Description of Unit
The 3S-3000HD is a towed seeding implement. This
three section drill has a working width of 30 feet
(12.2m). 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 adjust-
ments. Seeding rates are adjustable with the seed rate
adjustment handle and sprocket changes.
The 3S-3000HD 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.
