Flat Fold Markers
Hydraulically-operated markers leave a visible groove to
use as centerline for the next pass.
The single marker mounts on the left side of the drill. The
dual markers mount on both sides, and include an auto-
matic sequence valve for operating alternate sides on
each pass. Both markers include speed adjustments.
If ordered with a new drill, markers are factory-installed.
Each kit equips one drill.
Markers add weight to the drill, but only to the wing sec-
tion(s). The dual kit adds 1860 lbs (844 kg). The single
kit adds 930 lbs (422 kg). See page 43 for the contribu-
tion to available down-pressure.
To maintain equal available force when a single marker is
installed, add one entire weight kit to the right wing, pop-
ulated with eight 100 pound (45 kg) weights.
Dual Weight Kit
If unusual soil conditions require more weight for coulter
penetration, weight bracket kits are available. Each kit
includes two brackets. The brackets attach to the wing
mainframe, and accept up to five standard “suitcase”
tractor weights (not included), approximately 500 lbs
(227 kg) per bracket or 1000 lbs (454 kg) per kit.
The empty weight of the kit itself is 121 lbs (55 kg), or 61
lbs (28 kg) per bracket.
The weight kit is field-installed. See “Frame Weights” on
page 43 for use.
Great Plains suggests using no more than 3 kits (6
brackets, 3000 lbs (1361 kg) on the 3S-4010HD and 3S-
4010HDF.

Transport Hazard:
Adding more than the recommended weight to the drill frame
could cause a tire to blow during transport, leading to a seri-
ous road accident and personal injury. Do not add more than
3000 pounds to the drill frame.
