2023 Great Plains PL5905

The PL5905 60' bulk-fill planter is available in 30" and 15" row spacings.

Providing big-drill performance in a smaller machine, the Great Plains 1300 End Wheel Drill is the best built end wheel drill on the market. Heavy-duty openers feature hydraulically adjustable down pressure for consistent seed placement along the full width of the unit.

Its rugged construction, combined with a superior opener system, make the unit ideal for minimum-till conditions. The weatherproof seed box features a 3.2 bu./ft. capacity—one of the largest in the industry—minimizing the number of refills required to finish the job. The openers are in line with the end wheels, reducing sideloading on curves or terraces.

• The new 5005 Series row units feature 15", 4mm blades turning on triple-lip sealed bearings to ensure long life and accurate seed depth. Blades are offset to slice residue and form an ideal seed trench. Opener options include unit-mounted Turbo or fluted coulters, row cleaners, and seed firmers.

• User-defined dose of starter fertilizer in perfect proximity to the seed.

• Choose (l to r) tapered cast iron wheels for seeding into stale Delta seedbeds; 1.25"x13" wedge wheels that pinch the seed trench closed; 1"x12" double V closing wheels for all-around performance; or exclusive spider wheels with a drag chain, which are the most aggressive option for closing the trench.

• New parallel arms and opener body with larger bushings enhance durability and planter longevity. The new 05 Series row units are compatible with AccuShot in-row fertilizer application systems and Ag Leader’s SureForce™ hydraulic downforce technology.

• Maximize yield and minimize input costs using IRC electric drive. IRC capabilities include variable-rate seeding, section control, and turn compensation for consistent in-row seed spacing, even on tight turns.

• Equipped with two 82-bu. heavy-duty poly hoppers, the PL5905 holds up to 164 bushels of seed onboard for maximum productivity. A dual-fan air system provides advanced seed delivery for many types and sizes of seed.
