Precision Disk 500 Air Drill Highlights
- Tow-between or tow-behind configurations
- Split front and rear ranks to allow single rank seeding
- Easily folds for transportability
- In-Cab down pressure control
Transport & Flotation
Transport
- The vertical fold design allows for lowest transport height in the industry as well as narrow transport widths
- The 25 ft & 30 ft Precision Disk Drills also utilize a wing lock for safe transport
- To fold or unfold the tool, a single remote lever in the tractor is used
- While transporting or pulling in/out of a field, the ground clearance of the openers is 8.5 in
- The wide profile of the transport wheels provide the stability to move the disk drill confidently, even at higher roading speeds
- Maximum transport speed should not exceed 20 mph
Standard Flotation
- Stubble resistant tires at all locations
- 12 total wheels
- Front of mainframe- 12/5L x 15 dual on castoring rigid axles
- Front and rear of each wing --12.5L x 15 single wheel (front on caster)
- Rear of mainframe--18L x 16.1 dual wheels on rigid axles
High Flotation
- Stubble resistant tires at all locations
- 16 total wheels
- Front of mainframe--12.5L x 15 dual on castoring walking tandem axles
- Front and rear of each wing--12.5L x 15 duals on walking beam axles (front on castor)
- Rear of mainframe 18L x 16.1 dual wheels on walking beam axles
Tow-Behind or Tow-Between, It's Up to You
Front Hitch
- The front pull hitch is a floating style hitch
- Allows the disk drill to float up and down, independently from the tractor and hitch
- Improves ground following and seed depth control because the hitch will not raise or lower the front of the tool when the tractor rides over a hill or an obstacle
Rear Hitch
- A rear hitch is available to hook up any tow-behind air cart
- The rear hitch is designed to ensure a tight implement turning radius and follow the tracks created by the tractor during transport
- Provides enough room to allow the drill frame to be folded into the transport position without disconnecting the air system
- A rear hitch package is available to provide the needed hydraulic and eletronic power to the Tow-Behind air cart
- Lights and ISOBUS connection
Hitch Clevis
- A strong cast Cat IV clevis
- For secure hitching, this type of hitch requires a 2" hitch pin
Rear Hitch Caddy
- When utilizing a Tow-Between air cart a convenient rear hitch can also be added to the drill to tow other caddies
