Important Safety Information
For your safety, thoroughly read Important Safety
Information in the operator’s manuals before proceed-
ing.
Look for Safety Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a
potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra
safety precaution must be taken. When you see this
symbol, be alert and carefully read the message that follows it. In addition to design and configuration of equipment, hazard control and accident prevention are
dependent upon the awareness, concern, prudence and
proper training of personnel involved in the operation,
transport, maintenance and storage of equipment.
Be Aware of Signal Words
Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard seriousness.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious
injury. This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations, typically for machine components that, for functional purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury, and includes hazards that are exposed when
guards are removed. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for drill is 20 mph (32 kph).
Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sudden
braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset.
▲ Do not exceed 20 mph (32 kph). Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and
stopping. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
▲ Comply with national, regional and local laws.
▲ Follow your tractor manual recommendations for maxi-
mum hitch loads. Insufficient weight on tractor steering
wheels will result in loss of control.
▲ Carry reflectors or flags to mark drill in case of breakdown
on the road.
▲ Keep clear of overhead power lines and other obstructions
when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under
“Specifications and Capacities” on page 38.
A
Check for Overhead Lines
Drill markers contacting overhead electrical lines can
introduce lethal voltage levels on drill and tractor
frames. A person touching almost any metal part can
complete the circuit to ground, resulting in serious injury
or death.
▲ Avoid overhead lines during seed loading/unloading and
marker operations.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury.
▲ Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnect-
ing hydraulic lines.
▲ Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to
check for suspected 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 may result.
195-068Q 12/09/2009
Practice Safe Maintenance
▲ Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper
tools and equipment. Refer to this manual for additional
information.
▲ Work in a clean, dry area.
▲ Put tractor in park, turn off engine, and remove key before
performing maintenance.
▲ Make sure all moving parts have stopped and all system
pressure is relieved.
▲ Disconnect battery ground cable (-) before servicing or
adjusting electrical systems or before welding on drill.
▲ Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition
and installed properly.
▲ Remove buildup of grease, oil or debris.
▲ Remove all tools and unused parts from drill before opera-
tion.
3
OFF
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be performed by trained personnel using correct tools and
equipment.
▲ When inflating tires, use a clip-on chuck and extension
hose long enough for you to stand to one side–not in front
of or over tire assembly. Use a safety cage if available.
▲ When removing and installing wheels, use wheel-handling
equipment adequate for weight involved.
Prepare for Emergencies
▲ Be prepared if a fire starts
▲ Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
▲ Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance, hospital
and fire department near phone.

195-068B Seed Rate Manual
Description of Unit
The 3S-3000HD is a towed seeding implement. This
three section drill has a working width of 30 feet
(12.2m). The drill has straight arm, double disk heavy
duty openers. The opener disks make a seed bed, and
seed tubes mounted between the disks place seed in
the furrow. Press wheels following the opener disks
close the furrow and gauge opener seeding depth. A Thandle on the opener body is for seeding depth adjustments. Seeding rates are adjustable with the seed rate
adjustment handle and sprocket changes.
The 3S-3000HD features active hydraulic down pressure on the opener frames. When used on a tractor
with closed-center hydraulics, constant down pressure
ensures even opener penetration in uneven ground.
Hydraulic down pressure is adjustable at a single
point.
Intended Usage
Use this implement to seed production-agriculture
crops in conventional or minimum tillage applications.

