Great Plains CPH

Precision seeding for conservation tillage systems

The Great Plains CPH (Conser-Till) series is designed for producers who utilize minimum tillage and require a machine capable of performing in heavy residue conditions. Unlike traditional grain drills, the CPH combines the ruggedness of a disc opener with the finesse required for precise seed placement across varying field topographies.

Why CPH is a staple in modern operations

• Independent Row Unit Movement: Featuring a parallel linkage design, each opener independently follows the ground contour, ensuring consistent seeding depth even in fields with uneven, minimally tilled surfaces.
• Residue Management: The integrated coulter system efficiently slices through tough harvest residues. By preparing a clean furrow before the seed is placed, the CPH prevents residue pinning, which is essential for uniform emergence.
• Adjustable Down Pressure: The ability to modulate the pressure on the openers allows farmers to switch between crops or adapt to varying soil moisture levels on the fly, maintaining optimal seed-to-soil contact.

In practice, the Great Plains CPH is frequently deployed in operations where time is of the essence. Whether seeding after a light discing or into standing stubble, the machine excels at creating a firm, moist seedbed. The depth control remains stable even when moving from soft, worked soil to firmer, unworked sections of the field.

Durability and Maintenance

Operational efficiency is at the heart of the CPH design. Built for high-acreage use, its straightforward mechanical adjustments mean less downtime during the critical planting window. The ease of maintenance allows farm teams to keep the drill in peak condition without requiring complex service tools. For farms looking to optimize their cost-per-hectare, the CPH offers a reliable, no-nonsense solution that guarantees a consistent stand, season after season.
