Description of Unit
The CP1000 is a pull-type seeding implement. The imple-
ment consists of a three-point drill mounted on a centre-
pivot hitch. The hitch and drill are integrally connected.
No-till coulters are mounted on the hitch to zone-till strips
for seed furrows. Straight-arm openers on the drill prepare
seedbeds and place the seed. The pivoting action of the
hitch helps drill openers track the coulters. A contract-
drive tire on the drill powers seeding off a hitch tire. The
tongue cylinder controls coulter depth and transport cylin-
ders raise the drill for turns and transport.
Intended Usage
Use this implement for seeding production-agriculture
crops only. Do not modify implement for use with attach-
ments other than those specified by Great Plains. Use
implement in no or minimum tillage.
