Description of Unit
The NTA3010 and NTA3510 are pull-type drills for
volumetric seeding. A hydraulic fan on a companion
leading air cart creates an airflow to supply seed and dry
granular treatments to the drill.
The drill is designed for no-till conditions. Working width
is 30 or 35 feet. The drill has two or three separate
hydraulic circuits A lift circuit for transport and turns, and
a fold circuit for transport and weight transfer are
standard. The Fold circuit is shared with the cart’s auger.
If markers are installed, they are on a third circuit (which
may be shared with an air cart function).
