Introduction
Great Plains Manufacturing wants you to be satisfied
with any new machine delivered by the Great Plains
Trucking network. To ease the assembly task and
produce a properly working machine, read this entire
manual before assembling or setting up new equipment.
Description of Unit
The 3S-5000 is a towed seeding implement. This three
section drill has a working width of 50 feet. The drill has
straight arm, double disk openers. The opener disks
make a seed bed, and seed tubes mounted between the
disks place seed in the furrow. Press wheels following
the opener disks close the furrow and gauge opener
seeding depth. A T-handle on the opener body is for
seeding depth adjustments. Seeding rates are adjustable
with the seed rate adjustment handle and sprocket
changes.
The 3S-5000 features active hydraulic down pressure on
the opener frames. When used on a tractor with closed-
center hydraulics, constant down pressure ensures even
opener penetration in uneven ground. Hydraulic down
pressure is adjustable at a single point.
Intended Usage
Use this implement to seed production-agriculture crops
in conventional or minimum tillage applications.

Important Safety Information
Look for Safety Symbol
The SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL indicates there is a
potential hazard to personal safety involved and extra safety
precaution must be taken. When you see this symbol, be
alert and carefully read the message that follows it. In
addition to design and configuration of equipment, hazard
control and accident prevention are dependent upon the
awareness, concern, prudence and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport, maintenance
and storage of equipment.
Be Aware of Signal Words
Signal words designate a degree or level of hazard
seriousness.
DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
This signal word is limited to the most extreme situations,
typically for machine components that, for functional
purposes, cannot be guarded.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury,
and includes hazards that are exposed when guards are
removed. It may also be used to alert against unsafe
practices.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury. It may
also be used to alert against unsafe practices.
Prepare for Emergencies
Be prepared if a fire starts
Keep a first aid kit and fire extinguisher handy.
Keep emergency numbers for doctor, ambulance, hospital
and fire department near phone.
Be Familiar with Safety Decals
Read and understand “Safety Decals” in Operator manual.
Read all instructions noted on the decals.
Keep decals clean. Replace damaged, faded and illegible
decals.
Avoid High Pressure Fluids
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin,
causing serious injury.
Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before disconnecting
hydraulic lines.
Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to
check for suspected leaks.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems.
If an accident occurs, seek immediate medical assistance
from a physician familiar with this type of injury.
Transport Machinery Safely
Maximum transport speed for air drill is 20 mph (32 kph).
Some rough terrains require a slower speed. Sudden
braking can cause a towed load to swerve and upset.
Do not exceed 20 mph (32 km/h). Never travel at a speed
which does not allow adequate control of steering and
stopping. Reduce speed if towed load is not equipped with
brakes.
Comply with state and local laws.
Do not tow an air drill unless the towing vehicle is rated for,
and ballasted for, the weight of the air drill.
Carry reflectors or flags to mark air drill in case of
breakdown on the road.
Do not fold or unfold the air drill while the tractor is moving.
Practice Safe Maintenance
Understand procedure before doing work. Use proper tools
and equipment. Refer to this manual for additional
information.
Work in a clean, dry area.
Lower the air drill, put tractor in park, turn off engine, and
remove key before performing maintenance.
Make sure all system pressure is relieved.
Inspect all parts. Make sure parts are in good condition and
installed properly.
Remove buildup of grease, oil or debris.
Remove all tools and unused parts from air drill before
operation.

