Designed for the Delta, the PL5205 is a 40' mounted stack-fold planter that excels in wide row applications. This 12-row system can accommodate a variety of crops and is available in 36”, 38”, and 40” spacings on single- or twin-row configurations. The exclusive side-shift option allows operators to switch from twin- to single-row in under an hour.
To efficiently cover more acres in a day, the PL5205 is available in a 50-bu. bulk-fill hopper or individual row hoppers. Producers can also choose from a traditional 3-section mechanical ground drive, a 3-section variable rate-ready hydraulic drive, or electric individual row control (IRC) drive. The PL5205 is ISOBUS-compatible and provides producers with simple, practical monitor technology.
Like the rest of the PL-Series planters, the PL5205 utilizes the 5005 series Air-Pro® meter, offering the highest level of singulation on the market. The 5005 Series opener achieves uniform spacing by “dead-dropping” the seed directly into the trench using the Clear Shot® seed tube. The 5005 Series row unit offers long-term row unit stability, accurate seed depth, and a variety of press wheel options.
With a clean frame design, producers can enjoy high visibility and maneuverability in the field and on the road. A shortened 3-point attachment improves tractor leverage, weight balance, and overall center of gravity. Lift-assist is an option for tractors with a category 3 hitch, though rear lift-assist is not required for tractors with a category 4 hitch.
The PL5205 is a highly accurate seeding solution with practical technology, making quick, efficient work of planting for Delta producers.
PL5205 Features & Benefits
5000 SERIES ROW UNIT
This design utilizes ductile cast parallel arms for long-term row unit stability. The 15", 4mm blades are offset 1/2" to form a perfect seed trench. Beginning in 2025, new models will feature new 5005 Series row units.
GREAT PLAINS ISO SOLUTIONS SUITE
The Great Plains ISO Solutions Suite delivers a simplified and universal ISOBUS-based interface solution that includes plug-and-play setup without the need for expensive aftermarket unlocks and subscriptions; access to remote support; and terminal extension capabilities from the field. This solution can be used with all Great Plains ISOBUS-compatible products.
3-DRIVE OPTIONS
Choose between ground drive, hydraulic drive, or Individual Row Control (IRC) for turn compensation and prescription map planting.
3-PT OR 2-PT WITH LIFT ASSIST
PL5200 planters can be optioned with either full 3-point mounting for tractors large enough to handle the weight or 2-point mounted with castoring lift assist wheels to help with the lifting and flotation.
EXCLUSIVE HITCH OFFSET
The optional side-shift feature helps keep the row units centered on top of the beds, yet gives twin-row models the ability to convert between single and twin row spacings in under an hour.
ON-BOARD SEED DELIVERY OPTIONS
The PL5200 planter offers a choice of on-row individual hoppers or bulk seed with air delivery. The 50-bushel bulk hopper is located close to the tractor to reduce the tractor’s 3-point lifting requirements.
SIMPLE SEED DELIVERY
Seed distribution on bulk models is handled by a venturi system without any moving parts. This ensures reliability and makes cleanout easy.
SUREFORCE BY AGLEADER
Now available with SureForce by AgLeader! SureForce responds instantly to changing conditions, giving each row the exact pressure needed to plant at the ideal depth.
OPTIONAL CAMERA
ISOBUS-camera kits help producers see surroundings.
OPTIONAL SCALES
Verify seed usage to help confirm seeding rates and maximize efficiency.
OPTIONAL ROW-MOUNTED COULTER
Inline coulters aid in row unit penetration and cut trash ahead of opener disc blades.
7" XD or 12.1" XD+ Monitor
Choose between two Topcon monitor sizes.
