Great Plains FCA4500
Features
00 SERIES OPENER
Proven, reliable Great Plains 00 Series openers provide perfect seed-to-soil contact and quick, uniform emergence by precisely placing seed in moist, freshly-tilled soil.
CHOOSE YOUR SHANK & SWEEPS
The heavy-duty K-flex shanks (right 2) have 185 lbs. of point trip force. The spring-loaded magnum shanks (left 2) have 205 lbs. of point trip force. Both shank styles are available in minimum draft or flat lower shanks. Sweeps are 11" wings with hard surfacing.
COMBINE TILLAGE AND SEEDING
This highly-productive implement combines tillage and seeding to reduce time, fuel, and tractor depreciation hours.
FINISHING REEL
Following the sweeps, a 12" finishing reel firms the soil ahead of the openers to create an excellent seedbed.
FLOATING HITCH
The single-pole floating hitch allows enhanced flexibility for consistent cultivation, regardless of terrain. It also permits tighter turns without interference with the tractor.
HYDRAULIC WEIGHT TRANSFER
Hydraulically transfers the weight from the center section of the machine to the wings for even seeding depth across the entire drill.
LARGE-CAPACITY CART
The Cultivator Air Drill implement couples to a 350 bu., 2-bin air cart for reliable, uniform delivery of seed and fertilizer to the implement. Air drill cart sold separately.
MAX-MIX™ SHANK PATTERN
On an effective 7" spacing, the Max-Mix shank pattern creates the perfect seedbed by eliminating weeds and uniformly mixing soil, residue, and fertilizer (if applying) for even distribution.
PRESS WHEEL OPTIONS
Options include 2"x13" smooth and 3"x13" center rib.
OPTIONAL KNOCK-ON SWEEPS
Quick-change system for installation and removal of sweeps. Once installed, the sweeps can be changed without the use of power tools.
OPTIONAL BLOCKAGE MONITOR
Monitors seed flow for optimum performance.
OPTIONAL DOUBLE-SHOOT SEED/FERTILIZER
Allows seed and fertilizer to be placed in opener seed tube, or fertilizer directed to first two rows of field cultivator sweeps.
OPTIONAL DRY FERTILIZER
Fertilizer delivered in first two rows of Max-Mix pattern. The next two rows mixes fertilizer across all rows.
