SETTING THE<br />

PACE THROUGH<br />

INNOVATION.<br />

The complexity of today’s farming operation requires you<br />

to rethink your tillage practices. In many cases, Vertical<br />

Tillage has been the ideal solution for operators to take crop<br />

yields and productivity to the next level. At the same time,<br />

many operations rely heavily on proven Conventional Tillage<br />

practices to maintain profitability season after season. Either<br />

way, <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Plains</strong> has innovative tillage products engineered<br />

to deliver to your bottom line.<br />

We would like to personally thank you for considering our<br />

broad line of Tillage Systems. We look forward to putting our<br />

innovation to work in your operation.<br />

VERTICAL <strong>TILLAGE</strong><br />

Why Vertical Tillage?<br />

• Horizontal tillage leaves density change layers in the soil.<br />

• Roots in a top, lower density layer are turned sideways<br />

when a higher density layer is encountered.<br />

• Vertical tillage leaves a uniform, unrestricted soil profile<br />

that promotes maximum root development.<br />

• Plants raised in a vertical tillage system are more drought<br />

resistant, reach and utilize more nutrients, and have greater<br />

standability due to healthier stalks and root systems.<br />

• Vertical tillage INCREASES YIELDS!<br />

The Series II Turbo-Till builds<br />

on the solid reputation of the<br />

original Turbo-Till as the most<br />

versatile vertical tillage tool<br />

available. It utilizes two ranks of<br />

our exclusive turbo coulters<br />

to aggressively chop residue<br />

without hairpinning. Turbo-Till<br />

effectively manages residue and<br />

reduces compaction in a wide<br />

range of conditions, providing<br />

a consistent well prepared<br />

seedbed for planting.<br />

Improvements to the Series<br />

II include 3 inch C-shank<br />

standards and heavy-duty<br />

rubber mounted gang bearings<br />

as standard equipment. New<br />

12, 15, 18 and 24 foot working<br />

widths have been added to<br />

the 30 and 40 foot models to<br />

better fit available horsepower.<br />

Current uses include warming<br />

and drying cool wet soils,<br />

incorporating animal waste<br />

and preparing a consistent well<br />

prepared seed bed for planting.<br />

Turbo-Till is also an excellent<br />

fall tool to size and incorporate<br />

residue to begin the decay<br />

process.<br />

Tillage Pass Planter Pass<br />

TURBO-TILL - Turbo Coulters<br />

weed removal, enhanced residue sizing, and<br />

unsurpassed residue coverage while continuing<br />

to work in the vertical plain. Staying vertical in<br />

all aspects of operation makes Turbo-Max truly<br />

unique in the industry today. Most farmers have<br />

understood the benefits of True Vertical Tillage<br />

for several years, but have needed to address<br />

uneven fields caused by sprayer, combine, or<br />

grain cart tracks, and better residue cover to<br />

help eliminate wind erosion of the residue.<br />

Turbo-Max with its 7 1/2’’ blade spacing<br />

and adjustable gang angle from 0° to 6°<br />

provides the answer to the concerns of today’s<br />

The Conventional<br />

Way of Doing Things<br />

Every farming operation has different and<br />

diverse needs, and at times, traditional<br />

tillage equipment is the best solution. We<br />

have focused our conventional tillage line<br />

around dependability.<br />

Disk Harrow incorporates features such<br />

as hydraulic leveling, tension nuts on each<br />

end of the gang bolts, and heavy duty<br />

“C” shanks with rubber mounted cast<br />

bearings. These key features are just a few<br />

examples of benefits that provide the user<br />

with the best performing, most reliable<br />

disk in the industry.<br />

Our secondary and finish tools include<br />

the versatile Disc-O-Vator and Field<br />

Cultivator. Both feature the Max-Mix Shank<br />

pattern. This exclusive pattern ensures<br />

that no shank is closer than 28” on a<br />

individual bar. Soil is moved one direction<br />

and then is returned providing excellent<br />

trash distribution and superior herbicide<br />

incorporation.<br />

The Disc-O-Vator also utilizes a single<br />

row of low-concavity disc blades or the<br />

exclusive Turbo Coulter. The Turbo Coulter<br />

allows the tool to operate in higher residue<br />

situations, and at higher speeds sizing the<br />

trash for better flow through the shanks.<br />

Our finishing tools include the Seedbed<br />

Conditioner. This tool crumbles clods and<br />

firms the seedbed, making it a perfect<br />

planting environment.<br />

The <strong>Plains</strong> Plow is a specialty tool, aimed<br />

at wheat producing states to kill weeds<br />

while leaving the stubble on the surface.<br />

Every <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Plains</strong> conventional tillage tool<br />

is field proven and has the reputation of<br />

being at the “top of their class”.

