Description of Unit
The 3S-3000/F/HD/HDF is a towed seeding implement.
This three section drill has a working width of 30 feet
(9.1m). 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.
The 3S-3000/F/HD/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.
The 3S-3000F and 3S-3000HDF allow you to drill seed
and apply fertilizer in the same field pass. Dividers
partition the drill boxes into seed and fertilizer
compartments. The openers apply dry fertilizer to the
seed trench before the furrow is closed. You also can use
both compartments for seed.
Intended Usage
Use this implement to seed production-agriculture crops
in conventional or minimum tillage applications. Do not
modify the drill for use with attachments other than Great
Plains options and accessories specified for use with the
3S-3000 Drill.
