Features

5000 SERIES ROW UNIT
The 5000 Series row unit utilizes ductile cast parallel arms for long-term stability. The 15", 4mm blades are offset 1/2" to slice residue and form a perfect seed trench. Blades turn on 205 triple-lip sealed bearings to ensure long life and accurate seed depth. Options include unit-mounted Turbo or fluted coulters, row cleaners, and seed firmers.

GREAT PLAINS ISO SOLUTIONS SUITE
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.

180-DEGREE WING FOLD
Wings fold 180 degrees to provide a narrow transport width of under 10'. This fold design is simple, yet strong, and removes the complexity associated with units that fold by lifting and twisting.

5000 SERIES AIR-PRO® METER
Offers the highest level of singulation and achieves uniform spacing by “dead-dropping” the seed into the trench.

CHOOSE A PRESS WHEEL
Choose (l to r) wedge wheels that enhance the closing action by pinching the seed trench together or standard 1"x12" double V wheels for all-around performance. Spider wheels with a drag chain are the most aggressive option for closing the seed trench.

HEMP SEED DISC
New, 5-cell and 30-cell hemp seed disc that meters seed accurately.

HITCH CHOICES
Four choices of hitches are offered, including Cat. 2/3 crossbar drawbar, cast single strap, or regular single strap.

IRC OR GROUND DRIVE
Choose either Individual Row Control (IRC) or ground drive with a contact wheel. IRC allows variable-rate seeding and consistent in-row seed spacing, even on tight turns.

LOWER HORSEPOWER REQUIREMENTS
The PL5500 requires a lower horsepower (115-drawbar minimum) tractor with three selective control valves and 16 gallons (61L) per minute of flow, making it compatible with many tractors.

NARROW 9' 9" TRANSPORT
The narrow transport width offers producers increased maneuverability and easier road transport when moving from field to field.

OPTIONAL LIQUID OR DRY FERTILIZER
Can be equipped to handle 300 gal. of liquid or 53 cu. ft. of dry fertilizer.

SUREFORCE BY AGLEADER
Now available with SureForce by AgLeader! SureForce responds instantly to changing conditions, giving each row the exact pressure needed to plant at the ideal depth.

OPTIONAL MARKERS
Flat-fold markers help keep planting on track with straight, even rows.

OPTIONAL GAUGE WHEEL SCRAPERS
Remove soil and residue buildup from depth gauge wheels.

OPTIONAL COULTERS & ROW CLEANERS
Effectively cut and remove trash for superior seed placement.

OPTIONAL 7" OR 12.1" MONITOR
Choose between two Topcon monitor sizes.
