Description of Unit
The NTA 2000D is a pull-type seeding implement. The
implement has No-till coulters and openers intricately con-
nected on a center pivot. No-till coulters mounted on the
front frame zone-till strips for seed furrows. Straight-arm
openers on the rear frame prepare seedbeds and place
the seed. The pivoting action of the frames allows drill
openers to track the coulters. A contact-drive tire powers
the seed meter from a transport tire. The tongue cylinder
and transport tires control the coulter and opener depth.
Transport cylinders raise the drill for turns and transport.
Intended Usage
Use this implement for seeding production-agriculture
crops only. Do not modify implement for use with attach-
ments other than those specified by Great Plains. Use
