PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

by Gerry Bourgault,

P. E n g .

Bourgault is continuing to offer new, industry-leading technology to make the large, modern farmer more efficient and productive than ever before. The new 3320 provides a good example of Bourgaults development efforts. The 3320 PHD offers the most advanced seed placement technology in the industry. It is available in three models: 1) 3320QDA, 2) 3320XTC and 3) 3320SE. The 3320, equipped with the QDA (Quick Depth Adjust) feature, allows you to adjust the

seeding depth in a few minutes, rather than taking up close to an hour, which is typically the case with a large, independent opener air hoe drill.

Because of the unique geometry found on the 3320QDA, rather than adjusting the setting of each seed opener to change the seeding depth, changes are made to the frame height, which in turn adjusts the seeding depth. On the 3320QDA, changing seeding depth takes you only 3 or 4 minutes instead of 50 minutes, which is generally the case on a 75-foot independent opener drill. If it takes 50 minutes to change seeding depth to be able to see whether or not a different depth is better and only 3 hours for you to seed the entire field, because of the constant urgency to complete seeding, often depth changes are not made if you are unsure whether or not a depth change would indeed improve seed placement. If the seeding depth change is made, and you subsequently determine that it produces less than ideal placement, now the depth has to be reset back to the original setting, which takes another 50 minutes. In that time, you could have seeded more than 80 acres! However, if the seeding depth is too great, time-to-emergence increases and plant stands are generally reduced. If the seeding depth is too shallow, some of the plants may become stranded in dry soil, which can cause major problems with low plant numbers, timeto-maturity, weeds and ultimately, yield. The bottom line is that over the long run, compromises to seed placement will cost you money; in some years, a lot of money. The

technology developed for the 3320QDA allows you to avoid having to make seeding depth compromises along with providing the most precise seed placement in the industry. Additionally, all 3320s feature hydraulically adjustable packing pressure, which is likely the second most important factor for obtaining proper emergence. Over the long run, the technology found on the 3320QDA will increase yields, crop quality and reduce time-to-maturity providing you with best available bottom line. The 3320XTC (eXtra Terrain Contouring) features enhanced contouring capabilities where terrain changes are sharp and numerous. If many of your fields include countless sharp hills and draws, the 3320XTC may be the answer. Although the 3320XTC does not allow seeding depth changes to be made by changing the frame height, as does the 3320QDA, its spring loaded depth adjustment system makes setting the seeding depth very easy and convenient. When it comes to independent disk coulter drill technology, Bourgault offers the 3710 with its patented walking axle coulter arm technology. The 3710 provides unprecedented and unmatched seed placement capabilities. When compared to a conventional, fixed location gauge wheel design, the walking axle design averages out localized

surface variations to reduce the number of seeds that are deposited above and below the optimum seeding depth. Most simply stated, when you have more seeds deposited at the optimum depth, your chances of maximizing yields increase. Bourgault has also released the 7950 Air Seeder cart with 950 bushels of total tank capacity. Besides being large, this unit is equipped with the latest innovations in air seeder cart technology. As you review this catalogue, you will discover that Bourgault is offering a host of industry-leading technologies that can increase your bottom line. However, what you may not appreciate from the catalogue is Bourgaults obsession with quality and durability. Bourgault broke into the agricultural equipment marketplace in 1974, by offering a cultivator that was guaranteed to outlast all competitors by 50%, and guaranteed to require 50% less maintenance and fewer repair parts. Since then, Bourgault has consistently developed and manufactured tillage and seeding products that delivered on this guarantee. If you were to purchase Bourgault equipment, you would find that Bourgaults obsession with quality and durability is now stronger than ever.

M A I N TA I N N A R ROW ROW S PAC I N G

Many farmers with competitors seeding systems are forced to deal with residue bunching and plugging, and the inevitable uneven crop emergence that results. There has been some who promote seeding with side-banding systems such as dual-knife or double-shoot openers on 12" rows or greater. Producers must be aware that side-band openers used on wider row spacings endanger the seedbed with excessive soil disturbance, reduced seedbed utilization, and increased risk of fertilizer damage, especially when used with variable rate control.

