Description of Unit
The 3P1006NT is a towed seeding implement. This drill
has a working width of 10 feet (2.9 m). The drill has
straight arm, double disc 06 Series openers. The opener
discs make a seed bed, and seed tubes mounted
between the discs place seed in the furrow. Press wheels
following the opener discs close the furrow and gauge
opener seeding depth. A T-handle on the opener body
makes seeding depth adjustments.
The metering system is driven from one or both forward
gauge wheels. Seeding rates are set by rate adjustment
handles and a Drive Type gear box for a main seed box.
Native Grass rates are set by sprocket selection.
