Conversion Kit For 3-pt Grain Drills
 ✖  |
"It lets you handle your drill with a smaller tractor. Or, to pull your drill behind an offset disk or field cultivator," says Jack Larson about his company's new conversion kit that turns your 3-pt. mounted drill into a more easily handled, energy-saving trailing drill.
The kit consists of a "floating" tongue with hydraulic cylinder and two rear lift-assist wheels. The single, one-way cylinder lifts the converted drill onto the lift assist wheels for road transport but floats loosely in the field, leaving the wheels on the ground.
"The trailing frame is designed to keep constant pressure on the drill's front carrier wheels in the field just like a 3-pt. mount," says Larson, who notes that about 95% of the drills on the market are 3-pt.
Kits have been designed only for Tye and Great Plains drills. However, the company says they will work with farmers to develop kits for other makes. Their first kit now in production for Tye and Great Plains drills sells for $850 and fits all drill models -largest to smallest- offered by the two companies.
