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 Bourgault’s 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 Gerry, seated in the cockpit of Bourgault’s experimental aircraft design - the latest product development at Bourgault. 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 Bourgault’s 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 Bourgault’s obsession with quality and durability is now stronger than ever. w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m 3 THE ULTIMATE SEEDING PACKAGE With seeding arguably having the greatest impact on your farming operation, it is without question that time should be taken to choose the right seeding system for your specific needs.

The 3320XTC is equipped with the new Paralink XTC Seed Opener Assembly. The XTC Seed Opener has a 1-to-1 opener gauge wheel ratio for exact seed placement over ridge tops and through water runs. Basic Geometry of the Series 3320 PHD Openers: XTC Opener PHD Opener 1-to-1 Parallel Link Trailing Arm Parallel Link 2-to-1 Packer/gauge wheel and seed shank move together when depth is set. The bottom arm of the PHD opener is continuous from the packer wheel to the drill frame. If the packer/gauge wheel moves down, the seed shank follows the same vertical distance. If the packer/gauge wheel moves, the seed shank travels half the vertical distance in the same direction. Changes to the vertical frame height do not affect the position of the seed shank. If the drill frame changes vertical position in relation to the packer/gauge wheel, the seed shank travels half the vertical distance in the same direction. 8 High Floatation Caster Wheels Optional MRBIIIs eliminate the risk of fertilizer burn. Sturdy 5" x 5" Three Row Frame Construction Hydraulic control of packer and opener force from the cab. FIVE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY DURABLE DESIGN, SUPERIOR SERVICE No other manufacturer can match Bourgault for quality of design, durability of construction, and after-market support of leading seeding systems. tires on the main frame casters and 11L x 15FI tires on the wing casters.

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. w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m S E R I E S 3 3 2 0 PA R A L I N K H O E D R I L L 10 REDUCED HYDRAULIC FLOW 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 tractor’s hydraulic system, resulting in minimal flow during the seeding operation. New for the 3320 PHD is the incorporation of a 1-¼" diameter hydraulic cylinder on both variations of seed openers. These cylinders are ¼" 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. PACKER OPTIONS FOR THE 3320 PHD 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 ¾" 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. B O U R G A U L T M R B III Bourgault Mid Row Banders have helped thousands of farmers achieve a profitable, one-pass seeding operation by minimizing the risks by providing optimal fertilizer placement. The Series 3320 Paralink hoe drills incorporate the MRBIII applicators on all three configurations so you can maximize your return each and every season. Bourgault Industries Ltd.

