Product Description
5' & 6' Mounted Min-Till Compact Drills

Designed for tight areas where big drills simply don’t fit, these 5' (1.52m) and 6' (1.83m) Min-Till Drills from Great Plains are ideal for seeding food plots, orchards, and vineyards. Offered with ground-driven meters, they are excellent for seeding into both fully prepared seedbeds or minimum tillage plots.

The 3P500 and 3P600 feature 4-speed gearboxes for fast seed rate changes. Seed box capacity ranges from 8.5 bushel to 12 bushel (300-423L), depending on model. By adding an optional small seeds box to the 3P500 or 3P600 models, two different seeds can be planted at the same time.

All models are equipped with rugged 00 Series Openers, which provide accurate and consistent seed placement. 00 Openers have 7" (18cm) of stagger, allowing residue to easily flow through the unit. Inside the opener, the full length seed tube gently guides the seed all the way to the bottom of the trench while the seed flap ensures the seed stays in place, eliminating the “seed bounce” experienced with competitive drills. The trailing press wheels maintain proper opener depth, close the seed trench, and firm the seed into the soil. T-handles quickly adjust the press wheels and allow for small incremental changes in planting depth.

Other features found on these models include a highly visible seed level indicator, reliably accurate fluted feed cups, and V-bottom inserts in the bottom of the seed box that enhance seed flow to the meters. Seed calibration is easy with the convenient calibration crank, and watertight lids stay open for easy filling, while splash guards on the small seeds box prevent seed loss.
