Features
PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE IN THE FIELD
The P2185 disc drill is available in 30 and 40 ft. (9.1 and 12.2 m), with 7.5, 10 or 15 in. (19.2, 25.4, or 38.1 cm) row spacing. The new frame design offers exceptional weight distribution that is ideal for many different crops and soil types. In addition, the narrow V-shape envelope adds additional stability for safe and convenient transport to and from the field.
OPTI-ROW™
- Controls gauge wheel ground contact force
- Continuously monitors and automatically adjusts hydraulic pressure for varying ground conditions
- System utilizes load cells on the depth control handles, electro-hydraulic control valves and control software
PARALLEL LINK DESIGN
Industry-leading patented parallel link design provides even seed placement at higher speeds and on rougher terrains. It ensures best-in-class emergence in a wide variety of soil, seeding depths, and field conditions. The low maintenance design allows farmers to be more efficient - spending more time where it counts, in the field.
DEPTH CONTROL
For a customer who demands high productivity, look no further than the P2185 disc drill. The true 0-3.5 in. (0-88.9 mm) depth settings accommodate all seeding depths. The single-handed adjustment without a manual lock makes the P2185 the easiest depth adjustment on the market.
ACCURATE SEED PLACEMENT
The accurate placement of seeds is ideal for small grains such as wheat, barley, rice, soybeans and canola. The unique scraper and opener geometry allows for consistent seeding depth across the entire opener operation range. There is no need for a seed shelf, as the seed can be placed in the bottom of the trench. High mounting of the seed tube ensures reduced wear, long life, and reduced plugging over the competition. The 18 in. (457.2 mm) disc cuts cleanly through the heaviest of crop residues to ensure optimal seed-to-soil contact.
ALL-NEW CLOSING SYSTEM
The P2185 disc drill comes standard with indexable angle settings, allowing operators to set for effective seed trench closing, no matter the conditions —from conventional to no-till. The hollow center reduces compaction while providing excellent seed-to-soil contact. There is up to 100 lbs. (45.6 kg) of available pressure – with three convenient pressure settings of 60, 70 and 100 lbs. (27.2, 31.8 and 45.6 kg). It maintains a smooth field finish in the softest conditions yet can also be adjusted to properly close the seed trench in the absolute heaviest soils.
SECTIONAL CONTROL
The P2185 allows you to reduce input costs and increase yields by eliminating overlap on turn rows and odd-shaped fields. Four-section control is standard. This drill allows you to shut off drill sections with the push of a button, or automatically via GPS. It also ensures that the intended rate is applied to all portions of the field.
UNMATCHED DURABILITY COMBINED WITH REDUCED MAINTENANCE COSTS
P2000 Series disc drills set a new higher standard when it comes to durability, which is the key to reducing your downtime and maintenance costs. How tough are your soil and field conditions? Whether you have rocks, sandy soils or corn stalks, wear and tear on P2000 Series disc drills is minimized in unforgiving environments.
Take a look and see how New Holland has given careful attention to the durable details of these drills:
- Earth Metal® formulated boron steel disc blades are designed to provide unmatched strength and durability in all conditions.
- Each opener features a long-life disc scraper with integral tungsten carbide wear components.
- The entire row unit is built tough, including 1.25 in. (31.75 mm) heavy-duty main pivot spindles and pivot pins with oil-impregnated copper iron alloy bushings for unrivaled durability.
- Hardened wing pins with replaceable bushings
- Sealed double-row main bearing with integral triple lip seals and external shield
- Row unit cast frame, link and adjustment handle
- Heavy-duty packer wheel
- High-strength chrome silicon springs
- High-quality, powder-coat paint finish
FRAME ACCESSIBILITY
Open frame design combined with larger bracing members allows for easy accessibility and maintenance across the drill. This design also allows for convenient depth adjustment on the center section of the drill frame.
MOUNTED SEED TANK
The P2185 features a mounted seed tank. It is specifically designed for easy access to metering assembly for adjusting, cleanout and servicing. It includes a non-pressurized tank, eliminating air leaks. The tank evens the weight distribution across the machine and adds maneuverability around corners while transporting equipment. A large platform with easy accessibility and a large tank opening makes loading a breeze. The 30 ft. (9.1 m) model offers a 110-bushel capacity, while the 40 ft. (12.2 m) model offers a 140-bushel capacity.
BEST WING FLEX IN THE INDUSTRY
The P2185 model offers the best wing flex in the industry. Its flexible frame provides a total of 25° total flex – 10° flex up and 15° flex down. This feature allows for consistent accurate seeding placement across the width of the drill. Flexibility also disperses frame stress for more durability than traditional welded joints. Where the frame flexes, durable, self-lubricating joints with chrome pins and polyurethane pads add lasting performance unmatched in the industry.
BEST-IN-CLASS FLOTATION
A high flotation walking beam tandem axle is standard on all models. It features walking beam tandem axles on both the front and the rear mainframe of the 30 ft. (9.1 m) and 40 ft. (12.2 m) units. This unique feature provides maximum flotation and ideal weight distribution across the entire width of the drill for the toughest field conditions. In addition, this axle allows for better ground following and better emergence on wheel tracks.
NEW SEED METER & DRIVE SYSTEM
The P2185 mounted tank model includes a new seed meter. It offers fine, medium, and coarse rollers that cover all crops, easy cleanout serviceability, and quick change meters for added versatility. The new drive system offers variable rate drive standard, exceptional population control accuracy, programmable population settings in-cab for easy switching between rates, and prescription seeding capability on all mounted units.
MONITOR SYSTEM
The P2185 offers ISO11783 Electronics compatible with IntelliView™ monitors. Its convenient one-page display shows all that is necessary for operation, and its new flow sensors provide population estimates for larger seeded crops. A bar graph provides target rate, limits, and blockage information, while the GPS or radar speed inputs provide accurate seeding rates.
IN-CAB DOWN-PRESSURE CONTROL
In-cab hydraulic down pressure adjustment is standard equipment, allowing operators to make on-the-go adjustments without leaving the seat by using the IntelliView™ display. Three convenient presets help maintain ideal row-unit down pressure for changing field conditions. (ISO11783 electronics compatible with IntelliView monitors).
CONVENIENT & NARROW TRANSPORT
The narrow transport width on the P2185 allows for easy transport on narrow roads or bridges. Along with the narrow width, the design offers excellent stability during transport, making it easy to safely transport equipment on public roads. The transport width for the 30 ft. (9.1 m) model is 12 x 13 ft. (3.7 x 4 m). The 40 ft. (12.2 m) model is 18.5 x 13.8 ft. (5.6 x 4.2 m), making it easy to transport and maneuver around buildings.
