Tom Evans, Great Plains marketing manager, says th e splitter unit can be hooked or unhooked in approximately five minutes. The corn planter can be equipped with liquid fertilizer. The center pivot hitch, which carries the Great Plains splitter unit, keeps it tracking on curves and contours. Evans expects many of them to be used to no-till soybeans into standing cornstalks, where residue clearance is important. Corn is metered by finger pickup meters made by Great Plains.
Dealers can provide brush meters for soybeans.
Each hopper holds two bushels. Because separate splitter units, like this on e and White's, don't see as much action as the corn planter they're attached to, some farmers probably won't have to replace the splitter unit as often as they replac e planters.
