Fall is just about here and many no-tillers might be wondering what their best options are for no-tilling Fall cover crops. Here’s Tony Wisker, Vice President of Sales with Great Plains, to tell you about one new option that would be a great fit for no-tilling Fall covers. 

“The 7510 is a new model for us, available in 15 feet or 20 feet working width. And it transports, no matter what you're working with, it transports under 10 feet wide. So today, here at the show, it's displayed in that transport position. So one remote lever, you fold that out to your full working width, has a no-till coulter, a nice heavy machine. So any conditions, it's going to be able to get the job done and get the seed in the ground. The standard, what you would expect from a Great Plains row unit with a double disc opener with a leading edge, a no-till coulter in front of that, a variety of press wheel choices. So a great option, whether you're no-till in cover crops in the fall, no-till in your soybeans in the springtime, it's a well-rounded machine no matter what the use.

The biggest takeaway with this machine is the meter. So now it has the same seed meter, the BD meter that our BD7600 has. So that's something that we haven't had on the smaller size drills or on the no-till drills yet. So that meter has the ability to meter small seeds, large seeds, at a variety of rates. It's all controlled by the speed of the meter, not necessarily the width of the opening. So it meters very smooth, very steady, and very accurately.”

And as you heard Tony say it transports at UNDER 10 feet — a very impressive and popular feature.
