2024 Great Plains PL5700 16 Row

Meet the new PL5700 Planter from Great Plains – a front-folding, 30" row planter for farmers who want top-of-the-line planter accuracy without complicated technologies.

The Great Plains PL5700 features new 5000 Series Row Units, new 5000 Series Air-Pro® Meters, and a positive air system that sets it apart from the competition by providing more accuracy with fewer headaches than vacuum planters. Designed on a rugged and maneuverable front-fold, telescoping-tongue design, the PL5700 handles exceptionally well in the field and on the road. Available in 12- and 16-row configurations with bulk-fill or row-unit hoppers and an assortment of drives, fertilizer, and attachment options.

Features may include:

• The 5000 Series row unit utilizes ductile cast parallel arms for long-term row unit stability. 15", 4mm blades turning on 205 triple-lip seal bearings ensure long life and accurate seed depth. Blades are offset ½" to slice residue and form a perfect seed trench. Opener options include unit-mounted Turbo or fluted coulters, row cleaners, and seed firmers.

• The Great Plains ISO Solutions Suite delivers a simplified and universal ISOBUS-based interface solution that includes plug-and-play setup without the need for expensive aftermarket unlocks and subscriptions; access to remote support; and terminal extension capabilities from the field. This solution can be used with all Great Plains ISOBUS-compatible products.

• Our new 5000 Series Air-Pro® Meter offers the highest level of singulation on the market today, and achieves uniform spacing by “dead-dropping” the seed into the trench.

• Bulk tank models have two heavy-duty poly, 50-bu. tanks for 100 bu. of onboard seed. Also available are 1.6-bu. or 3-bu. (see inset) individual hoppers with shock-assisted lids that make filling easy.

• Just drop the pin and go!

• Choose ground drive with a contact wheel, hydraulic drive with variable-rate seeding and rate control from the cab, or IRC (Individual Row Control) electric drive for variable-rate seeding, rate control from the cab, and consistent in-row seed spacing, even on tight turns.

• A dual-fan air system on bulk models and a newly-designed seed pickup system provide advanced delivery of many types of seed.

• Now compatible with SureForce™ by Ag Leader! SureForce responds instantly to changing conditions, giving each row the exact pressure needed to plant at the ideal depth.

• The tongue retracts when unfolded to keep the planter closer to the tractor for optimum maneuverability. The simple, folding design lets the operator extend the tongue and lock the folded wings in place for transport.
