With the exclusive Max-Mix™ shank pattern, heavy-duty shank options, and five choices of rear finishing attachments, the 8000 Series Field Cultivator from Great Plains is equipped to create a level seedbed that promotes moisture conservation and seed germination.
Featuring a full 24" (61 cm) of underframe clearance, the Field Cultivator has a single-pole tongue on floating hitch models for better balance and tighter turns. The constant-level hitch design is ideal for flatter ground, while the floating hitch option enhances the unit’s overall flexibility, resulting in consistent cultivation regardless of the field’s terrain. The Max-Mix shank pattern enhances fertilizer and manure incorporation, spreads residue evenly, reduces windrowing, and helps eliminate chemical streaking. For better soil movement, shank spacing throughout the machine, especially around tires, has been improved so that no shanks are closer than 28" (71 cm) in any of the four rows.
For enhanced durability, heavy wheel hubs are used in all locations on all models. Heavy hinges on both the inside and outside wings ensure that the folding system is both smooth and reliable.
