25 Series Row Unit Some innovations are simply timeless… which is certainly the case with the Great Plains 25 Series Opener. The 25 Series Row Unit was designed to plant more accurately, last longer, and be easier to maintain than the competition. Its parallel linkage design keeps the row unit in the optimal planting position to provide precise seed placement to maximize yield potential. The opener’s body and cast iron parallel arms are narrower, yet stronger, than conventional 30" openers. The narrow profile allows this row unit to plant twin-row crops with each pair only 8" apart. It can also...
