Blockage Detector

The seed monitor supports sensors that monitor for
plugging in the one-inch, secondary hoses. The package
includes programmable blockage modules for each tower
and flow sensors for each secondary seed hose. The
blockage modules signal the monitor when flow stops at
a sensor. The monitor then sounds an alarm and
identifies the problem hose.

To order blockage sensors, contact your Great Plains
dealer.

Coulters

The 3N-4010HDA supports either frame-mounted or
unit-mounted coulters. It is not possible to install both
types on the same drill.

Unit-Mounted Coulters

Unit-mount coulters (UMCs) attach directly to the 10HD
row unit, and the coulter blade maintains a precise
relationship to the opener disk (seeding) depth.

UMCs are suitable for lighter no-till and conventional
tillage conditions. Their down-force is limited to what the
10HD row unit can provide. In challenging conditions,
weight kits may be required.

UMCs are dealer-installed. Order one kit part number
per row. Weight is 40 lbs (18kg) per row.

For operation, see “Unit-Mounted Coulter
Adjustments
” on page 42.
