meterpressure, and is regulated by the IntelliAg™
Controller. Air ow not used to maintain
meter pressure is diverted to bulk seed
delivery. This extremely ecient system
equires only 9 gallons per minute (15 GPM
max.) o hydraulic ow to operate the an
on a 16-row twin-row-equipped planter. On
olding models, air ow is provided by a single
8" hydraulically driven an, while on 4-, 6-, and
8-row planters, a 6" an is used to pressurize
he meter and the seed is gravity ed.
Static cling can ruin good metering, so Great
Plains Meter Wheels use specially ormulated
injection molded polymers that greatlyreduce static electricity. Composite brushes
have interwoven metal bristles to remove
any latent traces o static cling. This allows
the seed to drop rom the pocket at the
same place every time. Changing seed discs
is eortless: simply unsnap the composite
rain cover and twist the center locking knob
one-eighth turn to release the seed disc. Air-
Pro Meters are designed with durable seed
brushes that can be easily serviced by turning
the two quarter-turn latches with a common
at blade screw driver.
The Great Plains Air-Pro Meter System has
also been designed to operate at higher
ground speeds than the competition. The
large 11" diameter meter wheels turn at
approximately 20 rpm when planting twin-
row corn. The Clear-Shot Seed Tube has also
been redesigned to not only remove any
obstructions inside the seed tube, but has had
the curvature adjusted to provide a dead drop
at 5.5 mph. Other brands are designed or
speeds o 3.8 to 4.2 mph.

They say good things oten come in
small packages, and that is certainly
the case with the 4-, 6-, and 8-Row
Yield-Pro® Planters rom Great Plains.
Believing it was time to provide smaller
armers access to the yield-increasing
technologies oered in our larger
planters, our engineers designed three
models around the Air-Pro® Metering
System, giving these compact planters a
new level o spacing and seed placementaccuracy.*
For added versatility, the 4-, 6-, and 8-Row
Yield-Pro Planters can be congured
with either standard single rows or our
innovative Twin-Row design on 30", 36",
38", or 40" spacing. Plus, all models are
available in either a 3-point mounted or
pull-type conguration.
Like their larger Yield-Pro counterparts,
the 4-, 6-, and 8-row models each
utilize the 25 Series Row Unit or
greater accuracy, longer lie, and easier
maintenance than most competitive row
units. Not only does the unit come with
a broad selection o clear seed discs to
handle a variety o dierent seeds, but
customers also have a choice o press
wheels to match every operation and
planting style. A hydraulic an providespositive air to the Air-Pro® Meters or
exceptional accuracy. Four-inch maniold
and proportional metering rings ensure
the same pressure to each row unit
without the worry o air leaks.
