2021 Orthman 30" Row Planters 18 Row 30 - CCS

The options are nearly endless with Orthman’s 30” spacing DR Series Planters. With sizes ranging from 12 to 24 rows and the John Deere MaxEmerge™ 5 family of row units, you can set up your DR with options like row unit hoppers, bulk fill, narrow transport, implement guidance and onboard fertilizer tanks to name just a few.

Orthman is known as a worldwide leader in versatile, durable stacking toolbars because we continually strive to meet and exceed the changing needs of customers. DR Series Stacking Planters are the result of decades of stacking toolbar experience and have been designed as the ultimate planter platform. The 30” spacing DR Planter lineup features two different styles of planters; the DR12 and DR18 models are built on a heavy-duty stack-fold toolbar with lift assist wheels, and the DR24 is built on the innovative short-coupled semi-mount/pull-type toolbar.

• Mounted with Lift Assist Wheel

• Semi-Mount/ Pull-Type

DR Planter toolbars are constructed of high-strength premium grade steel tubing to provide years of trouble-free use and all folding hinges are precision line-bored to ensure smooth folding and extra strength, consistent with all Orthman toolbars.

The 30” DR24 is a best-in-class performer. It combines the strongest toolbars in the industry with an innovative gull wing feature, flexible frame, GPS implement guidance options and industry-leading fertilizer carrying capacity. These features, combined with the shortest length of any 24-row planter on the market, put the DR24 in a league of its own.

Features may include:

• The 30” DR24 features six center-section lift wheels and 50 percent more tire than standard 24-row pull-type planters for better weight distribution and reduced compaction.

• The unique design of the DR24 is up to 40 percent shorter in field length than the competition to help minimize headlands and maximize in-field maneuverability. With a transport length up to 65 percent shorter on the road, you can easily maneuver this planter in and out of tight field entrances.

• When equipped with row unit hoppers, the DR24 is available with a 1,000-gallon liquid fertilizer tank, the largest in the industry.

• The three-section flexible frame of the DR Planter with wing float adapts to uneven field terrain, with 8 degrees up and 8 degrees down to allow you to handle any ground conditions.

• DR 12 and DR18 30” planters feature industry-exclusive mounted planter seed capacity, with their 75-bushel and 100-bushel bulk seed systems. Heavy-duty lift assist wheels are standard equipment, with large tires for maximum flotation. DR18 models are also able to be equipped with 1.6- or 3.0-bushel row unit hoppers, for more configuration flexibility.

• DR Series Planters feature an innovative gull-wing package that allows the wings to flex upward 8 degrees for more clearance on end turns. DR Series Planters are perfect for planting up to ditches to minimize the need for headlands and allow you to turn around with the wings overhanging ditches and waterways — unlike drawn planters that utilize carry wheels on the end of the planter toolbar.