As with the original, the Series 3320 PHD offers outstanding residue clearance in managed field residue. Features such as a seed-only opener on each shank, edge-on shank design, and residue cutting MRB coulters provide excellent trash flow in challenging conditions without having to compromise seedbed utilization for a wider row spacing. The success of operating at optimal row spacings is proven by the fact that over 90% of the industry leading 3310 PHD seeding systems were purchased with 10" seed spacing.

REDUCED HYDRAULIC FLOW PACKER OPTIONS FOR THE 3320 PHD

You have full electricover-hydraulic control of packing & opener force from the seat of your tractor. Set packing force at a low 70 lb up to over 200 lb of force. One click of the pressure control toggle will adjust system pressure by 50 psi, which translates into about 3.5 lb of packing force for the 3320XTC, and about 5 lb of packing force for the 3320QDA and 3320SE. The hydraulic configuration on the 3320 PHD efficiently utilizes the tractors hydraulic system, resulting in minimal flow during the seeding operation. New for the 3320 PHD is the incorporation of a 1-" diameter hydraulic cylinder on both variations of seed openers. These cylinders are " diameter smaller than found on the 3310 PHD, and will reduce hydraulic requirements by up to 40%. This leads to improved lift times in the headlands.

It is critical to match your opener with the right packer wheel to suit your requirements.

The 6-ply 4.8" pneumatic packer (with tube) can be adjusted from 12 to 50 psi to meet a wide range of seeding conditions with various openers. (not shown) The 4.5" V-Style semi-pneumatic provides a more aggressive, narrow profile with excellent mud shedding characteristics, and is commonly used with narrow openers. (left) The 4.5" semi-pneumatic provides a wide rounded packing profile and is typically matched with a " to 2" wide opener. (middle) The 5.4" semi-pneumatic provides a wide rounded packing profile and is typically matched with a 2" to 4" wide opener. (right)

Please note that these are general guidelines and may not suit specific requirements for every operation.

For every inch that the packer wheel moves, the seed opener will move " (refer to page 7). This feature dampens opener movement, providing consistent seeding depth even when seeding at an angle to last years furrows, or through aggressive field residue such as corn stalks. The forgiveness of the 2-to-1 also provides greater opener stability at higher seeding speeds and delivers better seed placement if there is mud build-up on the packer tires as compared to competitive independent seeding units. With the PHD Seed Opener Assembly, you can push the seeding envelope and still achieve consistent seed placement results.

The PHD Seed Opener Assembly, in combination with the heavy construction of the 3320 frame, delivers excellent soil penetration force when required. As harder areas of a field, such as sprayer or combine tracks are encountered, the PHD trailing arm design maintains very consistent opener penetration, and packer wheel force. This greatly minimizes the need for on-the-go packer adjustment for localized areas of compaction.

Dont beat your equipment (or your back) up! The Bourgault 3320 PHD provides the best field finish in the independent depth hoe drill market. A smoother field finish means less bouncing in the sprayer, or the combine, and allows you to get every bushel of short or lodged crops more easily.

The 3320QDA frame is hydraulically adjusted. Its adjusted position is maintained with a shim assembly. Hydraulic/shim assemblies are located on both the QDA's front caster wheels and rear carrier wheels.

Independent Hoe Drill Openers can maintain a seeding depth independently of the frame, but the operator must adjust every opener when changing seeding depth. Air Hoe Drill The producer needs only to adjust the frame height to set seeding depth, but each opener is fixed across the frame. The Bourgault 3320QDA The 3320QDA offers the best of both worlds. You have the precise seed placement of an independent system, along with an effective range of quick depth adjustment previously found only with solid frame hoe drills.

T H E I M P O R TA N C E O F SETTING THE CORRECT SEEDING DEPTH

Every farmer knows that achieving the right seeding depth for the given crop and current conditions is critical for optimal germination. The hassle of setting an independent depth seed drill encourages producers to find a close-enough seeding depth that is an average of the actual required seeding depth. Bourgault recognized this trend as a detriment to the producer's bottom line, and endeavored to offer a better solution. The result is the 3320QDA, the only independent hoe drill with convenient and effective seed depth setting.