Setup
The assembly steps of the preceding chapter must be
completed prior to setup.
Setup steps consist of:
1. Hitch to suitable tractor.
2. Connect hydraulics.
3. Bleed hydraulics.
4. Level drill.
5. Install any options not factory-installed.
Hitching
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
between the tractor and drill. Do not stand or place any part
of your body between machines being hitched. Stop tractor
engine and set park brake before installing hitch pins.
This drill can have positive and negative tongue weight,
which can work the hitch pin loose during transport. To avoid
serious injury or death due to a road accident, always use a
clevis hitch or clevis drawbar with a locking-style hitch pin.
Choose a drill-hitch option that is compatible with your
tractor drawbar.
Refer to Figure 22
The 3S-3000HD has three hitch options:
• a clevis hitch,
• a small-hole, single-strap hitch or;
• a large-hole, single-strap hitch.
Use the clevis hitch with tractors that have single-tang
drawbars. Use the single-strap hitch for tractors with clevis drawbars. Always use a locking-style hitch pin sized
to match the holes in the hitch and drawbar.
Figure 22
Hitch Options
27006
195-068Q 12/09/2009
Refer to Figure 23 and Figure 24
To adjust the drill hitch to match your tractor-drawbar
height, mount tongue jack on side of tongue. Use jack to
raise drill tongue so lowest hitch hole is 18 inches
(45.7cm) above ground level with drill lowered to FIELD
position.
Refer to Figure 24
Bolt drill hitch onto drill tongue to match your tractordrawbar height. You can turn the hitch over for a total of
six different hitch heights. Always have two (2) bolts in
two holes of both tongue and hitch.
Note: When hitching drill to a different tractor, checkfor a
difference in drawbar heights. If heights are different, readjust hitch height accordingly.
Securely attach safety chain to an anchor on a tractor
capable of pulling the drill.

Hydraulic Hose Hookup
Only trained personnel should work on system hydraulics!
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.
Refer to Figure 28
To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit,
refer to plastic hose label. The hose under an
extended-cylinder symbol feeds a cylinder base end.
The hose under a retracted-cylinder symbol feeds a
cylinder rod end.
Great Plains hydraulic hoses are color coded to help
you hookup hoses to your tractor outlets.Hoses that go
to the same remote valve are marked with the same
color.

Bleeding Hydraulics
To function properly, the hydraulics must be free of air. If
hydraulics have not been bled, they will operate with
jerky, uneven motions and could cause wings to drop
rapidly during folding or unfolding. If hydraulics were not
bled during initial implement setup or if you replace a
part in hydraulic system during the life of the drill, complete the following procedures.
Escaping fluid under pressure can 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 suspected 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 may result.
Raising openers on unfolded, unhitched drill will cause drill
tongue to rise suddenly, which could cause serious injury or
death. Be certain that drill is hitched securely to your tractor
drawbar and the safety chain is securely attached to tractor
before raising openers and unfolding drill.
Bleed only at:
JIC (Joint Industry Conference, 37° flare) or
NPT (National Pipe Thread, tapered thread) fittings.
Never bleed at:
ORB (O-Ring Boss) or
QD (Quick Disconnect) fittings.
Check hydraulic fluid level in tractor reservoir and fill to
proper level. Add fluid to system as needed.
Note: System capacity for entire drill is about

Leveling the Drill
To perform leveling, the drill must be hitched to a tractor,
with at least the hydraulics connected.
Raising openers on unfolded, unhitched drill will cause drill
tongue to rise suddenly, which could cause serious injury or
death. Be certain that drill is hitched securely to your tractor
drawbar and the safety chain is securely attached to tractor
before raising openers and unfolding drill.
Center Box Frame Leveling
1. Park the drill on a clean level surface.
2. Raise the openers and lock them up. See “Raising

Acremeter Installation
Refer to Figure 44
The acremeter is supplied from the factory in a separate carton, to minimize risk of shipping damage. It is
installed on the left end of the center main drive shaft.
Screw the threaded end of the meter into the
tapped hole in the left end of center main drive shaft.
Tighten the threaded end only enough to prevent it from
working loose from normal vibration. In use, there is no
torque or tension that might tend to unscrew it.
The acremeter counts shaft rotations whenever the
shaft is rotating - normally this is only with the drill
unfolded, the opener sub-frame lowered, and the drill in
motion. The meter is geared to display rotations as
acres, when using factory-specified tires and inflations.
Tally field acres by noting the meter reading prior to, and
after planting. Subtract the starting from the ending
readings.
