Great Plains offers several different hitch options for added versatility. These include the Center Pivot Hitch, Precision Fertilizer Hitch, Sub-Soiler Hitch, and Pull Hitch.

The Center Pivot Hitch (CPH) is designed to turn basic 3-point drills into fully-featured no-till drills, complete with hydraulic depth-adjustable coulters. The drill can either be rigid or float, fore and aft, independently of the hitch.

Coulter height is independent of seeding depth.

Originally designed for the rigors of sub-soiling, the Great Plains Sub-Soiler Hitch is quite capable as a tough 3-point pull package. The SSH can turn a 3-point drill or other 3-point implement into a pull-type machine, no longer requiring the normal hassle of hooking and unhooking to the tractor’s 3-point hitch.

The Great Plains Pull Hitch offers an economical way to turn a 3-point drill into a pull-type machine, with a single hydraulic cylinder to lift the machine. These are available in either single or double gauge wheel models.

Features may include:

This design features a pivot halfway between the rigid 450 lb. preloaded coulter and double-disc opener. It works like an articulated 4-wheel drive tractor, with the rear opener track following the front coulter track precisely! There is no drifting on side hills or cutting corners on curves – just perfect tracking and seed placement, all the time.

The heavy-duty rockshaft system features automatic pivot locks that engage when raised fully to the transport position. It provides plenty of lift capacity to pick up a full planting unit and onboard fertilizer and improves the lift speed.

Weight can be transferred hydraulically from the tractor to the coulter bar to ensure consistent, proper coulter depth.

Choose between a wide ¾" wavy blade, a 5/8" Turbo coulter blade that is aggressive and prepares a mini seedbed ahead of the opener, or a 5/16" fluted coulter blade that penetrates easily (CPH).

Spring steel fertilizer tines with stainless steel nozzles run directly behind the coulters for excellent placement of liquid fertilizer.

Shock absorbers mounted at the pivot between the tongue and frame stabilize the hitch, creating smooth field turns that reduce wear and improving the seed placement consistency of the attached drill or planter.
