Description of Unit
The Precision 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. The coulters till strips for the drill open-
ers. The hitch has two hydraulic circuits: one for raising
and lowering the coulters and one for raising and lowering
the drill.
The hitch can be outfitted with fertilizer coulters, a drive
system, a piston pump and tanks for liquid-fertilizer appli-
cation. With coulters set at various spacings, the hitch can
be used to apply fertilizer in the row below the seedbed at
rates from 4 to 80 gallons per acre. Total combined tank
capacity is 400 gallons.
Models Covered

Intended Usage
Use this hitch to apply approved liquid fertilizer to produc-
tion-agriculture crops. Use this hitch in conjunction with

fied by Great Plains.
