by Gerry Bourgault, PEng
Bourgault’s motto is Pursuing Perfection. Although perfection
is obviously an unachievable ideal, our motto keeps us
continuously striving to raise the bar on our products to serve
our customers better.
Large scale, grain farming is a highly technical business that requires farm
managers to be continuously adapting to changes in market conditions and
technology. During the past 5 years, the dramatic expansion of ethanol and
bio-diesel has significantly impacted grain prices. However, going forward, the
rate of bio-fuel expansion is expected to slow. New technology has provided
farm enterprises with the opportunities to farm more efficiently and more
profitably. Larger equipment has allowed the farming of more acres with fewer
people or, alternatively, increasing total farmed acreage with the same number
of people. Higher costs of growing a crop have increased financial risks and
are requiring farm managers to develop more effective strategies for coping
with the increased risks.
The selection of farm equipment is one of the key aspects of managing an
efficient farm enterprise. Bourgault remains committed to developing and
manufacturing the world’s most innovative and durable farm equipment. This
has been our legacy for more than 35 years. This year, we are introducing
the new 3710 Air Coulter Drill, which raises the bar on coulter drill
technology. The design of the 3710 provides a choice of a low disturbance
or an anti hair-pinning seed placement system, which are interchangeable
for accommodating different farming situations. The 3710 also features a
patented walking axle system on parallel link geometry to provide unmatched
opener stability and seed placement accuracy. Also being introduced this year
is the Model 5810 Air Hoe Drill with the hydraulically controlled, Series III,
parallel link Mid Row Bander® system.
All of Bourgault’s equipment designs include proprietary technology to provide
farmers with unique features not found on any other equipment. These
features have been developed to add value to the farmer’s bottom line. For
example, the proprietary interconnecting tank system found on 6000 Air
Seeder carts allows for tank compartments to be combined for different
seeding scenarios. This feature allows the cart’s tank capacity to be more
efficiently used than the cart capacity on competitive units. This means
fewer fills for seeding the same amount of acres. The ParalinkTM opener
system design found on the 3310 Air Hoe Drill provides for ultra-precise
seed placement while also allowing the farmer a choice of seeding openers.
The 3310 also provides the best residue clearance and field finish of any
independent hoe drill while also providing the utmost in seed safety with
Bourgault’s patented hydraulic Mid Row Bander® system. The 7200 Heavy
Harrow has the ability to hydraulically control tine angle, tine pressure and
harrow section front-to-back orientation from the tractor seat allowing it to
outperform all heavy harrow drawbars when conditions are less than ideal. In
reviewing this catalogue you will indeed find unique, value-adding features on
all of Bourgault’s equipment.
Bourgault’s motto is Pursuing Perfection. Although perfection obviously is an
unachievable ideal, our motto keeps us continuously striving to raise the bar
on our products to serve our customers better.

MAXIMIZE YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL.
The 5810 Air Hoe Drill is the newest
member in Bourgault’s seeding lineup.
The 5810 AHD is the culmination of over
10 years of air hoe drill development
and incorporates new performance and
convenience features that will make it
the most popular air hoe drill of the next
decade!
ALL NEW 5810 Air Hoe Drill
Leading the pack of coulter seeding
systems is the all-new 3710 Independent
Coulter Drill. Bourgault has taken a bold
new approach with independent depth
coulter drill design that has everyone
taking notice. The 3710 ICD provides the
size, flexibility, and durability that farmers
have come to expect from Bourgault
seeding systems.
ALL NEW 3710 Independent Coulter Drill
The 3310 Paralink™ Hoe Drill is the best
independent depth seeding system offered
on the market. The Paralink™ arm delivers
stable performance at each opener,
ensuring consistent seeding depth in a
wide range of soil conditions. The choice
of multiple openers allows the 3310 to
be optimized for any farming operation.
Residue clearance is unmatched in the
industry!
3310 ParalinkTM Hoe Drill
Not every farming operation is the same. This is why Bourgault offers a variety of seeding systems, one
which will provide the unique features to suit your farming operation. Regardless of your selection, you are
guaranteed that each system lives up to Bourgault’s signature standard of design and construction.
5
Bourgault team members (many of whom are also farmers) are continually researching and developing effective products and features to help
you improve your bottom line. Whether it’s increasing your seeding efficiency, eliminating your risk of fertilizer burn, or improving convenience and
safety, we have a solution that meets your needs. Seeding is arguably the most important part of your farming business. This is why Bourgault
has made it the mort important part of ours.
Air Seeding took off with the help of the
Bourgault cultivator, and today it is still a
viable option for many producers. If you
need an implement that can do many
different jobs, but still do a great seeding
job, the Bourgault Cultivator is the system
for you. New for this season is the 891070 Cultivator.
8810/8910 Cultivator
It’s not hard to see why the 6000 Series
Air Seeder is the favorite product cart in
the industry. With outstanding features
such as inter-tank flexibility, hydraulic
calibration, and superior load/unload
systems, you can spend less time
configuring and loading your tank, and
more time seeding.
6000 Series Air Seeders
The evolution of banding fertilizer mid
row continues with the release of the
MRB® III. Like its counterpart, the Series
25 MRB® II, the MRB® III places the
nitrogen fertilizer in the optimal location,
and guarantees adequate seed to
fertilizer separation at any rate. New for
this season is the Mid Row Shank II. The
MRS II is an alternative to the coulter
banders for seeding systems on a 12
inch spacing.

