2022 Great Plains 30' Yield-Pro Air-Pro YP-3025A

With a choice of two openers and eight row spacings, the YP-30 and YP-40 Series Yield-Pro® Planters from Great Plains have the dependability and flexibility to handle any terrain, despite their size.

With a choice of two openers and eight row spacings, the YP-30 and YP-40 Series Yield-Pro® Planters from Great Plains can be almost anything the customer needs them to be! Despite their size, these 30' and 40' units have the dependability and flexibility to handle any terrain.

All YP-30 and YP-40 Planters are equipped with a choice of openers: 10HDP Series or 25 Series. Versatile 10HDP Series openers feature rear depth-gauging press wheels in a choice of three styles. Ten inches of vertical travel provided by the parallel linkage, combined with 11" of stagger between rows, make the 10HDP the perfect answer for rough fields and heavy residue. With a choice of two row spacings, 10HDP Series units are ideal for planting 7½" wheat or 10" soybeans.

The Great Plains 25 Series opener is setting a new standard for both spacing and depth control. These units are available in a variety of row spacings, including both single and twin row. Designed for sugar beet growers, Great Plains also offers a 44-foot, 25 Series model that plants in 22" rows.

Row units on these planters feature 15" 4mm disc blades that are offset 1/2" for unmatched penetration. Clear-Shot® seed tubes with either Air-Pro® seed meters, Population Max™ finger pickups, or Singulator-Plus™ meters provide excellent seed placement for uniform emergence.

Additionally, YP-30 and YP-40 Series Planters include an onboard 82- or 150-bushel poly hopper.

Features may include:

Row units are spaced at 22" on center, allowing sugar beet farmers a new level of accuracy and bulk capacity not found anywhere else.

10 large, high-flotation tires reduce pressure on the ground, down to as little as 9-11 psi depending on model.

Designed to flex in the field up to 20 degrees up and 20 degrees down. Couple that with a floating hitch and this unit can handle even the toughest terrain with ease.

Versatility describes this heavy-duty row unit. The 10HD Series opener uses 15" 4mm blades with 205 triple-lip seal bearings, cast blade separators, and Clear-Shot® seed tubes. Blades are offset by 1/2" to slice residue and form a perfect seed trench. Heavy-duty down-pressure springs are mounted on the parallel arm linkage. A choice of closing wheels is available to work well in a wide variety of soil types and conditions.

The 25 Series row unit makes narrow, singulated rows possible. Its parallel linkage design and side-depth wheels keep the row unit in the optimal planting position to provide precise seed placement to maximize yield potential. The opener’s body and ductile cast parallel arms are narrower, yet stronger, than conventional 30" openers. The 15", 4mm opener blades are offset by 1/2" for superior penetration. Cast blade separators and Clear-Shot® seed tubes provide excellent delivery of seed to the seed trench.

This simple, positive air pressure meter offers the highest level of singulation available today. It achieves uniform spacing by “dead-dropping” seed into the patented Clear-Shot® seed tube. Exhaust is discharged close to and directly towards the ground, not up into the atmosphere, earning the Bee-Friendly™ title. Gentle on seeds, it is more efficient than a vacuum meter and requires less maintenance.
