The angled hopper walls provide an even flow of seed to the metering door, ensuring a constant supply of seed.
COLOR-CODED METER WHEELSBLACK – 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.
DIFFUSER PLATEDistributes the seed laterally and downward in even, 30" bands.
EASY-FILL HOPPERA slide-away cover simplifies and speeds up filling. The high-capacity hopper is ideal for even large-acreage operations. Kit includes a ladder and walkboard for easy access to the hopper.
ELECTRIC SOLENOIDSProvide section control on each half of the machine to avoid wasting seed on double-seeding.
HOSE KITThe Turbo-Seeder has 12 or 16 diffusers and 1-1/4" diameter hose for unrestricted air and seed flow.
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 bands.
LADDER AND WALKBOARDFor easy access to the seed hopper without climbing over the machine.
TURBO-SEEDER CONTROLLERThe TS controller is an electrically-operated, in-cab unit that provides control of the left and right meter shafts individually, as well as a master switch to turn 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.
