Description of Unit
The 3S-4000HD and 3S-4000HDF is a towed seeding
implement. This three section drill has a working width of
40 feet (12.2 m). The drill has straight arm, double disk
heavy duty openers. The opener disks make a seed bed,
and seed tubes mounted between the disks place seed
in the furrow. Press wheels following the opener disks
close the furrow and gauge opener seeding depth. A
T-handle on the opener body is for seeding depth
adjustments. Seeding rates are adjustable with the seed
rate adjustment handle and sprocket changes.
The 3S-4000HD/HDF features active hydraulic down
pressure on the opener frames. When used on a tractor
with closed-center hydraulics, constant down pressure
ensures even opener penetration in uneven ground.
Hydraulic down pressure is adjustable at a single point.
Intended Usage
Use this implement to seed production-agriculture crops
in conventional or minimum tillage applications.