Raise frame to take pressure off to allow placement of shims.

HOW IS QUICK DEPTH ADJUST POSSIBLE? This feature is made possible by the 2-to-1 contouring ratio of the PHD Seed Opener Assembly. A change in frame height will produce a change of half as much in seeding depth (refer to page 7). To capitalize on this, the 3320QDA is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder and shim assembly on each front caster wheel and rear carrier wheel. To set the seed depth at the frame, these cylinders are extended to lift the frame, and shims are slid in or out of position. Once the shims are set, the cylinders are retracted back into operational position. The 3320QDA provides ten shims, each shim equals 1/8" of seed depth adjustment for 1-" of total quick depth change range. Seeding depth can still be set on the PHD Seed Opener Assembly to achieve the optimal location for best use of the quick depth range, and for adjustment of individual openers that operate in wheel tracks.

A " change of seeding depth for the opener will produce a " depth change for the MRBs. Change in depth for the MRBs is typically not as critical as with seed openers, but should still be realized by the operator. The convenience and efficiency of seed depth setting with the 3320QDA provides farmers an option to help them better achieve the critical job of setting the required seed depth for the given conditions.

Strong, well-designed cast components resist bending and breaking, even when conditions are tough. You dont have to worry about bent seed arms not tracking.

The 1:1 contour ratio of the XTC Opener Assembly is designed to deliver excellent contouring characteristics as the full parallel linkage allows the XTC opener to follow the field independent of the frame (refer to page 7). The packer wheel and seed opener travel in unison for precise results and if the frame wheels sink, in soft soils, the depth will not be affected. The contour ratio is not the only aspect of a highly contour-able seed drill. The distance between the seed opener and packer wheel (#6) is slightly shorter than what is found on the 2-to-1 PHD seed opener. This tighter placement will help achieve consistent seed CONTOUR R AT I O placement even with sharp changes in topography.

1:1

To adjust the depth, simply squeeze the handle on the opener adjustment and rotate the indicator to the new position.

OPTIMIZED INDEPENDENT SEED DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

Choice of Packer Wheel


To suit your seeding situation, Bourgault offers a range of 4 packer wheel options: a 4.8" pneumatic, a 4.5" v-style semipneumatic, a 4.5" round semi-pneumatic, and a 5.4" round semi-pneumatic.

10

Land Following
For every 1" of vertical movement of the packer wheel, the seed opener also travels 1" thereby maintaining seed depth accuracy as the XTC opener seeds through rough terrain that varies by plus or minus 8" over the depth of the drill.

Precision farming requires seed depth changes to match crop type and field conditions. Bourgault has optimized the seed depth adjustment on the oneto-one XTC seeding arm to maximize both efficiency and accuracy. Simply squeeze the handle on the opener adjustment and rotate the indicator to the new position. The notched profile and guide will help the operator with consistent and repeatable guide settings. You can be confident that the extra time invested in seed depth setting has been minimized with this well engineered depth adjust system.

MID ROW BANDERS

Bourgault Industries Ltd.

MID ROW BANDERS

25 Since Bourgault released the first series of Mid Row Banders in 1997, thousands of farmers have realized the benefits of applying nitrogen mid row in a one-pass operation. This success is underlined by the fact that when updating their seeding system, the vast majority choose to continue with Mid Row Banders.