SELECTING YOUR SEEDING SYSTEM
Seeding is arguably the most important activity in grain production. There is no other operation that you will
have control over that has greater impact on your crop yield and quality. When evaluating seeding systems for
your operation, it is important to consider the characteristics provided by the seeding system, and which ones
are most important for you.
PAC K I N G
RESIDUE CLEARANCE
SEED PLACEMENT CONSISTENCY
A high packing force approach is more effective in
regions that experience less moisture or soils that will
easily dry out. This approach will push the seed down
into undisturbed soil. In regions that tend to have more
moisture, a moderate packing force approach will firm
the soil above the seed, but not create a cap or crust
that may inhibit emergence.
Do you typically have a lot of straw to deal with prior
to seeding? What is your typical practice for residue
control? Matching the seeding implement to your straw
management practice will go a long way to ensuring
seeding success.
Are you looking to maintain a consistent and shallow
seeding depth? Or do you need to achieve a deeper
seeding range for your crops?
FIELD FINISH
Systems that create a coarse field finish will blacken the
soil and encourage evaporation, but leave a rough ride
during spraying or harvesting. Low disturbance systems
will help retain existing soil moisture and leave a smooth
field finish.
A D A P TA B I L I T Y
( R A N G E O F C O N F I G U R AT I O N S )
Does your seeding system need to work in a wide
variety of crop options? Or are looking for a dedicated
seeding implement that can replicate desired results
consistently?
CONTOURING CHARACTERISTICS
If your land is very hilly, with runs and draws, you will
need to consider a unit with good contouring capabilities.
Flat, even land with few hills or runs will not demand a
high-contouring system.
DURABILITY & MAINTENANCE
All Bourgault seeding systems are designed to provide
durability. It is also a fact that some systems become
more complex in order to achieve specific goals in
seeding. A greater number of moving parts and linkages
will typically result in greater wear and maintenance.
P E N E T R AT I O N
Is your land prone to drying out and becoming hard?
Have you been restricted in your options due to poor
penetration? If these are issues in your seeding
operation, you must ensure that your next system can
provide adequate penetration and consistent seed depth
control in demanding conditions.
EASE OF USE
Seeding systems with many new features may also
require a greater degree of operator knowledge; attention
and settings. When evaluating your choice of seeding
systems, check for the features that will provide the best
return for your investment.
EFFICIENCY (SPEED/WIDTH)
You need a seeding system that will get the job done
right in the time you have. This means you need to look
not only at the size, but at what speed you can achieve
good seedbed integrity.
NUTRIENT PLACEMENT
It is critical to consider the level of risk you are willing
to take with your inputs at seeding time. Farming today
does not leave you much room for error, so you need
to make sure your seeding system will be working to
maximize your earning potential while minimizing your
risks.
7
Each of these characteristics are important, but
some may be more critical to you than to the
next farmer. This is why Bourgault Industries Ltd.
offers an extensive selection of seeding systems,
each with their own unique characteristics and
attributes, yet all designed and built with the
same commitment to ingenuity, durability, and
simplicity.
You know your fields, you know your crops, and
you know what it takes to make a successful
harvest. By getting to know the Bourgault
seeding systems, you will find the one that will
work best for you.
The scoring reflects each Bourgault seeding
system compared to each other in the
characteristic listed. All Bourgault seeding
systems are designed and built to the same
standards of quality and durability.

3310 PARALINKTM HOE DRILL
8
There are many reasons why the Bourgault 3310 PHD™ has become the most
popular independent hoe drill in North America. Bourgault has applied many
years of experience to the development of this practical, durable, and effective
seeding system to achieve the most consistent seed placement in the widest
range of seeding conditions.

