Important Safety Information 1
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.

dren normally do not play.
Use Safety Lights and Devices

Slow-moving tractors and towed implements can
create a hazard when driven on public roads.
They are difficult to see, especially at night.
Use flashing warning lights and turn signals
whenever driving on public roads.

Use lights and devices provided with imple-
ment.
150-131M
6/23/15
Transport Machinery Safely

Maximum transport speed for implement is 20
mph. Some rough terrains require a slower
speed. Sudden braking can cause a towed load to
swerve and upset.
Do not exceed 20 mph. 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 implement that, when fully
loaded, weighs more than 1.5 times the weight

of towing vehicle.
Carry reflectors or flags to mark drill in case of
breakdown on the road.

Keep clear of overhead power lines and other
obstructions when transporting. Refer to transport dimensions under Specifications and

Capacities, page 59.
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, see a doctor immedi-
ately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be

surgically removed within a few hours or gangrene may result.

machinery should it separate from tractor

drawbar.
Use a chain with a strength rating equal to or
greater than the gross weight of towed

machinery.
Attach chain to tractor drawbar support or
other specified anchor location. Allow only

enough slack in chain to permit turning.
Replace chain if any links or end fittings are
broken, stretched or damaged.

Do not use safety chain for towing.
Tire Safety
Tire changing can be dangerous and should be
performed by trained personnel using correct
tools and equipment.

with care and built by skilled workers using quality
materials. Proper setup, maintenance and safe
operating practices will help you get years of satisfactory use from the machine.
Description of Unit
The 1205NT Drill is a 12' grain drill of end wheel
design which couples Great Plains spring mounted coulter with a straight arm design of our solid
stand opener to achieve no-till drilling capabilities.
The end wheel design keeps the ground-working
components in line with the end wheels for accurate coulter depth and seed placement over
uneven terrain and allows the unit to follow field
curves without side-loading the openers.
Intended Usage
This machine is intended to be used primarily for
No-Till drilling. It can easily be adapted for conventional drilling applications.

Hydraulic Hose Hookup

High Pressure Fluid Hazard:
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,
seek immediate medical attention from a physician
familiar with this type of injury.

Rephasing Cylinders
The lift cylinders may, after a period of time, get
out of time or phase. The effects of this can be
seen when one side of the drill is running too low
or too high because its lift cylinder is either over
extended or not retracted compared to the other
lift cylinder.
To rephase the cylinders, raise drill completely
and hold tractor hydraulic lever on for a few seconds to give cylinders time to rephase.
Each time drill is raised out of ground momentarily
reverse hydraulic lever immediately after rephasing to allow cylinders to retract about 1/2 inch.
This will help in maintaining a level drill.
NOTE: Understand that having cylinders become
gradually out of time is different than having air
trapped in the system from improper bleeding.
Each condition is corrected differently.

Bleeding Hydraulics
Escaping fluid under pressure can have sufficient pressure to penetrate the skin. Check all hydraulic lines
and fittings before applying pressure. Fluid escaping
from a very small hole can be almost invisible. Use paper or cardboard, not body parts, and wear heavy
gloves to check for suspected leaks. If injured, seek
medical assistance from a doctor that is familiar with
this type of injury.
Check that tractor hydraulic reservoir is full.
The drill lifting system is equipped with rephasing
type hydraulic cylinders that require a special procedure for bleeding air from the hydraulic circuits.
Read and follow this procedure carefully. Rephasing type cylinders will not function properly with air
in hydraulic circuit.
1. Check hydraulic fluid in tractor reservoir and
fill reservoir to proper level. Drill-system capacity is about 1 gallon. Add fluid to system as
needed. A low reservoir level may draw air
back into the system, causing jerky or uneven
cylinder movements.
2. With drill attached to tractor, jack drill up and
support frame at ends near gauge wheels.
3. With drill raised and supported, unpin cylinders from gauge wheel arms and frame. Turn
cylinders "rod end up". Wire or otherwise
safely support rod ends higher than base
ends.
NOTE: In order to prevent trapped air pockets, rod
end must be higher than any other part of cylinder
during bleeding operation.
4. With tractor engine idling, engage tractor hydraulics to extend cylinder rods. When cylinder rods are completely extended, hold
remote lever on for one minute.
5. Retract cylinders. Extend cylinders again and
hold remote lever on for one more minute. Repeat this step two more times to completely
bleed system.

