Description of Unit
The 2S-2600 is a towed seeding implement. This two-sec-
tion drill has a working width of 26 feet and folds to a trans-
port width of 15 feet. The drill has straight-arm, double-
disk openers. The opener disks make a seed bed, and
seed tubes mounted between the disks place seed in the
furrow. Press wheels following the opener disks close the
furrow and gauge opener seeding depth. A T-handle on
the opener body is for seeding-depth adjustments. Seed-
ing rates are adjustable with the seed-rate-adjustment
handle and the sprocket box.
The 2S-2600 features active hydraulic down pressure on
the opener frames. When used on a tractor with closed-
center hydraulics, constant down pressure ensures even
opener penetration in uneven ground. Hydraulic down
pressure is adjustable at a single point.
The 2S-2600F allows you to plant seed and apply fertilizer
in the same field pass. Dividers partition the drill boxes into
seed and fertilizer compartments. The openers apply dry
fertilizer to the seed trench before the furrow is closed. You
also can use both compartments for seed.
Intended Usage
Use this implement to seed production-agriculture crops
in conventional-tillage applications.
