25 Series Row Unit Adjustments
Refer to Figure 81 (which depicts a row unit
populated with most optional accessories supported
for use with the Planter)
From front to back, a Great Plains 25 Series Air-Pro row
unit can include the following capabilities (some
optional):
1.
Lock-Up Pin Storage Hole (Hole Standard)
See “ Row Unit Shut-Off ” on page 82.
2. Down-Pressure Cam (Standard)
Row units are mounted on parallel arms. This
parallel-action mounting allows the row-unit to move
up and down while staying horizontal. Springs add
an adjustable force, set by the cam, to the row
weight. See “ Row Unit Down Pressure ” on
page 71.
3. Air Inlet (Standard)
Pressure-regulated air enters the meter here and
holds seed in the disk pockets. See “ Fan and
Adjustment ” on page 65.
4. Seed Delivery Hose Inlet (Standard)
Air carrying the bulk seed is vented at the bottom of
the air release cone. Gravity then carries the seed
into the meter at the shutter . The hose is easily
removed for inspection. There are no adjustments.
5. Air-Pro Seed Meter (Standard, Choice of Disks)
See “ Air-Pro Meter Disk Installation ” on page 81.
6. Seed Inlet Shutter (Standard)
This controls the level of bulk seed at the disk. There
are four operating settings, plus fully open
(clean-out) and fully closed (shut-off or storage). See
“ Seed Inlet Shutter Adjustment ” on page 79.
7. Side Gauge Wheel Depth (Standard)
The T-handle sets planting depth by controlling the
height of the side gauge wheels relative to the
opener discs. See “ Side Gauge Wheel
Adjustment ” on page 77.
8. Press Wheel Force, Angle, Stagger (Standard)
The press wheels close the furrow, gently pressing
the soil over the seed to ensure good seed to soil
contact for even emergence. See “ Press Wheel
Adjustment ” on page 86.
9. Row Unit Lock-Up Hole (Hole Standard)
Pins are standard on some models. With the row unit
raised above level, the lock-up pin is inserted here.
See “ Row Unit Shut-Off ” on page 82.
10. Row Cleaner (Option)
Row cleaners clear trash from the row, to a depth set
by an adjustment on the arms. See “ Unit-Mount
Cleaner Adjustments ” on page 73.
11. Unit-Mount Coulter (Option)
Coulters cut remaining trash and begin opening the
seed furrow. Working depth is set by row depth and
a mounting hole selection. See “ Coulter
Adjustments ” on page 74.
12. Opener Discs (Standard)
Row-unit double disc openers create the seedbed
furrow. They have adjustments for angle and
spacing. See “ Row-Unit Opener Disk
Adjustments ” on page 76.
13. Seed Tube with Sensor (Standard)
Requires no adjustment.
14. Scrapers (Optional, not shown)
Inside scrapers require no adjustment. For gauge
wheel scrapers, see “ Adjusting Gauge Wheel
Scrapers ” on page 78.
15. Seed Firmers (Seed Flap Standard, not shown)
An optional seed firmer (Keeton
®
shown) minimizes
seed bounce and improves soil contact. It may also
deliver fertilizer. See “ Seed Firmer Adjustments ” on
page 85.
16. Press Wheel Type (Choice)
A variety of single and dual press wheel assemblies
are available, some region-specific. Consult your
Great Plains dealer.
Equipment Damage Risk:
Do not back up with row units in the ground. To do so will
cause row unit plugging and may result in severe damage.