10
SUPERIOR RESIDUE CLEARANCE
Many farmers feel that they are forced to adopt a wider row spacing to avoid uneven emergence caused by residue bunching. ParalinkTM hoe drill owners comment about the
outstanding residue clearance they experience at seeding. Features such as a seed-only opener on each shank, optimal seed opener to packer distance, edge-on shank design,
and residue cutting MRB® coulters provide excellent trash flow in challenging conditions without having the compromise of a wider row spacing.
CONVENIENT HYDRAULIC CONTROL
CONSISTENT SEED DEPTH
You have full electric-over-hydraulic control of packing force from the tractor seat, from
as low as 70 lb to an excess of 200 lb. One click of the pressure control toggle will
adjust the hydraulic pressure by about 50 p.s.i. system pressure. This translates to
about 7 lb of packing force and 20 lb of trip force.
The Paralink™ arm is designed to achieve a balance between independent contouring
ability and stable opener operation. The 2-to-1 contour ratio of the ParalinkTM arm will
provide good land-following characteristics, yet not be over-sensitive to last season’s
seed runs or soil lumps. Get your seeding job done right seeding with, or across last
year’s furrows, while maintaining a very productive operating speed and obtaining
excellent seed placement.
The hydraulic arrangement has been designed with integrated line locks and may be
configured to operate the banding coulters and seeding shanks either together, or
independently.
E Q U I P M E N T - F R I E N D LY F I E L D F I N I S H
Don’t beat your equipment (or your back) up! The Bourgault 3310 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
off short or lodged crops more easily.
T H E A B I L I T Y T O P E N E T R AT E
The 3310 PHD™ can penetrate soil conditions that the competitors only ride over! The
same 2-to-1 contour ratio that stabilizes the PHD™ opener performance also allows up
to two times the packing force to be available for penetration. That is over 400 lb of
opener force! The durable frame construction and inner-wing down pressure feature
ensures forces are transferred from the mainframe to the inner wing. Weight is added
to the outer wings to ensure uniform penetration through the entire width of the drill.
3310 PARALINKTM HOE DRILL
11
EFFECTIVE SEEDING SPEEDS
It is critical to not sacrifice your seedbed integrity by going too fast. It is also important for you to make the best use of a typically short seeding window.
The 3310 PHD™ helps you get the best of both worlds by incorporating specific design parameters that allow you to maintain seedbed integrity at superior
seeding speeds for the given conditions. Expect a greater degree of productivity with the 3310 than any other independent hoe drill.
12
CHOICE OF SEED KNIVES
The Paralink™ design guarantees consistent seed knife angle relative to the ground, regardless of its position. This
allows you to select the seed knife or tip that works best for your farming operation.
Use care in the selection of the right seed knife, boot or tip so as to achieve the desired results. A single-shoot seedonly knife is recommended for use with the 3310. Bourgault Mid Row Banders® are recommended if you are configuring
a double-shoot, one-pass seeding system. The selection and subsequent performance of seed knives, boots or tips are
solely the responsibility of the opener manufacturer and the operator.
P A R A L I N K ™ S E E D O P E N E R A S S E M B LY
The 3310 Paralink™ Hoe Drill is designed around this
innovative opener assembly. The incorporation of parallel
link depth control on the seed shank allows for a wide
range of seed knife options to the producer.
Easy-Adjust Depth Control – Adjusting the depth on
an independent depth system is time consuming,
so Bourgault incorporates an indexed pin depth
adjustment unit that is simple and repeatable across
the depth of the unit.
Carbo-Nitrided Shafting –
This processed shafting is
hard-surfaced for protection,
rather than hard-plated which
is prone to damage from
nicks and wear.
Lube-Free Bushings – Spend more time in
the field and less time greasing. Bourgault
incorporates fiber and hardened steel
bushings to ensure long service life without
the hassle of greasing.
Paralink™ Control - The Paralink™ design maintains
the opener angle to the soil flow as the opener
follows the ground profile.
Packer Wheel Choice – Choose from a
variety of tire options to match your seeding
requirements.
Efficient Seeding – Optimal opener-to-packer distance allows soil to flow into the seed
row. You can achieve a consistent seed depth at productive seeding speeds for the
given conditions.
EFFICIENT & EFFECTIVE
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic configuration on the 3310 PHD™
efficiently utilizes the tractor’s closed-centre
hydraulic system. Hydraulic flow is minimal during
the seeding operation. The biggest draw is in the
headland turns with the raise and lower action
controlled at the Model 400 control box.
B O U R G A U LT M I D R O W B A N D E R S ®
One of the defining features of the 3310
Paralink™ Hoe Drill is the optional hydraulic
Mid Row Banders®. MRBs® allow you to place
nitrogen fertilizer and sulphur between every other
seed row without danger of seed contact. The
growing use of Variable Rate Technology means
that fertilizer rates will vary throughout your field.
High rates of fertilizer placed near your seed
will run the risk of seed damage or mortality.
Maximize your returns and minimize your risks
when one-pass seeding with MRBs (for more
information on MRBs see page 32).
Farmers who choose 12" spaced 3310s now have
the option of the Mid Row Shank II (see page 37
for more information on the MRS II). This banding
option provides optimal nutrient placement with
less moving parts.

