pendix,” page 29.
Tractor Requirements
Your drill is designed and factory set for category III tractors.
Hitching Tractor to the Drill
Gauge-Wheel Adjustment
Gauge-wheel adjustments affect the operating height of
your drill, and drill height directly affects the working range
of the openers.The drill must be adjusted so your openers
can travel up and down and follow the ground contour.
Before using in the field, adjust your drill so the opener
mount tube runs 18 1/4 inches above ground. You likely
will need to make further adjustments later to compensate
for field conditions. Refer to Gauge-Wheel Adjustments,
“Adjustments,” page 11 for how to make gauge-wheel
adjustments.
Bleeding Marker Hydraulics
If you install or replace part of optional markers, you must
bleed air from the marker hydraulics. Your markers will not
fold properly with air in the hydraulic circuit.
WARNING!
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by
relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a
piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for
leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles
when working with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs, see
a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene will result.
DANGER!
Do not place any body part between the tractor and drill during
hitching.
1. Raise or lower the 3-point links as needed.
2. Install the lower hitch pins.
3. Pin the top link to the drill and adjust so it remains
loose in normal field conditions.
4. Check that all three-point links are securely pinned,
then slowly raise the drill. Watch for cab interference.
5. Unpin the parking stands as shown in Figure 1-1. Rotate the stands up into field position and repin.
12151
1. Be sure tractor hydraulic reservoir if full.
2. With the markers unfolded, crack the hydraulic hose
fittings at the base end of the cylinders. With your tractor at an idle speed, activate your tractor hydraulic
valve until oil seeps out around the hose ends. Retighten the fittings.
3. Repeat step 2 for the hose-end fittings at the rod end
of the cylinders.
4. Fold and unfold the markers slowly to work all the air
out of your marker hydraulics. Use caution when folding and unfolding the marker for the first time and
check for pinching and kinking of hoses.

information will lead to efficient operation and good working habits. Always operate farm machinery with safety in
mind.
Prestart Checklist
1. Carefully read “Important Safety Information,” page
1.
2. Lubricate the drill as indicated under Lubrication,
“Maintenance and Lubrication,” page 22.
3. Check all tires for proper inflation as indicated on Tire
Inflation Chart,“Appendix,” page 29.
4. Check all bolts, pins and fasteners. Torque as specified on Torque Values Chart,“Appendix,” page 29.
5. Check the drill for worn or damaged parts. Repair or
replace them before going to the field.
6. Check hydraulic hoses, fittings and cylinders for leaks.
Repair or replace them before going to the field.
7. Check disk scrapers for proper adjustment. Refer to
Disk Scraper Adjustment,“Adjustments,” page 19.
8. Rotate both gauge wheels to see that seed cups and
drive are working properly and free from foreign material.
Field Operation
CAUTION!
Do not allow anyone to ride on the drill.
1. Hitch the drill to a suitable tractor before filling the drill.
Refer to Tractor Requirements and Hitching Tractor to
Drill,“Preparation and Setup,” page 8. Adjust the top
link so it remains loose in normal drilling conditions.
2. Set and calibrate the seeding rate as explained under
Seeding Rate,“Adjustments,” page 12.
3. Load box with clean seed.
4. Record the acremeter readout. Subtract the initial
reading from later readings to determine acres drilled.
5. Check that the seed-cup-door handles are set the
same across the drill. Refer to Seeding Rate,“Adjust-
ments,” page 12.
NOTE: If you notice excessive cracking on large seeds,
adjust all seed-cup doors to a wider setting. Use the widest setting for seed-cup clean out only.
6. Lift the drill out of the ground when turning at end of
the field and for other short turns. Do not back up with
openers in ground. If you do, check all openers for
clogging.
Shaft Monitor Operation
To operate the optional shaft monitor, turn system on by
activating on-off switch on monitor head. If the seed-cup
shaft stops for 20 seconds or more, an alarm will sound
and the light on the monitor will flash.
The 20-second delay is to prevent nuisance alarms when
turning at the end of the field. If a failure does occur and
the alarm sounds, remember you have traveled for 30
seconds without planting.
Transporting
WARNING!
Never tow the drill faster than 20 mph.
You can transport the drill with a full box of grain, but it is
not recommended. The increased weight will make steering more difficult and increase the risk of road accidents.
To maintain steering control, you may need to add ballast
to your tractor front end. Refer to your tractor operator’s
manual for the amount of ballast required.
Before transporting the drill, check the following.
1. Check that all 3-point hitch links are securely pinned
to the tractor.
2. Comply with all federal, state and local laws when
traveling on public roads.
3. Remember that the drill is wider than the tractor. Always allow for drill clearance.
Transporting with Markers
Always transport the drill with the markers folded. Check
that the second marker section rests securely on the
transport carrier. If it does not, refer to Marker Adjust-
ments,“Adjustments,” page 19 for transport carrier ad-
justments.