1205NT
6. Repin cylinders to drill frame and gauge

wheel arm with transport cylinder locks in
place. If any air still is trapped in either cylinder, the cylinder will have a spongy, erratic
movement and drill will not raise evenly. If
necessary, repeat bleeding process.
7. Refill tractor hydraulic fluid reservoir to its
proper level.
NOTE: After the drill is raised, a slight settling will
occur due to the action of the rephasing cylinders.
Leveling Drill
See Figure 8.
1. Loosen locknuts (2) and adjust cylinder eyebolts (1) so there is initially about 3 1/16 inch
of threads above mounting plate.
2. Raise drill with hydraulics until openers and
coulters are 1 to 2 inches off the ground.
3. Measure height of coulter tube from ground
on both ends of drill.
4. Adjust eyebolt to level drill from end to end.
5. Tighten nuts on eyebolts when drill is level.

You can adjust marker folding speed. Refer to

Marker Adjustments, page 38, and adjust folding
speed to a safe rate. Folding markers at high
speed can damage markers.
Transporting
Loss of Control Hazard:
Towing the drill at high speeds or with a vehicle that is
not heavy enough could lead to loss of vehicle control.
Loss of vehicle control could lead to serious road accidents, injury and death. To reduce the hazard, do not
exceed 20 mph. Check that your tractor has enough
ballast to handle the weight of the drill. Refer to your
tractor operators manual for ballast requirements.
Loss of Control Hazard:

Failure of hydraulic cylinders during transport will
cause drill to drop suddenly, which could lead to serious road accidents, injury or death. To prevent an accident, always install cylinder locks before
transporting drill.
14773
Before transporting the drill, follow and check

these items:
Lock Cylinders. Cylinder locks (1) are located on
both hydraulic cylinders. With drill fully raised
swing lock up over rod of cylinder and snap into
place, see Figure 10.
NOTE: The cylinder locks can be engaged or disengaged only after the drill is fully raised.

Unload drill box. The drill can be transported

with a full box of grain, but the added weight will increase stopping distance and decrease
maneuverability. Unload drill box before transporting if at all possible.
Clearance. Remember that the drill is wider that
the tractor. Allow safe clearance.
Road rules. Comply with all federal, state and local safety laws when traveling on public roads.
Lock-out Hub. Make sure drive lock-out hub on
left side of drill is disengaged before transporting,
see Figure 11. This will prevent excessive wear of
drive system during transport.
Transporting with Markers
Always transport markers in the folded position.
Parking
Perform the following steps when parking the drill.
Refer to Storage, page 48, to prepare for longterm storage.
1. Park drill on a level, solid area.

Coulter Adjustments
A no-till coulter (1), Figure 13, is mounted directly
ahead of each opener on the drill. The coulters
cut through heavy trash and make a groove in the
soil for the openers. The coulters are mounted on
the drill frame so coulter cutting depth changes as
the drill is raised and lowered.
To set drill seeding depth, you must:
1. Set coulter depth with hydraulic stop.
2. Set opener depth with T-handles on press
wheels.
3. If soil conditions make it necessary, increase
coulter down pressure by adding weights.
If necessary, adjust individual coulters or openers
to seed in tire tracks, refer to page 26.
Coulter cutting depth is controlled by a depth control valve.
Figure 13
Coulter
13985
Figure 14
Coulter Depth Stop
15522
The amount of coulter down force needed to cut a

soil groove varies with soil conditions. Adding
weight or shortening the coulter spring increases
coulter down pressure and cutting force.
Coulter Depth Control
The master-slave lift cylinders on your drill control
the depth of the coulters. A depth valve regulates
the retracted length of these cylinders.
1. See Figure 14. Slightly raise drill with depth
stop engagement arm on the rock shaft not
touching the valve.
2. Turn the depth control knob clockwise. Each
rotation lowers the coulters approximately 1/4
inch.
3. Raise and lower drill a few times to recheck
depth.
NOTE: Changing depth of coulters will effect
planting depth of openers. Press wheels will need
to be adjusted accordingly.

