Description of Unit
The 3S-4000HD is a towed seeding implement. This
three section drill has a working width of 40 feet (12.2m).
The drill has straight arm, double disk heavy duty open-
ers. 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 han-
dle and sprocket changes.
The 3S-4000HD features active hydraulic down pres-
sure 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.
