Important Safety Information
For your safety, thoroughly read “Important Safety
Information” in the 6’ No-Till Drill operator’s
manual.
Safety Rules
Most accidents are the result of negligence, carelessness or failure to follow safety precautions.
Although your implement is designed with many
built-in safety features, safety precautions are
mandatory to prevent accidents.
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.

Introduction
Great Plains Manufacturing wants you to be satisfied with any new machine delivered by the Great
Plains Trucking network. To ease the assembly
task and produce a properly working machine,
read this entire manual before assembling or setting up new equipment.
Description of Unit
The 605NT and 606NT are a 6 foot pull-type
seeding implement, designed for no-till conditions. Coulters mounted on the drill frame cut
channels for the opener disks. The opener disks
clear away crop residue and open a seed trench.
Seed tubes between the opener disks place seed
in the trench, and press wheels firm soil over the
seed. The press wheels also gauge opener depth.
Intended Usage
Use this drill to seed grasses or production-agriculture crops or to seed over existing grass
stands.