Spring Length. Coulter springs are preset at 10

inches, giving coulters an initial operating force of
400 pounds. This setting is adequate for many difficult no-till conditions.
Equipment Damage Risk:

Resetting coulter-spring length shorter than 9 3/4 inches may contribute to premature failure of parts and warranty will be voided. If additional force is needed, add
weights to drill.
Figure 15
Coulter Spring Length
For lighter no-till conditions where rocks or other

obstructions are a problem, you can lengthen
coulter springs to protect coulters from impact.
Refer to Table 2.
Individual Coulter Adjustment
Individual coulters can be lowered if coulters follow in tractor tire tracks and do not give
satisfactory depth. To do so:
1. Loosen 5/8 inch jam nuts on 5/8 inch square
head set screws. Then loosen set screws.

Adjustments 27
Opener Adjustments
Opener Down Pressure
Opener springs provide the down pressure necessary for opener disks to open a seed trench.
The springs allow the openers to float down into
depressions and up over obstructions.
Each opener spring can be adjusted for down
pressure. This is useful when penetrating hard
soil and for planting in tractor tire tracks.
To adjust the pressure, remove W clip at bottom
of spring. Place W clip in a higher hole in spring
rod for more pressure or in a lower hole for less
pressure, see Figure 16.
Maximum Pressure
Minimum Pressure
Opener Seeding Depth

A press wheel attached to each opener body controls seeding depth. To maintain consistent depth,
the relationship between the bottom of the opener
disks and press wheel is fixed upwardly by an adjustable stop on each opener.
12103
12102
Figure 16
Opener Down Pressure Adjustment
T-handle
The press wheels also close the seed trench and

gently press soil over seed. To provide consistent
soil firming, press wheels are free to move down
from normal operating position. This maintains
pressing action even if opener disks encounter
obstructions or hard soil.
Set opener seeding depth by adjusting presswheel height. To adjust, first raise drill slightly,
then lift and slide T-handles on top of openers as
shown in Figure 17.
For shallower seeding, slide T-handles toward drill.
For deeper seeding, slide T-handles away
from drill.

Disk Scraper Adjustment

To keep opener disks turning freely, dirt scrapers
are mounted between disks to clean as the disks
rotate. As field conditions vary, scrapers may
need to be adjusted. In damp conditions, scrapers
may need to be lowered. If openers are not turning freely, scrapers may need to be raised.

Seeding Rate
Calibrating the seeding rate requires four steps:
1. selecting one of four drive types,
2. setting the seed-rate handle,
3. positioning the feed-cup door, and
4. checking the seed rate.
Refer to the seed rate charts beginning on page
31. These charts list the proper drive type and
seed-rate-handle settings for various seeds and
seeding rates.
The seed rate charts are based on cleaned, untreated seed of average size and test weight. The
rates are based on 295/75/R22.5 rib implement
tires. Many factors will affect seeding rates including foreign material, seed treatment, seed size,
field conditions, tire pressure and test weight. Minor adjustments likely will be needed. Set and
check the seeding rate using the procedures on
page 30, then adjust the rate as necessary.
Select Drive Type
The gearbox is designed to give you a variety of
drive speeds for different types of seeds and
rates. It is a linear shift pattern design with constant mesh gearing and totally sealed to keep the
dirt out. No lubrication is required unless service
is needed.
The gearbox brass indicator plate is positioned so
the side with 1 is closest to the center of the drill.
To set the gearbox move the selector handle until
the desired drive type appears in the window on
the handle.