Setup
Hitching Tractor to Drill
You may be severely injured or killed by being crushed
between the tractor and drill. Do not stand or place any part of
your body between drill and moving tractor. Stop tractor
engine and set park brake before installing the hitch pin.
This drill can have positive and negative tongue weight, which
can work the hitch pin loose during transport. To avoid serious
injury or death due to a road accident, always use a clevis
hitch or clevis drawbar with a locking-style hitch pin.
1. Choose a drill-hitch option that is compatible with
your tractor drawbar. The 3S-5000 has four hitch
options:
• a clevis hitch,
• a small-hole, single-strap hitch or
• a large-hole, single-strap hitch.
• a CAT V hitch with adapter option
Use the clevis hitch with tractors that have single-
tang drawbars. Use the single-strap hitch for tractors
with clevis drawbars. Always use a locking-style hitch
pin sized to match the holes in the hitch and drawbar.
2. To adjust the drill hitch to match your tractor-drawbar
height, mount tongue jack on side of tongue as
shown. Use jack to raise drill tongue so lowest hitch
hole is 18 inches off ground.
3. Move the selector valve to the jack operating posi-
tion as shown on the decal . Use the tractor
hydraulics to raise or lower the drill tongue.
Note: When hitching drill to a different tractor, check for a
difference in drawbar heights. If heights are
different, readjust hitch height accordingly.
4. Securely attach safety chain to an anchor on a
tractor capable of pulling the drill.
5. Plug drill electrical lead in tractor seven-pin connec-
tor. If your tractor is not equipped with a seven-pin
connector, contact your dealer for installation.

Hydraulic Hose Hookup
Only trained personnel should work on system hydraulics!
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to
penetrate the skin, causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard
by relieving pressure before disconnecting hydraulic lines.
Use a piece of paper or cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to
check for leaks. Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or
goggles when working with hydraulic systems. If an accident
occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the
skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or
gangrene will result.
Refer to Figure 20
Great Plains hydraulic hoses have color coded handle
grips to help you hookup hoses to your tractor outlets.
Hoses that go to the same remote valve are marked
with the same color.
To distinguish hoses on the same hydraulic circuit, refer
to the symbol molded into the handle grip. Hoses with
an extended-cylinder symbol feed cylinder base ends.
Hoses with a retracted-cylinder symbol feed cylinder
rod ends.
1. Connect opener-lift hoses to circuit designated for
hydraulic-motor control.
2. Connect transport-lift hoses to tractor remote valve.
3. Connect fold hoses to tractor remote valve.
Note: If your tractor has only two remote valves, you
must install a double-selector valve to combine
the transport-lift and opener-lift circuits. See “Two
Outlet Hydraulic Kit” on page 25.
Hydraulic Operations
Consult the Operator’s Manual for unfolding and lowering
instructions. Pay strict attention to the step ordering.
Both Opener and Transport Lift circuits must be raised and
locked up before folding, or implement damage will result.
To run drill on tractors with open-center hydraulics or on
tractors with fixed-displacement hydraulic pumps, you must
install a Great Plains kit, part number 194-143A.

Bleeding Hydraulics
To function properly, the hydraulics must be free of air. If
hydraulics have not been bled, they will operate with
jerky, uneven motions and could cause wings to drop
rapidly during folding or unfolding. If hydraulics were not
bled during initial implement setup or if you replace a
part in hydraulic system during the life of the drill,
complete the following procedures.
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing
serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure before
disconnecting hydraulic lines. Use a piece of paper or
cardboard, NOT BODY PARTS, to check for suspected leaks.
Wear protective gloves and safety glasses or goggles when
working with hydraulic systems. If an accident occurs, see a
doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be
surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.
Raising openers on unfolded, unhitched drill will cause drill
tongue to rise suddenly, which could cause serious injury or
death. Be certain that drill is hitched securely to your tractor
drawbar and the safety chain is securely attached to tractor
before raising openers and unfolding drill.
Bleed only at:
JIC (Joint Industry Conference, 37flare) or
NPT (National Pipe Thread, tapered thread) fittings.
Never bleed at:
ORB (O-Ring Boss) or
QD (Quick Disconnect) fittings.
Check hydraulic fluid level in tractor reservoir and fill to
proper level. Add fluid to system as needed.
System capacity for entire drill is about
412U.S. gallons
(17 liters).