Section 3 Adjustments
Section 3 Adjustments
Gauge-Wheel Adjustment
Gauge-wheel adjustments affect the operating height of
your drill, and drill height directly affects the working range
of the openers. The drill must be adjusted so your openers
can travel up and down and follow the ground contour. Initially adjust the gauge wheels so the bottom of the opener
mounting tube runs 18 1/4 inches above ground.
To adjust drill height:
1. Loosen the jam nut near the bottom clevis of each
gauge-wheel turnbuckle. Refer to Figure 3-1.
10548
Figure 3-2
Normal Spring Rod Setting, Drill Level
IMPORTANT: Do not use the links to adjust opener
depth. To achieve desired seeding depth, refer to Seed-
ing Depth, “Adjustments,” page 12.
10546
Figure 3-1
Gauge Wheel Turnbuckle
2. Bolt the upper clevis in the upper mounting hole.
3. Set the turnbuckle length. Turn the turnbuckle to
shorten or lengthen as necessary. Initially set the
length to 20 3/8 inches between pin centers to
achieve the 18 1/4-inch dimension mentioned above.
When adjusting the turnbuckle, remember:
•Lengthening the turnbuckle raises the drill and allows
less downward float of the openers.
•Shortening the turnbuckle lowers the drill and allows
less upward float of the openers.
NOTE: Remember that lowering the drillincreases the risk
of opener damage on rocks or obstructions.
4. After adjusting both turnbuckles, be certain they are
the same length, then tighten the jam nuts.
5. After setting the turnbuckles, level the drill with the top
hitch link. When the drill is level, the gap between the
spring-rod casting and the cross bolt will be about 2
inches. See Figure 3-2. This is a general dimension
that will vary with the amount of down pressure required for your planting conditions.
For some drill applications, you may want to equip your
drill with two spring-loaded links (part number 120-106A)
or a slotted link (part number 120-171A). Mount the links
in the top hole of the gauge wheel bracket as shown in Figure 3-3. You do not need to adjust the spring-loaded or
slotted links.

Adjusting Seeding Depth
Your drill is designed to run level to the ground when lowered into seeding position. You may need to make minor
adjustments to achieve desired seeding depth.
Press Wheels
Opener depth is controlled by the height of its press wheel.
Changing the height of the press wheel automatically
changes the seeding depth of the opener.
To adjust press-wheel height, lift up on the T-handle and
slide it forward or back. Refer to Figure 3-4.

Figure 3-4
Press Wheel Adjustment
Down-Pressure Springs
Each opener can be adjusted individually for increased or
decreased down pressure. Increased down pressure aids
opener penetration in hard soils and tire tracks. Decreased down pressure may prevent openers from plugging in wet soil.
To adjust opener down pressure, remove the W clip at the
bottom of the spring shown in Figure 3-5. Place the clip in
a higher spring-rod hole for increased pressure. Place the
clip in a lower hole for decreased pressure. If an opener is
running too deep at the lowest pressure setting, the W clip
can be removed completely.
Bedded Irrigation
If your drill is outfitted with the bedded irrigation option,
you can adjust the height of openers that run in irrigation
furrows.
When running the drill in a level field, mount the openers in
the top hole (1).
To lower the openers for irrigation furrows, move the opener pivot bolt (2) to a lower hole in the opener mount. Lowering the pivot bolt one hole lowers the opener body 2 1/2
inches.