Position Feed-Cup Doors

See Figure 22. For wheat and other small seeds,
move feed cup door handles to highest position.
For soybeans and other large seeds, lower handles to second position. If excessive seed
cracking occurs, lower handles to third position.
Move handles to fourth, wide-open position, for
seed cup clean out. Make sure all handles are in
same position before drilling.

NOTE: Do not open cup to wide open position with

seeds in the box unless complete clean out is desired.
Check Seed Rate
NOTE: For drills built after October 1, 2005,
use the gauge wheel tire or supplied calibration
crank to calibrate. For drills built before October 1, 2005, use the gauge wheel to calibrate or
order the calibration crank kit available through
your Great Plains Dealer.
1. To calibrate, use either the left hand gauge
wheel or the supplied calibration crank. If using the calibration crank, attach crank to coupler on gauge wheel jackshaft with retaining
pin and disengage lockout on drive wheel.
2. Rotate left hand gauge wheel or calibration
crank to see that feed cups and drive are
working properly and are free from foreign
matter.
3. To adjust seeding rate, decide which drive
type (gearbox) setting you need from the
seeding charts beginning on page 31. Set the
gearbox. Rotate drive tire or calibration crank
a few turns to confirm gearbox has engaged.
Figure 22
Feed-cup Door Handle Adjustment
14744
8. Check that the three seed cups have plenty of

seed coming into them.
9. Weigh metered seed. Subtract initial weight of
container. Divide by three. Multiply by the number of openers on your drill to determine total
pounds seeded per acre. If this figure is different than desired, set your seed rate adjustment handle accordingly.
NOTE: You may want to repeat the calibration procedure if your results vary greatly from seed rate
chart.
10. When drilling, check seeding rate by noting
acres drilled, amount of seed added to drill and
seed level in drill box. If you are seeding more
or less than desired, adjust seeding rate slightly to compensate for field conditions.
Equations for calibrating seed rate:
4. Record weight of an empty container large

enough to hold seed metered for one acre.
measured seed - empty container
5. Place several pounds of seed over three seed

cups on an outside end of drill box. Pull seed
tubes off of these three openers.
pounds per seed cup x number of openers = pounds per acre
= pounds per seed cup

3 (number of seed cups measured)
6. Turn drive gauge wheel or calibration crank

several times to fill seed cups with seed. Turn
wheel or crank until seed falls to the ground
from each cup.
7. Rotate drive gauge wheel or calibration crank
346 rotations. This is equal to one acre.
NOTE: You can also rotate the gauge wheel jackshaft by means of a wrench or socket. If rotating
gauge wheel jackshaft, disengage the lockout on
the drive wheel and use same number of rotations
as for rotating drive wheel.

Small Seeds Attachment

To set and calibrate the seeding rate on the optional small seeds attachment, follow these steps:
NOTE: For drills built after October 1, 2005,
calibrate using gauge wheel or supplied calibration crank. For drills built before October 1,
2005, calibrate using gauge wheel or order the
calibration crank kit available through your Great
Plains Dealer.
1. To calibrate, use either the left hand gauge
wheel or the supplied calibration crank. If using the calibration crank, attach crank to coupler on gauge wheel jackshaft with retaining
pin and disengage lockout on drive wheel.
23386
2. Rotate left hand gauge wheel or calibration

crank to see that feed cups and drive are
working properly and are free from foreign
matter.
3. From the small seeds seed rate chart on page
35 find the setting number for desired feeding
rate (and row spacing). Move the small seed
cup adjustment lever to that setting number.
4. Record weight of an empty container large
enough to hold seed metered for one acre.
5. Place several pounds of seed over three seed
cups on an outside end of drill box. Pull seed
tubes off of these three openers.