You can choose a packer wheel that best suits your choice of knife. The 4.8" pneumatic packer (with tube) can be
adjusted from 12 to 50 psi to match changing soil conditions. The 5.4" semi-pneumatic provides a wide packing
profile, while the 4.5" V-Style semi-pneumatic provides a more aggressive, narrow profile. The 4.5" semi-pneumatic
is also available. Both the 4.5" semi-pneumatic and the 5.4" semi-pneumatic have a round profile.

When going over residue or obstacles, the walking
action between the cleaner and packer wheels stabilizes
the coulter arm assembly reducing coulter movement
by a factor of two. Delivering superior precision seed
placement as compared to competitive units with the
cleaner wheel fixed to the side of the coulter.

CONTOUR- ABILIT Y
AND CONSISTENCY
Packer Depth Adjustment
You need consistent seeding depth for even germination,
but don’t want to sacrifice overall efficiency. Seed drills
that claim extreme contour-ability can also be very
sensitive to residue, previous furrows, or lumpy soil
forcing operators to reduce seeding speeds or risk the
danger of opener instability.
Bourgault offers the best of contour-ability and
consistency with the pantent pending Parallel Walking
Coulter Arm. When contouring through draws and over
hills the parallel arms maintain seed depth and seed
boot angle. The depth is guaged by a walking axle
between the cleaner and packer wheel. The walking axle
design reduces weight on the closer wheel and provides
excellent packing characteristics. More importantly, it
walks over residue and obstacles keeping the coulter
seeding at a desired depth. This innovative design
allows the 3710 to contour, yet provide consistent seed
placement like no other drill on the market.

OPTIMAL NUTRIENT PLACEMENT
The 3710 Independent Coulter Drill provides a unique
and valuable feature that allows you electric-overhydraulic control of penetration and packing force
through the Model 400 Control Box. Apply up to 450
lb of opener down force and 70 to 230 lb of packer
wheel down force with 30 to 100 lb of cleaner wheel
down force on each seed row! A gauge on the control
box allows you to monitor the hydraulic pressure being
applied.
The placement of the crops nitrogen requirements mid
row has proven to be the optimal location for a one-pass
seeding operation. Only mid row banding will give you the
peace of mind that your investments in fertilizer, seed,
and even new technologies such as Variable Rate Control
are working to increase your profit margin.

WALKING AXLE LINK
The walking axle link frees the packer
and gauge wheel to act in tandem while
setting the depth for the opener. You
have the option to shorten the link to lock
the gauge wheel slightly off the ground
so that he packer wheel alone sets the
opener depth. This is advantageous in
conditions where additional packing force
is required, or if there is concern of the
cleaner wheel pulverizing the soil.
5810 AIR HOE DRILL
20
We’ve taken the best seeding system in North America for over the past 10 years...and made it better! The 5810 AHD is a
complete redesign from the trip layout up, allowing Bourgault to incorporate new technology into the design and manufacture
of the drill. Through the design process of the 5810 AHD, Bourgault committed to incorporating the features from the 5710
that made it the number one air hoe drill on the market.

B O U R G A U LT S P R I N G T R I P –
HEART OF THE 5810 AHD
Bourgault continues to build on the spring trip
assembly that revolutionized seeding. The Bourgault
spring trip cushion design utilizes increasing force
geometry, allowing the Bourgault air hoe drill to be
effective where competitor’s systems just ride on
top of the ground. The Bourgault 450 HD spring
trip cushion incorporates a 1" pivot protected with a
greaseless nylon bushing and a 1¼" tapered shank
which is 55% stronger than a 1" shank. Not only are
they durable, you will appreciate the low parts cost
when maintenance is required.

The 5810 AHD tires are customer approved! The new, larger caster wheels minimize the lb per square inch
pressure resulting in reduced compaction, improved transport handling ability, as well as exceptional floatation
in wet conditions. For example, the 5810-72 foot comes standard equipped with 16.5L x 16.1 mainframe
tires and 13.5L x 15 tires on the inner and outer wings.

