Description of Unit
The 3S-3000HD 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. 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-3000HD 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.