ONE-PASS SEEDING

MRBs are the only one-pass seeding method that maintains seedbed integrity and provides ideal fertilizer placement. Truly Mid Row Banders have revolutionized one-pass seeding as the most value adding product on the farm. The goal behind onepass seeding is to apply all of the seed and fertilizer requirements in a single operation without the seeding operation itself incurring risk to the potential crop. Key factors to consider are: Seedbed Integrity Never compromise seedbed quality for a onepass seeding operation. The quality of the seedbed is paramount to ensuring the best start for the crop. Ideal Fertilizer Placement Nitrogen fertilizer, in its initial form, is very toxic to living organisms. The nitrogen must go through a process of nitrification in order to be usable by the plants. A one-pass seeding operation must not allow the seed to be endangered by nitrogen fertilizer. To learn more about the benefits of MRBs go to: www.bourgault.com

MRS II
Available on:
the Series 3320 PHDs and the 5810 AHD on 12" spacing
The Mid Row Shank II provides one-pass fertilizer application with an edge-on style shank. The MRSII is an ideal option if residue clearance is not a primary concern for your farming operation. It also provides the critical mid row placement of nitrogen with less moving components than the coulter-style banders.

The MRBIII fertilizer application system is the most advanced, and durable mid row banding system offered by Bourgault. The extensive use of well-engineered cast components, convenient depth adjustment, and hydraulic engagement means more time for you in the field seeding, and less time spent adjusting, or maintaining.

Floating Carbide Scraper


The floating inside scraper can be adjusted to ensure a good furrow is maintained and the coulter stays clean in a wide range of seeding conditions. The carbide edge will provide long service, even in abrasive soils.

Hydraulic Actuation
MRBIIIs are raised & lowered hydraulically. This feature makes the MRBIII convenient to lock up when not in use.

Double-Tapered Roller Bearing Hub


You can expect a long service life with the high capacity hub and spindle assembly. A triple-lip seal protects the hub bearing, and allows you to over-grease without seal damage. The bolton hub and spindle can be quickly removed for exchange or service.

Parallel Link Arrangement


The MRB body is mounted on parallel arms for a consistent disk attack angle and seed boot/liquid tube orientation regardless of its operating depth.

Simple & Easy Depth Adjustment


Shims on the hydraulic cylinder are used for setting the depth. (one " shim = " depth) Extra shims are stored on the top mounting pin for convenient access.

Closer Tine or Retaining Wheel Option


Option A - The outside closer tine is designed to help retain soil, and hold some residue against the disk during operation to clean the outside of the coulter so that it will cut a clean groove in the soil. Option B - If additional soil retention is desired (e.g. NH3 application) then consider the retaining wheel option. An adjustable torsion spring maintains down pressure of the floating rubber cleaner / retainer wheel.

Maintenance-Free Coulter Arm Pivots


The MRB arm pivots on 1" diameter nitride pins and 3" long greaseless composite fibre bushings. The nitride pivot pins will stand up for the life of the seeding system, even in hard or stony soils.

Fine Scraper Position Adjust (Behind Cast Mount)


The position of the scraper relative to the edge of the disk can be adjusted in fine 1/8" increments using plastic shims located on the scraper shaft. This fine adjustment ensures you have optimal results for the life of the disk.

Coarse Scraper Position Adjust


Loosen the mounting bolts to adjust the whole scraper/boot assembly. This allows you to maintain the optimal scraper-todisk and combo-boot positions.

HYDRAULIC METER DRIVE

Reducing compaction is important to ensure that germination and plant growth is not impeded. When fully loaded, the 7950 can weigh up to 99,000 lb so compaction is kept down by the use of large 850/80 R38 tires. The tire provides a large footprint, especially when operating at an amazingly low 15 psi inflation pressure, front and rear. The combination of very large 90" diameter tires, and low ground pressure gives the 7950 very good floatation and minimizes draft loads, key factors when operating a tank this size.

The 7950 Air Seeder incorporates a new hydraulic metering system capable of driving up to 5 metering augers. The hydraulic drive motors provide near instant rate changes, an important feature to maximize the benefits of a variable rate seeding operation.

VARIABLE SPEED TRANSMISSION

L E A D I N G T H E WAY

Application rate can be adjusted for each metering auger at the push of a button from the tractor cab. An electric actuator mounted on each transmission remotely adjusts the rate setting when activated by the operator. A second control panel is located on the tank for convenient rate setting during calibration.
GENTLE PRODUCT DELIVERY

The heavy-duty design of the Variable Speed Transmission ensures that precise metering rates will be maintained.

