2023 Great Plains PL5700 30" / 12 rows

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.

• 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. Beginning in 2025, new models will feature new 5005 Series row units.

• 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.
