Introduction
Great Plains welcomes you to its growing family of
new product owners. This implement has been de-
signed with care and built by skilled workers using
quality materials. Proper setup, maintenance and
safe operating practices will help you get years of
satisfactory use from the machine.
Description of Unit
The Verti-Drill is a pull-type seeding implement. The
implement consists of a three-point drill mounted on
a centre-pivot hitch. The hitch and drill are integrally
connected. No-till coulters are mounted on the hitch
to zone-till strips for seed furrows. Straight-arm
openers on the drill prepare seedbeds and place the
seed. The pivoting action of the hitch helps drill
openers track the coulters. A contract-drive tire on
the drill powers seeding off a hitch tire. The tongue
cylinder controls coulter depth and transport cylin-
ders raise the drill for turns and transport.
Intended Usage
Use this implement for seeding production-agricul-
ture crops only. Do not modify implement for use
with attachments other than those specified by
Great Plains. Use implement in no or minimum
tillage.