The Bourgault product delivery system is designed for accurate distribution and low incidence of seed damage. Quick inspection manifolds with convex polyurethane internal surfaces direct the material to the next set of distribution lines. Bourgault runs a battery of tests to determine the consistency, or the coefficient of variation for each air seeder kit. Independent testing has proven that the Bourgault air seeder kit design meets or exceeds industry standards.
Bourgault Industries Ltd.

Ground drive metering system. Infinite adjust allows you to lock in the exact rate. Each transmission is protected by a selfresetting torque limiting clutch. In case of electrical problems, transmissions can be easily converted to manual adjustment to ensure no downtime.

The Leading 6000 Series Air Seeder offers all the versatility, reliability and durability of the 6000 Series tow behind models. The superior design and balance results in approximately 8600 lb of hitch weight for a fully loaded L6450 or L6550ST air seeder.
PROXIMIT Y SENSOR AUTO CLUTCH SWITCH

TA N K C L E A N O U T I S A B R E E Z E

Customers who have moved away from competitors air seeders comment on how tank cleanout is so much easier, quicker, and less messy with a Bourgault. With the Bourgault system, the producer just has to remove two bolts holding the sump plate, and product can drop neatly into the auger hopper.

Equip your seeding unit with an optional auto clutch switch for automatic control of the air seeder when turning in the headlands. The switch is solidstate, eliminating any possible issues due to dust contamination or wear. The proximity clutch switch is available for both the 591 Monitor and the X20 Monitor / Controller system.

FRAMES DESIGNED FOR O U T S TA N D I N G E N D U R A N C E

The 8910 frame features five ranks of 4 x 4 x .250 wall tubing. These are connected with continuous members above and below the ranks, creating a deep profile for high strength and many years of trouble-free operation. Forces are transferred effectively throughout the frame to ensure uniform soil penetration and consistent seed placement, even in tough soils.
CONFIGURE FOR DIRECT SEEDING EASY TO LEVEL EXCELLENT RESIDUE CLEARANCE

You are provided easy access to leveling locations. Wrenches are provided for side-to-side adjustment at the top of the depth control cylinders, and frontto-back adjustment at the screw jack between the in-frame running gear and caster wheel.
SUPERIOR RUNNING GEAR DESIGN

The 8910 has five rows of shanks, mounted on an 8", 10" or 12" spacing, with a minimum of 32" or 40" respectively between shanks on the same row. Special attention is given to clearance around the in frame wheels of the implement.
R E S I L I E N T T R I P A S S E M B LY P I V O T

Configure your Bourgault 10" spaced 8910 into the 8910 Culti-Drill. Equip your 8910 with your choice of mounted packer wheel options, low-disturbance seed openers, and optional Series 25 Mid Row Banders for an effective one-pass seeding system. You have the ability to adjust the packing pressure of the on-row mounted packer wheels with the Titan arms to suit the seeding conditions. The poly-gang, or independent style packers, provide up to 50 lb/ wheel on average, whereas the heavy-duty packers can be adjusted from 40 lb to 90 lb per wheel.

The 8910 Cultivator incorporates walking in-frame running gear that is slightly biased to the back wheel. The front wheel will not have a tendency to dip down in wetter conditions, minimizing your chances of getting stuck. Research has proven that the ability to follow field contours is primarily related to frame depth and wheel positioning. The in-frame running gear also minimizes the distance to the front caster wheels, so you can achieve consistent seed depth in hilly conditions.

The outstanding design of the Bourgault Spring Trip Assembly features a grade eight pivot bolt and an extremely durable nylon bushing. The simple and durable design provides years of service with low maintenance, yet can be replaced easily, safely, and very economically using common hand tools.

MID HARROW

BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN REGULAR & HEAVY HARROWS

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Standing stubble is invaluable to help trap snow for moisture, and help lock soil down to prevent erosion. The 6000 MidHarrow allows you to manage a wide range of residue conditions for trouble-free seeding, yet preserve the standing stubble for moisture retention and seedling protection. You can also set it for post-seeding harrowing without fear of dislodging planted seeds. The 6000 MidHarrow will be the most versatile harrow youll ever own.

