Description of Unit
The center pivot hitch is a pull-type tillage implement de-
signed to tow a Great Plains three-point drill. No-till
coulters are mounted on the hitch. Each coulter is aligned
with a drill opener. Each coulter tills a strip for a drill open-
er. The hitch has two hydraulic circuits: one for raising and
lowering the coulters and one for raising and lowering the
drill.
Intended Usage
Use the center pivot hitch in no-till field conditions. Use the
hitch only with a Great Plains three-point drill. Do not mod-
ify the hitch for use with drills or attachments other than
those specified by Great Plains.
