Introduction
Great Plains welcomes you to its growing family of
new product owners. This drill has been designed
with care and built by skilled workers using quality
materials. Proper setup, maintenance and safe
operating practices will help you get years of satis-
factory use from the machine.
Description of Unit
The 706/1006NT Drill is a grain drill of end wheel
design which couples Great Plains spring mount-
ed coulter with a straight arm design of our solid
stand opener to achieve no-till drilling capabilities.
The end wheel design keeps the ground-working
components in line with the end wheels for accu-
rate coulter depth and seed placement over
uneven terrain and allows the unit to follow field
curves without side-loading the openers.
Intended Usage
This machine is intended to be used primarily for
No-Till drilling. It can easily be adapted for conven-
tional drilling applications.