Seeding Rate
Calibrating the seeding rate requires four steps: arranging
the drive sprockets, setting the seed-rate adjustment handle, positioning the seed-cup door, and checking the seeding rate.
Refer to the seed-rate charts starting on page 15. These
charts list the proper sprocket sizes and seed-rate-handle
settings for various seeds and seeding rates.
The seed-rate charts are based on cleaned, untreated
seed of average size and test weight. The rates are based
on 9.5L x 15 rib implement tires. Many factors will affect
seeding rates including foreign material, seed treatment,
seed size, field conditions, tire pressure and test weight.
Minor adjustments likely will be needed. Set and check the
seeding rate using the procedures below, then re-adjust
the rate as necessary.
Before setting the seeding rate, rotate the drive gauge
wheel to see that seed cups and drive are working properly and free from foreign material.

1. Change Drive Sprockets
Refer to the seed-rate charts for the correct drive
type–1, 1A, 2 or 2A. Figure 3-7 shows the sprocket arrangement for each drive type.
c. To change the jackshaft sprocket shown in Figure
3-9, remove the set screws and slide the sprockets so the correct-sized sprockets are aligned.
Reinsert set screws.

d. Shorten or lengthen chains as necessary and re-
install chains. Be sure chain is installed with the
chain connector link retainer towards the centerline and the clip opening (split end) is facing the
opposite way of the chain travel. Move the idler
arms into chains. See Figure 3-10 for correct
chain slack.

3. Position Seed-Cup Doors
For wheat and other small seeds. move the seed-cupdoor handles to the highest position. For soybeans
and other large seeds, lower the handles to the second position. If excessive seed cracking occurs, lower
the handles to the third position. Move the handles to
the fourth, wide-open position for seed-cup clean out.
Make sure all handles are in the same position before
drilling.

4. Check Seeding Rate
a. Record the weight of an empty container large
enough to hold the seed metered for one acre.
b. Place several pounds of seed over three seed
cups on an outside end of the drill box. Pull the
seed tubes off these three openers.
c. Raise the drill off the ground.
d. Turn the gauge wheel a few turns to fill the cups
with seed. Turn wheel until seed drops to the
ground from all three cups.
e. Place a container under the three seed tubes to
gather the seed as it is metered.
13867
f. Turn the drive gauge wheel until one acre has
been tallied on the acremeter (200 rotations on
a 27-foot drill or 182 rotations on a 30-foot drill).
Check that the three seed cups have plenty of
seed coming into them.
g. Weigh the metered seed. Subtract the initial
weight of the empty container. Divide by three
for the amount metered by each seed cup, then
multiply by the number of drill openers for the
pounds-per-acre seeding rate. If this figure is
different than desired, adjust the seed-rate handle and recheck the rate.
NOTE: If your results vary greatly from the charts, you
may want to repeat the calibration procedure.
When satisfied with the rate, set the same seeding rate
on the opposite drill box by repeating steps 1 through 3.
Small Seeds Attachment
To calibrate the seeding rate on the optional small seeds
attachment, follow these steps.
1. Refer to Figure 3-13 for the proper small-seeds
sprocket arrangement given different drive types on
the main drill box. Arrange the sprockets on the
small-seeds attachment according to which drive
type you will use on the main drill box.
NOTE: For accurate metering on the small seeds attachment, the main drill box sprockets must be set to
drive type 1, 2 or 2A.
2. Set the seed-rate adjustment handle on the small
seeds attachment as indicated by the chart on
Small Seeds Attachment Seed Rate Chart, page
17.
3. Calibrate the small seeds attachment to your material by following the steps under Check Seeding
Rate, page 14.

