Description of Unit
The NTA3010 and NTA3510, serial numbers Z1370 and
lower (“Z1370-”) are seeding implements designed to tow
behind a Great Plains ADC1150 or ADC2220 Air Drill
Cart. For drills serial numbered Z1371+, see Operator
Manual 160-219M-A.
Working width is 30 or 35 feet. The implements are de-
signed for no-till field conditions. Coulters open a narrow
seedbed. Disk-type, parallel-linkage openers follow each
coulter, widening the seedbed and delivering seed to the
trench.
The cart uses air to move seed through primary seed hos-
es to distribution towers on the implement. From the tow-
ers, seed is blown through secondary seed hoses to each
opener. The openers are equipped with press wheels,
which then firm the seedbed.
The implement is equipped with two hydraulic circuits. The
lift hydraulics raise the implement for field turns and fold-
ing. The fold hydraulics raise the wing sections for trans-
port. The fold hydraulics also power the cart fan and
transfer weight from the implement center section to the
wings during seeding.
Intended Usage
Use this machine for seeding small grains and legumes in
no-till or minimum-till applications.
