Great Plains Field Cultivator Air Drill
The new Field Cultivator Air Drill from Great Plains is a high-productivity solution for High Plains farmers who plant large acreages with a conventional tillage system. By combining a Great Plains Field Cultivator with proven, reliable Great Plains 00 Series Drill Openers, this unique machine allows operators to till and seed at the same time with the same tool, eliminating the need for an extra man and tractor during the seeding process.
This combination of tillage and seeding operations sets the Field Cultivator Air Drill apart from other air drill products, as seed is directly placed into moist, freshly-tilled soil for quick, uniform emergence.
The Field Cultivator Air Drill’s base design is an 8544 Great Plains Field Cultivator, featuring the Max-Mix™ shank pattern. On an effective 7-inch spacing, the Max-Mix pattern, followed by a seedbed conditioner reel, creates the perfect seedbed while eliminating weeds and uniformly mixing soil, residue, and fertilizer (if applying). Great Plains’ exclusive 00 Series openers then accomplish optimum seed-to-soil contact. The implement couples to a large-capacity air cart for uniform delivery of seed and fertilizer.
Save time and money – both in fuel savings and depreciation hours on the tractor – with this productive tillage and seeding combination!

On an effective 7" spacing, the Max-Mix shank pattern creates the perfect seedbed by eliminating weeds and uniformly mixing soil, residue, and fertilizer (if applying) for even distribution. |
|
The Cultivator Air Drill implement couples to a 350 bu., 2-bin air cart for reliable, uniform delivery of seed and fertilizer to the implement. Air drill cart sold separately. |
|
Hydraulically transfers the weight from the center section of the machine to the wings for even seeding depth across the entire drill. |
|
The single-pole floating hitch allows enhanced flexibility for consistent cultivation, regardless of terrain. It also permits tighter turns without interference with the tractor. |
|
Following the sweeps, a 12" finishing reel firms the soil ahead of the openers to create an excellent seedbed. |
|
This highly-productive implement combines tillage and seeding to reduce time, fuel, and tractor depreciation hours. |
|
The heavy-duty K-flex shank has 185 lbs. of point trip force. The spring-loaded magnum shank has 205 lbs. of point trip force. Both shank styles are available in minimum draft or flat lower shanks. Sweeps are 11" wings with hard surfacing. |

Proven, reliable Great Plains 00 Series openers provide perfect seed-to-soil contact and quick, uniform emergence by precisely placing seed in moist, freshly-tilled soil. |