ROBUST DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION
The 5810 frame features 4" x 4" ranks sandwiched between continuous members running top and bottom the full depth of the frame. This construction
provides a deep profile for high strength and many years of trouble-free operation. This design also transfers weight very efficiently to ensure consistent soil
penetration throughout the width of the drill, even in hard soil conditions.
The 5810 AHD utilizes a 4" diameter rockshaft so you can expect many years of consistent seed placement, even in harsh seeding conditions.
24
QUICK AND EASY LEVELING
E X PA N D YO U R S E E D I N G W I N D OW
Precise leveling is critical to achieving a consistent
seedbed. The 5810’s newly designed, easy to access
leveling adjustments let you accurately level your entire
5810 using one standardized procedure...which allows
you to get into the field faster.
Increase your seeding window by investing in a second
set of packers for your 5810 AHD. Having packer
options gives you the flexibility to seed in a wider range
of conditions; pneumatic packers allow you to seed
during wetter conditions (especially important with fine
seeds such as canola and flax), while narrow steel
packers are a good choice for dryer conditions. Leading
producers find that a second set of packer gangs gets
them into the field sooner, increasing their seeding
window resulting in an overall increased growing season.
Adjustment wrenches are provided. Detailed instructions
are located near the point of adjustment.
P I C K T H E PAC K E R FO R YO U R C O N D I T I O N S
Consider all the packer wheels available to customize the
5810 AHD for your farming operation.
Steel wheel packers are
21½" diameter and are
available in 2¼", 3½"
and 4½" widths. The
construction has been
optimized for the 5810
AHD to increase durability.
The 4½" packer has a ¼"
thick steel cap, the 3½"
packer has a 3/16" thick steel cap, while the 2¼" has
a 7 gauge cap. Mud-scrapers are optional for steel
wheels.
Rubber-faced semipneumatic wheels are 22"
diameter and offered on 3"
and 4" widths.
A fully pneumatic 20½"
dia. wheel with a 5½"
width is available. Tire
pressure can be adjusted
from 6 to 45 psi to match
seeding conditions.
Stone kickers are standard on all packer options.
SINGLE-POINT DEPTH SETTING
When time is of the essence, being able to set your
seed depth quickly and accurately is a high priority. The
5810 AHD allows you to achieve optimal seed depth in
minutes with the quick shift depth control system. Set,
check, and adjust your seeding depth in minutes!

8810 CULTIVATOR
26
The 8810 Floating Hitch Cultivator continues to be a viable seeding tool in North
America. No other seeding system can be set up for tillage, then reconfigured
into an effective direct seeding system. The clean and simple floating hitch
design, durable construction, and superior residue flow characteristics have made
this tool bar a mainstay throughout the small grain regions of North America
especially in areas that are prone to wet seeding conditions.

FRAMES DESIGNED FOR
O U T S TA N D I N G E N D U R A N C E
The 8810 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.
EASY TO LEVEL
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 front-to-back
adjustment at the screw jack between the
in-frame running gear and caster wheel.
SUPERIOR
RUNNING GEAR DESIGN
RESILIENT TRIP
A S S E M B LY P I V O T
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.
The 8810 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.
CONFIGURE THE 8810 FOR DIRECT SEEDING
Configure your Bourgault 10" spaced 8810 into the 8810 Culti-Drill. Equip your 8810
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.
EXCELLENT RESIDUE CLEARANCE
The 8810 has five rows of shanks, mounted on an 8" or 10" 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.

8910
CULTIVATOR
The 8910-70 Cultivator is the first 70' cultivator offered by Bourgault. This big brother to the 8810 Series has
several design changes to accommodate its incredible operational width.
The 8910-70 is available on 10" or 12" spacing. It will compliment today’s high horsepower tractors in the
role of a fertilizer applicator, or as a medium duty chisel plow delivering extreme productivity.
Note: Due to the size, the 8910-70 is available with mounted harrows or poly-packers only.

HARROWS
Bourgault Titan™ QuickDetach Arms are designed
for quick and easy
attachment or interchange
of mounted harrows and
packers to accomplish
various operations with
the same unit. You can
manually adjust the downforce on each arm, and
the two-stage spring
arrangement ensures the
set down-force remains
constant regardless of the
mounted option.
Gang style poly-packers
are ideal for 8810 or 9400
seeding systems where
moderate packing is required
for breaking soil lumps and
sealing the seedbed. The 20"
diameter durable polyethylene
packers are mounted on a 1"
shaft and heavy-duty pillow
block bearings.
Independent poly-packers
excel if your 8810 or 9400
seeding system is working in
stony land. Each wheel is
mounted on a gang with its
own spring cushion and sealed
ball bearings. Independent
movement on each wheel
ensures more uniform packing
for a more consistent crop
emergence.
Achieve near-drill like packing
results with your 10" spaced
8810 seeding system. The
22" diameter packers are
available in 2¼" & 3½" steel,
2" & 3" semi-pneumatic, and
5½" wide pneumatic wheels.
Mid Row Banders® or a weight
kit is required to offset the
weight on the back of the
8810.
Mounted tine harrows will break
lumps and even the soil for
general tillage, or lightly seal the
seedbed in a seeding operation.
Five different tine settings allow
you to set the angle to match
your operation and conditions.

