16-Row Yield-Pro® Planters
The Yield-Pro® 1630F from Great Plains is a 16-Row Planter that combines the efficiency of one-step bulk dry fertilizer application and 30" row spacing. It utilizes a single 100-bushel poly hopper to hold dry fertilizer and our field-proven air drill metering system that accurately delivers fertilizer to every row.
The ground-driven fertilizer delivery system incorporates star wheel meters and a Zero-Max Gearbox to make fine-tuning fertilizer rates simple and easy. Seeding is also driven with a ground drive wheel on each planter section. Each row holds a 2-bushel seed hopper for a total capacity of 32 bushel. An optional 1-bushel insecticide hopper can also be added. A DICKEY-john® PM 400 monitors seed flow and includes blockage monitoring on each fertilizer tower hose.
The row unit is a 30 Series Opener with double-v closing wheels. The double disk opener features a 15" diameter 4mm thick blade, 205 triple-lip-sealed bearing, and 1/2" leading opener blade.
The YP-1630F is designed with a robust 30' working width, but folds to a narrow 12'6" without insecticide or 13'4" with insecticide for safe and easy road travel.
The YP-1630F Planter’s design and expanded features deliver on the special requests and specifications of the Great Plains customer.
