Description of Unit
The two-section folding no-till drill is a towed seeding im-
plement for no- or minimum-till soil conditions. The drill is
equipped with two hydraulic circuits. One is used to raise
and lower the drill for field operations. A separate electro-
hydraulic circuit lifts, locks and folds the implement for
transport. An in-cab control console allows the operator to
switch between functions on the electro-hydraulic circuit.
The drill is outfitted with coulters and double-disk openers.
The openers are mounted on parallel arms. Press wheels
follow the opener disks to firm the seedbed and control
seeding depth.
Intended Usage
This machine is intended for use in minimum- or no-till ap-
plications.