Careful consideration and investigation is important when making a longterm decision such as adopting a one-pass seeding operation. The goal
behind the practice 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 one-pass
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.

Seedbed Integrity – MRBs, coupled with narrow seed openers allow you to create an
effective seedbed in a one-pass seeding system, ensuring even seed placement and
preserving soil moisture;
Mid Row Banders minimize the risk of fertilizer damage to your seed by placing the
crop’s nitrogen fertilizer requirements between every other seed row eliminating the
risk of fertilizer toxicity and salt effect, and eliminate seedbed quality issues such as
soil lumping and excessive soil disturbance resulting in premature seedbed drydown.
NITROGEN FORM & TOXICIT Y
All nitrogen fertilizer, once placed into the soil goes through the process of
nitrification. It is important for producers to understand how this conversion takes
place, and it’s effect on the emerging seedling.
Guaranteed Separation – MRBs guarantee separation of nitrogen fertilizer from the
seed row regardless of nitrogen form, rate or seed row spacing;
Mid Row Band (After 4 Weeks) –
The nitrogen band has converted
to nitrate and has moved out
towards the plant roots, which
during growth have sensed and
tapped into the nutrient source.
Optimum Nitrogen Location – Plants do not need to be endangered by closely placed
nitrogen during seeding. Mid row application allows plants to access the fertilizer in
its most beneficial form - nitrate;
Versatility – MRBs work well with all forms of nitrogen fertilizer: Dry Urea, Anhydrous
Ammonia, and Liquid UAN;
Seeding Efficiency – MRB systems aid seeding efficiency by allowing farmers to seed
at higher speeds than competitors in like conditions;
Fuel Consumption – Coulter style MRBs, paired with narrow seed knives create much
less draft than competitor’s one-pass systems;
Ingenuity, Simplicity, Durability – Mid Row Banders are designed, tested and built to
the level of quality and user-friendliness that is the hallmark of Bourgault equipment.

Nitrogen initially converts to ammonia, which is very toxic to the seed and plant,
and is not very mobile in the soil. Risk of fertilizer toxicity is high if the seed(ling) is
close to the fertilizer row.
The ammonia then converts to ammonium, which is not as toxic as ammonia, but
can cause seedling damage and impair plant development at a high concentration.
Ammonium then coverts to nitrate, which is the safest, most effective form of
nitrogen for robust plant development. Nitrate is very mobile in the soil, and can
reach the seed row from the mid row band in as little as two days.
The length of the conversion process varies with specific soil types and amount of
moisture in the soil. Ideal moisture and soil conditions will help minimize damage
caused by closely placed fertilizer. But in more challenging years when moisture is
scarce, the risk of damage from nitrogen fertilizer increases dramatically.

1 Floating Carbide Scraper – The floating inside scraper pressure can be adjusted to ensure a good furrow
is maintained and the inside of the coulter stays clean in a wide range of seeding conditions. The carbide
edge will provide long service, even in abrasive or heavy clay soils.
2 Double-Tapered Roller Bearing Hub – You can expect long service life with the high capacity hub and spindle
assembly. A triple lip seal protects the hub bearings, and allows you to over-grease without seal damage. A
straw-kicker tab is located on the inside of the hub to prevent build-up of debris.

3 Maintenance-Free Coulter Arm Pivot – The MRB arm pivots on a 1" diameter single chrome pin and a 4"
long greaseless composite fibre bushing protected with urethane seals and plastic thrust washers. This
chrome pivot pin will stand up for the life of the seeding system, even in hard or stony soils.
4 Fine Scraper Position Adjust – The position of the scraper relative to the edge of the disc can be adjusted in
fine 1/8" increments with plastic shims located on the scraper shaft.
5 Coarse Scraper Position Adjust – Loosen the mounting bolts to adjust the whole scraper/boot assembly.
This allows you to maintain the optimal scraper-to-disc position as the coulter wears.
6 Combo-Boot – The versatile combo boot allows you to select between dry, liquid, or anhydrous forms of
nitrogen application.

9 Hydraulic Actuation – Hydraulic cylinder pressure can be set to achieve desired coulter penetration. When
tripped, the hydraulic cylinder will minimize the recoil force when the coulter returns to its operational
position.