Disk Wizard<br />

With the introduction of the 3000 and 4000<br />

Series Disk Harrows, <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Plains</strong> not only becomes<br />

a full-line tillage equipment company,<br />

but provides all the key ingredients<br />

customers demand from a top-of-the-line disk<br />

harrow. Six models, which range in cutting<br />

width from 23 to 36 feet in 3-foot increments,<br />

promise reliability; superior cutting ability; optimum<br />

weight per blade, and a level, finished<br />

surface.<br />

The double offset disk harrow is still one of the<br />

most efficient ways to mechanically eliminate<br />

weeds and re-level rutted harvest fields. Like<br />

anything though, the best results come from a<br />

product that was designed for the job.<br />

To that end, the 3000 and 4000 Series disk<br />

harrows feature 6-gauge disc blades; a<br />

20-degree angle on the front gangs and an<br />

18-degree angle on rear gangs; spring “C”<br />

shank bearing standards, and wings that flex<br />

up 14 degrees and down 9 degrees to handle<br />

terraces and rolling terrain. Service and reliability<br />

also receive top billing with features like<br />

1 3/4” gang shafts capped with castle nuts on<br />

both ends for quick disassembly and blade or<br />

bearing replacement. Heavy-duty, cast rubberencased<br />

bearings are also standard to ensure<br />

machine durability and a longer service life.

HEAVIER SPOOLS - The ductile cast spools used on the <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Plains</strong> disk are among<br />

the heaviest in the industry. At 23.55 pounds they put more weight closer to the<br />

ground. The result is better penetration, plus longer bearing and standard life.<br />

Ductile cast spools also resist breakage and collapsing compared to steel pipe<br />

style spacers. These spools are a full 6.5 inches in diameter, as much as 1 inch<br />

larger than some competitors. This gives more support to the center of the blade<br />

reducing blade breakage.<br />

were made to the 8000<br />

Series Field Cultivator to<br />

make a good unit even better!<br />

Shank spacing throughout the<br />

machine especially around tires<br />

has been improved, ensuring<br />

no shanks are closer than 28”.<br />

The hinges and fold system<br />

have also been, “Beefed Up”<br />

Seedbed<br />

Perfection<br />

Add a <strong>Great</strong> <strong>Plains</strong> Precision Seedbed<br />

Conditioner to your present finishing tool and<br />

prepare the perfect seedbed. Firm the soil,<br />

reduce air pockets, incorporate chemicals,<br />

break up surface clods, knock soil off the root<br />

crowns and prevent wind and water erosion.<br />

Create a one-pass unmatched seedbed<br />

that places the finer particles of soil in the<br />

planting zone, which will allow perfect seed<br />

to soil contact and will boost the emergence<br />

of your crop. All reel sections overlap for<br />

superior finish and no streaking. Unmatched<br />

flexibility, wings flex up and down 15°,<br />

allowing the conditioner to follow the contour<br />

of the ground.<br />

• Optional hydraulic weight transfer assures<br />

even weight on all sections in rolling terrain.<br />

• One hydraulic circuit to control lift and<br />

fold as well as weight transfer for ease of<br />

operation.<br />

• Adjustable hitch length to match the host<br />

machine for optimal turning radius.<br />

• Triple lip sealed bearing with 1 1/2” round<br />

gang shafts on every section.<br />

• Heavy duty design offers up to 150 lbs. of<br />

weight per foot for increased clod and root<br />

ball breakage.

Liquid Application<br />

Not only are producers looking for “Pre-Apply”<br />

bars, they are also looking for bars that can<br />

double for side dress. Many producers would like<br />

to pre-apply their nitrogen, then precision plant<br />

over the top with RTK.<br />

Nutri-Pro offers a new approach to these<br />

challenges and is once again “Setting the Pace<br />

Through Innovation.” A totally new approach<br />

to fertilizer is the 3-coulter option with a row<br />

cleaner. This option allows the producer to preapply<br />

liquid fertilizer prior to planting, do mild<br />

tillage in the row and clear the residue with a row<br />

cleaner. The result...precision placed fertilizer in<br />

a clean, warm, fast emerging seedbed for the<br />

planter to precisely plant the seed. Nutri-Pro is<br />

available semi-mounted with lift assist wheels<br />

with hydraulic weight transfer to the wings to<br />

follow the most challenging terrain.<br />

Whether you are single row or Twin-Row,<br />

Nutri-Pro puts your fertilizer, “ON TARGET” to<br />

reduce cost and maximize yield.

FEATURES<br />

& BENEFITS<br />

DISTRIBUTOR TOWERS - The S.S. manifold insures that<br />

the same amount of NH 3 given to each row. All hoses<br />

are the same length as well.<br />

SUPER COOLER - Single or double super coolers are<br />

available depending on the rate of “N” required and<br />

the temperature and ground speed.<br />

REAR HITCH - (Optional) A cushioned rear hitch is<br />

available to absorb shock loads when pulling large<br />

liquid or anhydrous tanks. It can also be released to<br />

allow for easier alignment and hookup.<br />

SPIDER SEALER - While these are 3 choices of closers<br />

(sealers), the new spider closers handle heavy residue<br />

very well and firm the soil over the gas to provide<br />

excellent sealing.<br />

Anhydrous Application<br />

Anhydrous is still a popular<br />

form of nitrogen, but more and<br />

more producers are looking for<br />

a way to improve the efficiency<br />

of their nitrogen. Nutri-Pro<br />

can not only be set up as a<br />

pull-type unit, but can also be<br />

semi-mounted with lift assist for<br />

precision placement with RTK.<br />

a concern that can be put to<br />

rest with one of three choices of<br />

sealers. Choose from double disk,<br />

basket, or the all new, “Spider<br />

Wheel” closers. A cushioned rear<br />

hitch is available to pull a tank.