The Double Acting Cable design provides the benefits of a cable and solid draw without any negative effects. Cables linking the wing booms to the front of the hitch take the working draft loads, and a pair of additional cables at the rear of the bar limit the forward movement of the wing booms.
EASY TO ADJUST AND CONTROL

The 6000 Mid-Harrow provides hydraulic control of down-force and section angle. Spring-loaded heavy-duty extension springs eliminate harrow bouncing even at high operating speeds. Tine angle is manually set from 41 to 81 on each harrow section, and the level of each section is automatically set as the tine angle is changed. Highly visible indicator gauges allow you to see at a glance how the bar is adjusted, making it easy to return to previous settings when adjusting to changing field conditions.
EXTENDED TINE LIFE

When the harrow tines are worn down, you can adjust the running gear to extend the tine life for an additional 4-". Another example of how Bourgault products allow you to maximize the return on your equipment investment. 6000 MID HARROW SPECIFICATIONS MODEL

The spring-loaded sections also eliminate harrow bounce to accommodate high operational speeds. 7200 HEAVY HARROW SPECIFICATIONS MODEL

The Double Acting Cable design provides the benefits of a cable and solid draw without any negative effects. Cables linking the wing booms to the front of the hitch take the working draft loads, and a pair of additional cables at the rear of the bar limit the forward movement of the wing booms.

GRAIN CART

No other grain cart provides the same features as the 1200. The turret-style unloading auger, high floatation running gear, low hitch load and strong truss frame allows you to keep the grain moving and combines threshing, particularly in tough field conditions.

Eight floatation tires on a double walking axle assembly (front to back and side to side) will carry a full load at a low 38 psi with maximum stability and allow fast travel even in rough or wet fields. Choose from the 21.5L x 16.1 14-ply highway or lug style tires. The designed loaded hitch weight of only 3,200 lb will create less wear and tear on the tractor. Working lights are standard for operator safety at night and during transport. The unique turret-style auger allows producers to place grain accurately and top the load without

riding the tractor clutch. Because of the near horizontal position of the auger, there is virtually no chance of contact with the truck box.

The efficient truss design is more than strong enough to take a full load through wet fields and uneven terrain. A unique soft start belt drive system is used to engage the drag auger and ensure smooth operation. An optional electronic weight scale and printer allows you to track and record yields and inventory accurately.

HIGH QUALITY LIQUID FERTILIZER CADDY

B O U R G A U LT 5 9 2 5 A I R C O U LT E R D R I L L The 5925 ACD produces ultra-low soil disturbance when seeding into even the most challenging conditions.

The Bourgault Cone Bottom LFCs are available in 1800, 2400, or 3000 US Gallon sizes. The LFC incorporates a 5th wheel style front axle, with a highly durable polymer wear pad separating the large plates. The front axle pivots on a lubricated pin and bushing system that offers a long life and trouble-free operation. A heavy-duty electric clutch engages the ground driven pump. The operator does not have to manually disconnect a drive shaft for transport, which is the case on some competitive units. You have a choice between a 34 gpm or 68 gpm rate ground driven piston pump. The optional 3" mounted transfer pump with Honda 6.5 hp engine will fill the tank in minutes.

The large 20-" diameter coulter disks are effective at cutting through tough field residue such as corn, sunflower, or soybean stubble. Seed directly into pasture land without pre-working the soil, allowing you to minimize soil disturbance and preserve existing moisture. The all-coulter 5925 creates less soil throw, allowing you to seed effectively at higher speeds than conventional air hoe drills. Equip the 5925 with MRBIII applicators for optimal location of nitrogen fertilizer in a one-pass seeding operation.

The Model 5925 Air Coulter Drill is comprised of a coulter assembly which utilizes strong cast components designed specifically for the rigours of direct seeding. 5 9 2 5 A I R C O U LT E R D R I L L S P E C I F I C AT I O N S MODEL