Floating Carbide Scraper – The floating inside scraper
can be adjusted to ensure a good furrow is maintained
and the coulter disc stays clean in a wide range of
seeding conditions. The carbide edge will provide long
service, even in abrasive or heavy clay soils.
Hydraulic Actuation – The hydraulically controlled MRBs
are synchronized with the seed arms or shanks for
efficient in-field operation. This feature also makes the
MRB III convenient to lock out 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 hub and spindle can be quickly removed for
exchange or service.
4
Parallel Link Arrangement – The MRB body is mounted
on parallel arms for a constant disc attack angle and
seed boot / liquid tube orientation regardless of its
operating depth.
5
Simple Depth Adjustment – Shims on the hydraulic
cylinder are used for setting the depth (one 1/4" shim
= 1/2" depth).
6
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.
7
Fine Scraper Position Adjust
(Not Shown - Behind Cast Mount) –
The position of the scraper relative to the edge of the
disc can be adjusted in fine 1/8" increments using
plastic shims located on the scraper shaft.
8
Coarse Scraper Position Adjust – Loosen the mounting
bolts to adjust the whole scraper/boot assembly. This
allows you to maintain the optimal scraper-to-disc
position as the disc wears.
9
Combo-Boot – The versatile combo-boot allows you
to select between dry, liquid, or anhydrous forms of
nitrogen application. Dry product uses a 1¼" tertiary
hose for product delivery.
10 Long Wearing Coulter – The large 20½" diameter
single bevel boron steel coulter is set at a 4.5° angle
to open the soil just enough to deposit the fertilizer.
CLOSER TINE
O R R E TA I N I N G W H E E L O P T I O N
The outside closer tine option (A) is designed to help soil
flow back into the furrow. You can adjust the tine position
to match your operating depth. For ideal results, the closer
tine holds some residue against the disc to help keep it
clean. If you require more aggressive closing action, or less
soil disturbance, the retaining wheel option (B) utilizes a
torsion spring to adjust the down-force, as well as shims to
set the position relative to the disc.

MID ROW BANDERS
37
MRS II (Available on 3310 PHDTM & 5810 AHD on 12" spacing)
Variable Rate Technology and MRBs – An Ideal Partnership
MRS II
The Mid Row Shank II provides onepass fertilizer application with an
edge-on style shank. The MRS II is
the 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.
If you are involved with the
development of prescription maps, you
know that there are times when very
high rates of fertilizer are required for
specific locations, rates that will put
seed at high risk if applied too close.
Seed and fertilizer placement becomes
even more critical in a precision
farming operation.
1 Hydraulic Actuation – The hydraulic
cylinder actuation provides a constant
force through the travel of the arm
when going over an obstacle, and a
gentle return to the operating position.
Like the coulter-style banders, the
MRS II shanks can be set to operate
independently of the seed arms, or
locked out when not in use.
It is not uncommon to see prescription
maps where nitrogen requirements
spike to 140+ lb/acre actual where a
grower is shooting for maximum yields
with a hybrid canola variety.
You need to be confident that your
crop will thrive, versus being set back
by the rates called for in each zone to
realize the best returns from variable
rate technology.
2 Simple Depth Adjustment – A twobolt attachment system with multiple
mounting holes allows 1/2" height
increments.
3 Common Mount – The MRS II shank is
designed to accept a front delivery boot
with a 3/4" tip.
4 Single Tertiary Lines – Dry fertilizer
product is delivered through a 1¼"
tertiary hose. The MRS II can also be
used with liquid or NH3 fertilizer.
Each MRS II assembly weighs
approximately 70 lb, and provides 9" of
unobstructed clearance when tripped
(nominal at 2-1/2" working depth)
A Bourgault Precision Seeding System
equipped with Mid Row Banders® provides
the peace of mind that your crop is in the
best position to utilize the rates applied,
no matter what challenges your crop may
face during the growing season. 

High-density poly metering augers coupled with
precisely matched steel orifices provide accurate
metering and low maintenance. The polyethylene
auger provides consistent seeding rates, even with
problematic products such as treated seed and certain
fertilizers.
The PDM Plus is gentle, even on peas and lentils.
PAMI Research Update #702 found that average seed
damage of all tests was 0%.
A large flow-through sump allows for easy and
complete tank clean out and metering auger
inspection.
Product sump ensures precise metering, even at low
tank levels. Wide metering rolls used on competitors’
models may experience uneven product draw at low
tank levels as the product is metered.
GENTLE PRODUCT DELIVERY
TA N K C L E A N O U T I S A B R E E Z E
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.
Customers who have moved away from competitor’s
air seeders comment on how tank cleanout is so much
easier, quicker, and less messy with a Bourgault.
With the Bourgault system, tank cleaning is simple, with
an unobstructed drop into the load/unload auger hopper.
The producer just has to remove two bolts holding the
sump plate, and product can drop neatly into the auger
hopper.