Marker Adjustments
Chain Adjustment
There are two chain adjustments. These adjustments are
interrelated and should be done in the following order. Refer to Figure 3-14.
1. Lifting Slack. Start with the marker unfolded. Back the
full-threaded adjustment bolt (1) down until the head
extends as little as possible. Slowly fold the marker, observing the motion of the disk. If the disk slides across
the ground more than about a foot before the chain and
linkage lifts it up, the chain is too long. Shorten the
chain by moving the clevis (2) in one or two links. Check
the adjustment by repeating the folding process.
If the chain is too short when the marker is unfolded, it
will prevent the end of the marker from dropping into
field depressions. Correctthis condition by moving the
clevis (2) one or two links toward the end of the chain
to make it longer.
2. Folding Slack. After completing the adjustment in step
one, fold the marker. Extend the full-threaded adjustment bolt (1) until the slack is out of the chain. Lock the
bolt in this position by tightening the nuts (3) on either
side of upright channel (4).
Disk Adjustment
The field mark left by the marker disk may be changed by
adjusting disk angle or direction of cut.
Disk Angle. Refer to Figure 3-15. To change the angle of
cut loosen the two 1/2-inch bolts holding the disk assembly. Rotate the disk assembly as desired.
11757
Figure 3-15
Disk Angle
Direction of Cut. The disk may be mounted to throw dirt in
or out for different marks in different soil conditions. Refer
to Figure 3-16. To change the direction of cut:
1. Reverse the disk by removing the four lug bolts on the
disk hub. Remount the depth band and lug bolts.
2. Turn the entire disk assembly by removing the two 1/2inch bolts and turning the assembly one-half turn. Reinstall the 1/2-inch bolts and set the disk angle as desired.

Section 3 Adjustments
Speed Adjustment
The markers are equipped with hex-head screws for adjusting folding speed. The screws are on the sequencevalve body as shown in Figure 3-17. There are two
screws–one for folding speed (1), the other for unfolding
speed (2). Turn the adjustment screws clockwise for slower folding or counterclockwise for faster folding. Adjust to a
safe speed. Excessive speed could damage the markers
and void the warranty.

tions vary, you may need to adjust the scrapers. In damp
conditions, the scrapers may need to be lowered. If openers are not turning freely, the scrapers may need to be
raised. To adjust scrapers, loosen the 3/8-inch bolt and
move scraper as needed.

Seed-Lok™
The optional Seed-Lok™ firming wheels provide additional
seed-to-soil contact. The wheels are spring loaded and do
not require adjusting. In some wet and sticky conditions
the wheels may accumulate soil. Remove or install the
wheels as field conditions warrant.
Disk Scraper Adjustment
To keep the double-disk openers turning freely, dirt scrapers are mounted between the disks to clean as the disks
rotate. A scraper is shown in Figure 3-18. As field condi-

General Maintenance
Proper servicing and adjustment is the key to long implement life. With careful and systematic inspection, you can
avoid costly maintenance, downtime and repair.
Always turn off and remove the tractor key before making
any adjustments or performing maintenance. Securely
block raised drill before working under or around it.
1. After using your drill for several hours, check all bolts
to be sure they are tight. Periodically check and secure all bolts, pins and fasteners. Tighten as specified
on Torque Values Chart,“Appendix,” page 29.
2. Clean or replace any fittings that will not take grease.
Lubricate the drill as noted under Lubrication, this
page.
3. Adjust idlers to remove excess slack from chains.
Clean and use chain lube on all roller chains as needed.
4. Always maintain correct tire pressure. Refer to Tire In-
flation Chart,“Appendix,” page 29.
5. Check disk scrapers for proper adjustment. Refer to
Disk Scraper Adjustment,“Adjustments,” page 19.
6. Replace any worn, damaged or illegible safety decals
at once. Refer to Safety Decals,“Important Safety In-
formation,” page 4, for correct decal placement. Obtain new decals from your Great Plains dealer.
Marker Maintenance
Under normal conditions, the disk hub bearings need to be
repacked every 2 or 3 years. If the grease seal cap is damaged or missing, disassemble and clean the hub. Repack
with grease and install a new seal or grease cap.
Storage
Store the drill where children do not play. If possible, store
the drill inside for longer life.
1. Clean the drill as necessary. Be sure the seed boxes
are cleaned completely before storing.
2. Adjust and oil all roller chains. Lubricate the drill at all
points indicated under Lubrication, this page.
IMPORTANT: Be sure the seed-cup drive sprocket is
oiled before the drill is stored. Squirt oil onto the
square seed-cup shaft and move adjustment handle
to get the oil into the square.
3. Check all bolts, pins, fitting and hoses. Tighten, repair
or replace parts as needed.
4. Check all moving and soil-contact parts for wear or
damage. Make notes of any parts needing repair.
