Great Plains Hitches
The Center Pivot Hitch (CPH) is designed to turn basic 3-point drills into fully-featured no-till drills, complete with hydraulic depth-adjustable coulters. The drill can either be rigid or float, fore and aft, independently of the hitch.
Take no-till seeding to the next level with a Precision Hitch (PH) or Precision Fertilizer Hitch (PFH)! The PFH uses 400 gallons of fertilizer and a highly accurate fertilizer pump (fertilizer system optional). Coulter height is independent of seeding depth.
Originally designed for the rigors of sub-soiling, the Great Plains Sub-Soiler Hitch is quite capable as a tough 3-point pull package. The SSH can turn a 3-point drill or other 3-point implement into a pull-type machine, no longer requiring the normal hassle of hooking and unhooking to the tractor’s 3-point hitch. The rugged design allows it to handle equipment up to 15,000 lbs. An optional 300-gallon fertilizer tank is available.
The Great Plains Pull Hitch offers an economical way to turn a 3-point drill into a pull-type machine, with a single hydraulic cylinder to lift the machine. These are available in either single or double gauge wheel models.
Features
Center pivot design (CPH & PFH)
This design features a pivot halfway between the rigid 450 lb. preloaded coulter and double-disc opener. It works like an articulated 4-wheel drive tractor, with the rear opener track following the front coulter track precisely! There is no drifting on side hills or cutting corners on curves – just perfect tracking and seed placement, all the time.
Rockshaft lift (PFH)
The heavy-duty rockshaft system features automatic pivot locks that engage when raised fully to the transport position. It provides plenty of lift capacity to pick up a full planting unit and onboard fertilizer and improves the lift speed.
Weight transfer/built-in weight bracket (CPH & PFH
Weight can be transferred hydraulically from the tractor to the coulter bar to ensure consistent, proper coulter depth. If more weight is needed, add up to 2,000 lbs. to the built-in mainframe weight bracket (optional on PH & PFH).
Coulter choiches (CPH & PFH)
Choose between a wide ¾" wavy blade, a 5/8" Turbo coulter blade that is aggressive and prepares a mini seedbed ahead of the opener, or a 5/16" fluted coulter blade that penetrates easily (CPH).
Fertilizer tines (PFH)
Spring steel fertilizer tines with stainless steel nozzles run directly behind the coulters for excellent placement of liquid fertilizer.
Pivot stabilizer (CPH & PFH)
Shock absorbers mounted at the pivot between the tongue and frame stabilize the hitch, creating smooth field turns that reduce wear and improving the seed placement consistency of the attached drill or planter.
Optional piston pump (PFH)
The ground driven piston pump provides accurate application rates. Rate changes can be made quickly and easily.
Optional flat-fold markers (CPH & PFH)
Heavy-duty no-till markers are engineered with the structural integrity and weight needed to penetrate no-till soils and residue.