The 9800 hitch consists of a center beam designed to transfer
all of the fertilizer / air seeder cart load directly to the tractor.
Two 8" hitch side beams are fixed to the outside points of the
mainframe to effectively pull the 9800. You can set the proper
tongue height regardless of draw bar height or operating depth
with the hitch height adjustment mount.

MAXIMUM RESIDUE, MINIMUM EFFORT
The four-row design provides generous distance between the
sweeps and the wheels, and the shank arrangement has been
optimized to provide excellent residue flow. No other chisel plow
can even come close to matching the 9800’s performance in
heavy residue. The 9800 RHCP has two general operational
positions: an 18" regular lift range setting and a 22" high lift
range setting. Optional stabilizer wheels are available to ensure
even penetration when you are working in high draft situations.
6000 MID HARROW®

Bridging the gap between
Regular & Heavy Harrows
M A N AG E S T R AW, P R E S E RV E S T U B B L E
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
EASY TO ADJUST AND CONTROL
Standing stubble is invaluable to help trap snow for
moisture, and help lock soil down to prevent erosion.
The 6000 Mid-Harrow® 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 Mid-Harrow® will be the most versatile harrow
you’ll 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
to take the working draft loads, and a pair of additional
cables at the rear of the bar limiting the forward
movement of wing booms.
The 6000 Mid-Harrow® provides hydraulic control of
down-force and section angle. Spring-loaded heavyduty 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.

The only Heavy Harrow

COMPLETE ON-THE-GO CONTROL
SPRING LOADED HARROW SECTIONS
BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
The 7200 Heavy Harrows has the ability to make
all of the adjustments on the go - tire angle, down
pressure, and section angle. While other farmers using
competitive units are either making straw piles, or are
stopped and out of the cab trying to make manual
adjustments, you are already moving off to the next field,
confident that your land is ready for seeding.
Heavy-duty spring-loaded harrow sections allow you to
apply aggressive field settings. Individual sections will
trip out if an obstacle is passed over, protecting the
harrow from excessive wear and impact damage. The
spring-loaded sections also eliminate harrow bounce to
accommodate high operational speeds.
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
to take the working draft loads, and a pair of additional
cables at the rear of the bar limiting the forward
movement of wing booms.

BOURGAULT TODAY
Over 35 years ago, Bourgault opened its first manufacturing facility in St.Brieux, Saskatchwan with a staff
of 28 people. Today, Bourgault and its subsidiaries operate more than 400,000 square feet of plant area
and employ over 700 people. Equipment manufactured at these plants is distributed to Bourgault’s dealers
located throughout the world.
S T . B R I E U X , S A S K AT C H E W A N
H I G H L I N E M A N U F A C T U R I N G LT D .
Bourgault completed a 36,000 sq. ft. expansion of
manufacturing capacity in St. Brieux, Saskatchewan in
2008 to meet the increasing demand for equipment.
Not only was there a huge investment in shop area,
reorganizing workflow and incorporation of lean
initiatives, equipment upgrades were also implemented.
The benefits from the new expansion address not
only more capacity, but also the ongoing pursuit of
higher quality. As one example, welded frames and
components run through a manual or automatic inline
blasting system prior to paint to produce the best steel
finish for paint adhesion and durability.
Highline Manufacturing Ltd. has become a key part of
Bourgault’s manufacturing capacity. This wholly owned
subsidiary of Bourgault has gradually been taking on
select Bourgault products to maximize the plant capacity
in its Vonda, Saskatchewan facility. Major upgrades
and expansions allowed Highline to better support the
production of both Highline and Bourgault products.

Bourgault USA
M I N O T , N O R T H D A K O TA
Bourgault’s vision of establishing a manufacturing facility
in the US became a reality with the implementation of
state of the art manufacturing equipment in Minot, North
Dakota. The tooling up of our existing facility in that city
was a huge undertaking through 2008 and 2009, and
today we are prepared to produce and ship the most
advanced agricultural equipment in the world from Minot.
The current manufacturing flow sees the 3310 Paralink™
opener assemblies and Mid Row Banders® manufactured
in the Minot facility that go on to final assembly of
finished seeding systems in both St. Brieux and Minot.
In addition, the new 3710 Independent Coulter Drill is
also planned for US production, with most of the limited
release 2010 models seeing final assembly in Minot.
