STOCKSAG OFFERS EXPANDED RANGE
PALMERSTON NORTH – (25 February 2011)-StocksAG are pleased to add the Turbo Jet 10 outlet model for use in high rate and/or wide machine applications to the already popular eight outlet Turbo Jet model.
Turbo Jet pneumatic seeders are versatile and accurate with the ability to meter and spread most small seeds up to 8 metres wide. Suitable for attachment to cultivation equipment of all types such as grass harrows, stubble cultivators, rollers and short discs etc for one pass seeding. Ideally suited to folding or rigid equipment, Turbo Jet will work up to 30 metres from the 12 volt power source.
The versatile Turbo Jet can be used for broadcasting or band sowing from the 8 or 10 outlets and can be doubled to 16 or 20 for the ultimate broadcast effect, or individually blanked off to band sow.
The powerful 12 volt motor drives fluted feed rollers that meter seeds into the individual air tubes. High capacity electric fans ensure a reliable spread, and the versatile feed mechanism easily adapts for different rates and products, and a selectable agitator prevents difficult grass seeds from bridging.
Available in either the simple, low cost Vari-Speed manual dial control configuration or the sophisticated Wizard radar based speed related control system to automatically maintain the application rate in proportion to forward speed changes. Both systems allow application rates to be changed on-the-move.
The Wizard system effectively offers the sophistication and high accuracy of a large system drill in a compact and highly flexible unit.
High capacity feed rollers are supplied to accurately meter grass at full reseeding rates up to 40 kgs/hectare at 6m wide and 12 kph. Other seeds such as clover, mustard, turnips and forage brassicas etc can be sown at very low rates down to below 2 kgs/hectare.
The large 240 litre capacity hopper holds 85 kg of grass seed and has a powerful agitator driven by its own electric motor to prevent grass seed bridging.
Broadcasters
The Fan Jet series of broadcasters has been further enhanced with the addition of the Fan Jet Pro and Mini 240. All Fan Jets are available in the formats ‘Pro’ and ‘Mini’, and whilst the well proven Pro series offers all the benefits of a compact spreader for grass seed to slug pellets, the Mini series offers a far greater control of spread width and accurate metering of the product.
The combination of variable disc speed and adjustable deflectors make the Fan Jet Mini the perfect tool for the application of clover behind a drill.
