What the 606NT is used for
The 606NT was designed to seed small grains, soybeans, legumes, pasture mixes, and cover crops into worked ground or existing residue. Its compact end-wheel pull-type design fits smaller tractors and tight fields while providing the penetration needed for many no-till situations.
Owners value the 606NT for its durable no-till hardware, compact transport footprint, and usefulness beyond row-crop farms. Optional end weight brackets can add up to 600 pounds when soil penetration is difficult.
Why the Great Plains 606NT stands out
The 606NT is notable because it brings a genuine coulter-and-double-disc no-till system into a 6-foot drill format. Its 7.5-inch spacing, press-wheel seed-firming system, and Great Plains parts support make it a respected compact no-till choice.
Buying a used Great Plains 606NT
Measure coulter and opener disc wear, check each disc and press-wheel bearing, and inspect seed boots, seed tubes, gauge wheels, and closing or press-wheel assemblies. Pay close attention to the coulter pivots, down-pressure springs, transport wheels, chains, sprockets, drive components, and seed cups. Confirm whether weight brackets, the small-seed box, and other options are present, since weight and capacity vary with equipment.