Bleeding Opener Lift Hydraulics
Refer to Figure 21
1. Check hydraulic fluid level in tractor reservoir and fill to
proper level. Add fluid to system as needed. System
capacity for entire drill is about 412gallons (17 liters).
2. Make sure opener frames are locked up in road
position. See “Folding” on page 17.
3. Turn knob on both pressure-control valves completely
counterclockwise, then turn valves clockwise far
enough to build up 1000 psi (about three turns).
4. Turn knob on bypass valve completely clockwise for
no oil flow.
5. Loosen four top hose-end fittings at the locations
shown.
Note: Do not loosen an O-ring fitting for bleeding. Bleeding
air from an O-ring fitting will damage the seal.
6. Slowly supply oil to top side of pressure-control valves
until oil begins to appear at a loosened hose fitting. As
oil begins to appear at a fitting, tighten that fitting.
7. Slowly supply oil to bottom side of pressure-control
valves until oil begins to appear at remaining loosened
hose fitting. As oil begins to appear at the fitting, tighten
fitting. Continue to supply oil to bottom side of
pressure-control valves until all openers are raised
completely.
8. Move opener transport locks to field position and cycle
openers up and down ten times. Each time you lower
openers, hold tractor remote lever until opener circuit
builds up to pressure set at control valves.
9. After cycling openers, return opener transport locks to
road position.

Bleeding Fold & Jack Hydraulics
Refer to Figure 22
1. Check hydraulic fluid level in tractor reservoir and fill to
proper level. Add fluid to system as needed.
2. With drill unfolded and fold cylinders completely
extended, disconnect rod end pins and swing the
cylinders so they will not contact anything when
extended.
3. Loosen rod end hose fittings at lower fold elbows.
Note: Do not loosen an O-ring fitting for bleeding. Bleeding
air from an O-ring fitting will damage the seal.
4. Make sure hydraulic jack valve is in the field position.
See “Folding” on page 17.
5. Slowly supply oil to rod end of fold cylinders until oil
appears at loosened hose fitting. Tighten fitting and
completely retract fold cylinders.
6. With cylinders completely retracted, loosen base end
hose fittings at elbow on lower fold cylinders.
7. Loosen base and hose fittings at hydraulic jack
elbows.
8. Slowly supply oil to base end of fold cylinders until oil
appears at loosened hose fitting. Tighten base end
hose fitting and cycle fold cylinders in and out several
times.
9. Set hydraulic jack valve to the jack position and repeat
steps 5-8. See “Folding” on page 17 for hydraulic jack
information.
10. Re-pin cylinder rod clevis.

Bleeding Transport Lift Hydraulics
Crushing Hazard:
The hydraulics could fail, causing the openers to fall and
crush you. To prevent serious injury or death, always secure
cylinder lock channels over extended transport-lift cylinders
before working under openers.
Refer to Figure 23
1. Check hydraulic fluid level in tractor reservoir and fill
to proper level. Add fluid to system as needed.
2. Lower drill into field position and completely retract
box lift cylinder at middle of tongue. Loosen base
end hose fitting on left transport lift cylinder and base
end fitting on box lift cylinder .
3. Slowly supply oil to base end of transport lift
cylinders until oil appears at loosened hose fitting.
Oil may not appear at both locations at the same
time. As oil begins to appear at a fitting, tighten that
fitting and proceed until both fittings have been
tightened.
4. Completely extend transport lift cylinders and
immediately lock cylinders up by flipping up cylinder
lock channels on both transport lift cylinders and box
lift cylinder.
5. When cylinder lock channels are in place, loosen rod
end hose fitting on left transport lift cylinder and rod
end hose fitting on box lift cylinder .
6. Slowly supply oil to rod end of transport lift cylinders
until oil appears at the loosened hose fittings. As oil
begins to appear at fitting, tighten that fitting and
proceed until all fittings are tightened.
7. Extend transport lift cylinders, and remove the
cylinder lock channels. Completely cycle transport lift
hydraulics several times.