6. Turn drive gauge wheel or calibration crank

several times to fill seed cups with seed. Turn
wheel or crank until seed falls to the ground
from each cup.
7. Rotate drive gauge wheel or calibration crank
346 rotations. This is equal to one acre.
8. Check that the three seed cups have plenty of
seed coming into them.
9. Weigh metered seed. Subtract initial weight of
container. Divide by three. Multiply by the
number of openers on your drill to determine
total pounds seeded per acre. If this figure is
different than desired, set your seed rate adjustment handle accordingly.
10. When drilling, check seeding rate by noting

acres drilled, amount of seed added to small
seed box and seed level in small seeds box. If
you are seeding more or less than desired,
adjust seeding rate slightly to compensate for
field conditions.
NOTE: You may want to repeat the calibration procedure if your results vary greatly from seed rate
chart.

Fertilizer Meter Rate

Fertilizer application rates will vary with fertilizer
type, density and particle size. Relative humidity
and field conditions can also affect application
rates. The chart on page 37 is based on material
with a density of 65 pounds per cubic foot (1.04 kg/
L) and average particle size. Initially set rate according to the charts, then calibrate the drill to your
material as described below.
NOTE: For drills built after October 1, 2005, calibrate using gauge wheels or supplied calibration
crank. For drills built before October 1, 2005, calibrate using gauge wheels or order calibration crank
kit available through your Great Plains Dealer.
1. To calibrate using gauge wheels, raise drill with
tractor hydraulics so drive wheels are off the
ground. To calibrate using supplied calibration
crank, attach crank to coupler on gauge wheel
jackshaft with retaining pin. Disengage lockout
on the drive wheels.
2. Rotate drive wheels or calibration crank to see
that metering system is working properly and
free from foreign material.
23386


3. From the chart on page 37, find the setting

number for your row spacing and desired application rate. Rotate gate adjustment knob to the
number obtained from the chart.
The fertilizer rate chart is for granular fertilizer with a

density of 65 pounds per cubic foot (1.04 kg/L). If you are
applying fertilizer with a different density, use the density
conversion chart.
4. Check that gauge-wheel tires are the correct
size and properly inflated. Refer to Tire Inflation Chart, page 61.
5. Record the weight of an empty container large
enough to hold fertilizer metered for one acre.
6. Place several pounds of fertilizer over three fertilizer feed cups on outside end of drill box. Pull
fertilizer tubes off these three openers.
7. Turn gauge wheels or calibration crank a few
turns to fill feed cups with material. Continue to
turn until fertilizer drops to the ground from all
three tubes.
150-131M
8. Place a container under the three tubes to gather

metered fertilizer.
9. Turn gauge wheel or calibration crank for approximately 346 rotations (one acre). Check that the
three feed cups have plenty of fertilizer coming into
them.
10. Weigh metered material. Subtract initial weight of
the empty container. Divide by three. Multiply by
the number of openers on your drill to determine
total pounds-per-acre metered. If this figure is different than desired, reset adjustment knob accordingly.
NOTE: You may want to repeat the calibration procedure if your results vary greatly from the chart.
6/23/15
Adjustments 37
1. When drilling, check the rate by noting acres

drilled, amount of fertilizer added to the drill
and level of material in drill box. If you are applying more or less that desired, adjust the
metering rate slightly to compensate for field
conditions.

Marker Adjustments
Bleeding Marker Hydraulics
The markers must be properly bled to displace air
in the hydraulic system and for the sequence
valve to work properly. Failure to do so could
cause marker to drop quickly and cause damage
to marker voiding the warranty.
Overhead and Crushing Hazard:

Keep others away when folding or unfolding markers.
Markers may fall quickly and unexpectedly if hydraulics fail.

Check that tractor hydraulic reservoir is full before
bleeding the hydraulics. A low reservoir level may
draw air back into the system, causing jerky or uneven cylinder movements.
JIC fittings do not require high torque. JIC and O-Ring

fittings do not require sealant. Always use liquid pipe
sealant when adding or replacing pipe thread fittings.
To avoid possible danger of cracking hydraulic fittings
from overtightening, do not use plastic sealant tape.

