HOPPER BOX DESIGNIndividual metering wheels and mixing chambers provide equalized and consistent flow to each row, even on hills and slopes. The angled hopper walls provide an even flow of seed to the metering door, ensuring a constant supply of seed.
COLOR-CODED METER WHEELSChange out the metering wheels to accommodate different types of seeds. BLACK – Small seeds, such as annual rye, tillage radish, and alfalfa. RED – Small to medium seeds, such as cereal rye, wheat, and oats. WHITE* – Soybeans and field peas. YELLOW* – High-volume fertilizer. (*Additional options available from Gandy Company.)
ELECTRIC SOLENOIDSProvide section control on each half of the machine to avoid wasting seed by double-seeding.
HYDRAULICALLY-DRIVEN FANAchieves even seed distribution across the entire machine by delivering seed to individual diffuser plates that disperse seed laterally and downward in even, 30" bands.
TURBO-SEEDER CONTROLLERThe controller is an electrically-operated, in-cab unit that individually controls the left and right meter shafts or turns off both metering units. It also monitors air pressure and metering shaft rotations.
ZERO-MAX® METER DRIVE12-volt, 25-amp meter offers infinite rate adjustments. This motor controls the speed of the metering wheels, which, in combination with the ground speed, determines the application rate.
