25 Series Row Units
Refer to Figure 65 (which depicts a row unit fully
populated with all optional accessories supported for use
with the 3PYP planter)
All row-unit components are unit-mounted.
The 3PYP does not support frame-mounted
components other than the row unit itself.
From front to back, a Great Plains 25 Series row unit can
include the following capabilities (some optional):
Certain Machine Damage:
Do not back up with row units in the ground. To do so will
cause severe damage and row unit plugging.
Row Unit Lock-Up: (standard, pin not shown)
In twin-row configurations, the rear row unit may be locked
up to reduce wear in single-row operations, using a pin
stored in a hole in the upper forward mount, which is
transferred to a hole below the rear end of the lower
parallel arms. See “
Parallel arms: standard
Each row unit is mounted on the planter with parallel arms
which allow each row unit to independently move up and
down while staying horizontal. See “

Row cleaners: optional
Row cleaners clear trash from the row. Twin-row planters
support single-arm cleaners. Single-row planters support
single- or double-arm cleaners. See “
Coulter: optional, choice of wheels
Coulters cut any remaining trash, and create a pre-groove
for light no-till planting. The down force needed to cut and
widen the coulter groove is supplied by the row unit. The
depth relative to the opener is set by a choice of hub
mounting holes. See “
Openers: standard, 2 per row unit
Openers double disks widen the coulter groove, creating
the seed bed. Setup controls depth, width and sidewall
angle. See “
The depth gauge wheels also accept an optional scraper.