Dual Markers with Sequence Valve

Refer to Figure 1.
1. Fold markers manually into transport position
when charging hydraulic system for the first
time.
2. Disconnect cylinder pin (1) from rod end of
cylinders and marker link arms (2). Swing
marker link arm up and out of the way.
3. Connect hoses to tractor remote hydraulic
outlets.
4. Loosen hose hydraulic fittings at rod end of
marker cylinders (3).
5. With tractor at idle speed, slowly work tractor
remote lever in the direction which would retract the cylinder.
Figure 1
14021
NOTE: Do not try to retract cylinder. The goal is to

push air from the lines leading to the cylinder. The
position of the sequence valve determines which
cylinder will react first.
6. When the air is expelled, oil will seep out
around a loosened fitting. Tighten the hose fitting.
7. Move tractor remote lever to fully extend cylinder and hold for a few seconds. This will
shift the sequence valve which will allow you
to bleed the other cylinder.
8. Repeat steps 4 through 6 for the other cylinder.
9. When the system is bled, move the tractor remote lever several times until both cylinders
stop when fully extended.
10. Reconnect cylinders to marker link arms.

Folding Speed with Sequence Valve

The marker hydraulic system is equipped with
needle valves to control how fast each marker operates. The needle valves are built into the
sequence valve body.
Refer to Figure 3. Adjust folding speed with hex
adjustment screws on the sequence valve body.
There is one adjustment screw for raising speed
(1) and one for lowering speed (2). Identify adjustment screws by markings stamped in valve body.
With tractor idling at a normal operating speed,
adjust marker folding to a safe speed. Turn adjustment screws clockwise to decrease folding speed
and counterclockwise to increase folding speed.
Excessive folding speed could damage markers
and void the warranty.

be changed by two methods.
Changing disk angle. Refer to Figure 5. To
change angle of cut, loosen two 1/2 inch bolts (1)
and rotate disk assembly. Retighten bolts.
Changing disk tip. To change the tip of the disk,
loosen two 1/2 inch bolts (2) and rotate disk assembly until marker disk is square with the
ground.
Marker Width Adjustment
To change marker width, loosen marker tube ubolt (3), see Figure 5. Slide the marker tube in or
out to desired width. Retighten u-bolt.

Seed Lok Lock Up

Optional Seed-Lok firming wheels provide additional seed-to-soil contact. The wheels are spring
loaded and do not require adjusting. In some wet
and sticky conditions the wheels may accumulate
soil.
To lock up the firming wheels, hook one end of the
chain in the opener-body hole just above the
wheel arm (1). Pull the firming-wheel arm (2) up
as high as possible and wrap the chain around the
arm. Hook the other end of the chain in a link.
Leave no slack in the chain; secure the wheel arm
in the highest position.

Seed Box Agitator

The seed box agitator is designed to stir the seed
directly above the metering cups. It is intended to
cut down on the bridging of light fluffy seeds, and
help to separate individual soybeans that become
sticky from inoculant.
NOTE: The seed box agitator will not guarantee
consistent seeding of hard to meter seeds such
as Brome Grass or bin run seed that contains
crop residue.
For lubrication points, refer to Lubrication, page

Small Seeds Attachment

The small seeds attachment is designed to meter
various small seeds. It is driven independently of
the main seed box. The small seeds box is 0.24
bushel per foot (27.7 liters/meter) with a total capacity of 2.62 bushes (92.3 liters).
The small seeds attachment is available with two
seed release point options: Y-tube release and
press wheel release.
With the Y-tube release, seed metered out of the
small seeds box is directed into the main seed
tube, and drops between the disk blades at the
bottom of the opener trench.
13734
With the press wheel release, a separate small

seed drop hose is installed on each opener. This
releases the seed just ahead of the openers
depth controlling press wheel.
