Coulters
The 3S-4010HD and 3S-4010HDF supports either
frame-mounted or unit-mounted coulters (page 87). It is
not possible to install both types on the same drill.
Frame-Mounted Coulters
Frame-mounted coulters are recommended for heavier
no-till conditions and rocky soil. They are independent of
row-unit down-force and may be set to different (usually
higher) force levels.
Because the weight of the drill is used to deliver both
frame-mounted coulter and row-unit opener/press-wheel
down-force, extra weights are almost always required
with frame-mounted coulters. Each coulter itself adds 61
lbs (28 kg) to the drill. See page 43 for information on
calculating requirements.
When ordered with a new drill, frame-mounted coulters
are factory-installed. They may also be ordered for field
installation. Each kit equips an entire drill.
See “Opener Frame Height” on page 37 for adjust-
ments.
Seed Box Options
Seed Tube Plug (Main Seeds)
This plug stops seed flow from the main seed box above
the meter. Order one per row to be set inactive.