The Paralink™ design maintains the attack angle of the opener in the ground as the opener follows the ground profile. This feature maintains consistent soil flow characteristics with a range of openers. 1 Built to Last Strong, well-designed cast components resist bending and breaking, even when conditions are tough. You don’t have to worry about bent seed arms tracking over fertilizer rows. 9 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. Guidelines are provided to help achieve intended results, but, final opener selection, and subsequent field performance is the sole responsibility of the opener manufacturer and the owner. 8 13 2 3 4 6 5 8 Efficient Seeding Ideal opener-to-packer distance allows soil to flow into the seed row. This, combined with the 2-to-1 ratio enables you to achieve a consistent seed depth at greater seeding speeds for the given conditions with a wider range of opener widths. 7 9 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. 2:1 CONTOUR R AT I O 3320SE shown w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m 14 3 3 2 0 S E A N D 3 3 2 0 Q D A S E E D O P E N E R A S S E M B LY The 2-to-1 contour ratio of the PHD Seed Opener Assembly is designed to deliver good contouring characteristics and consistent results in a wide range of seeding conditions. For every inch that the packer wheel moves, the seed opener will move ½" (refer to page 7). This feature dampens opener movement, providing consistent seeding depth even when 3320SE shown below Bourgault Industries Ltd. seeding at an angle to last year’s 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. 3 3 2 0 SE A N D 3 3 2 0 QDA PA R A L I N K H O E D R I L L S 15 E F F E C T I V E V E R T I C A L P E N E T R AT I O N FO R C E 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 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. Don’t 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. w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m 16 3 3 2 0 Q D A ( Q U I C K D E P T H A D J U S T ) PA R A L I N K TM H O E D R I L L Similar to the 3320SE, the 3320QDA is equipped with PHD Seed Openers mounted on a durable and well-engineered frame. Where the 3320QDA sets itself apart is in the incorporation of a frame height adjustment system, which provides you with the ability to adjust seeding depth with speed and convenience that you never expected with an independent depth seeding system. The 3320 Quick Depth Adjust configuration is unique in the market, as it is the only independent depth drill that allows you to change your seeding depth easily and effectively. FIVE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY Bourgault Industries Ltd. 3 3 2 0 QDA PA R A L I N K H O E D R I L L 17 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. w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m 18 3 3 2 0 Q D A H Y D R A U L I C / S H I M A S S E M B LY - S E E D D E P T H A D J U S T M E N T M A D E E A S Y 1 2 Frame in field operating position. 3 Divert hydraulic pressure to frame lift cylinders. 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 Bourgault Industries Ltd. 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 1-¼" 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. 3 3 2 0 QDA PA R A L I N K H O E D R I L L 19 4 5 Remove retaining pin from shims. Place desired number of shims into position. 6 Replace retaining pin to secure shims at new depth setting. Frame can then be returned to operating position. BEST OF BOTH WORLDS Frame height adjustments will affect the operational depth of the MRBIIIs by a factor of two in comparison to the seed openers, as they are fixed stationary to the frame of the 3320QDA. A ¼" change of seeding depth for the opener will produce a ½" 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. The 3320QDA truly provides the best of both worlds, the only independent hoe drill with quick depth adjustment. w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m 20 3 3 2 0 X T C ( e X t r a T E R R A I N C O N T O U R I N G ) PA R A L I N K TM H O E D R I L L Producers dedicated to precision seed placement in challenging terrain now have a seeding system dedicated to this goal, the 3320XTC. The 3320XTC Seed Opener incorporates proven PHD features into a new design which includes a tighter opener-to-packer distance and one-to-one contour ratio. Precision-minded farmers can set the 3320XTC to achieve consistent seeding depth over hilltops and through water runs. No other independent seeding system is better suited for fields with varying topography. FIVE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY Bourgault Industries Ltd. 3 3 2 0 X TC PA R A L I N K H O E D R I L L 21 ONE-TO-ONE CONTOURING If you invest your time and attention into every detail to achieve even germination, the 3320XTC is the seeding system for you, featuring the new Paralink XTC Seed Opener Assembly. The XTC Seed Opener works on a one-to-one contour ratio, an important feature to ensure exact seed placement when seeding over a hilltop or through a water run. DURABLE CONSTRUCTION The Bourgault commitment to ingenuity, durability and simplicity shines through with the XTC Seed Opener Assembly, featuring rugged cast components and long-wearing pivot bushings. By incorporating the new seeding opener on the proven 3320 frame, producers have the most advanced and durable precision seeding system available. Expect reliable service through many seasons with the new Bourgault 3320XTC. E F F E C T I V E O P E R AT I O N A L R A N G E Even with this level of attention to precision, you are able to achieve unprecedented results in a wider range of conditions than you would ever expect from the competitors’ independent seeding units. The XTC Seed Opener Assembly utilizes the same Paralink principle to maintain the seed knife’s ground attack angle, regardless of the opener position. When paired with optional MRBIII nitrogen applicators, you will reap the benefits of safe fertilizer placement, excellent seed placement, and the consistent row spacing from the anti-skewing benefits of the coulter-style mid row banders. The 3320XTC effectively seeds terrain and conditions that strand competitor’s independent depth drills. w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m 22 1 3 3 2 0 X T C S E E D O P E N E R A S S E M B LY Easy-Adjust Depth Control 2 Adjusting the depth on an independent depth system is time consuming, so Bourgault incorporates a spring retained depth setting system for a quick and repeatable depth setting across the whole unit. 4 Quick Hydraulic Response The 3320 XTC utilizes a 1-¼" diameter cylinder, which is smaller than the original, for quicker lifting in the headlands and reduced hydraulic demand. 5 Carbo-Nitrided Shafting This processed shafting is hard-surfaced for corrosion protection, rather than hard-plated which is prone to cause seal damage from nicks and wear. 6 Precision Seeding The unique features of the XTC Seed Opener include an optimized opener-to-packer distance and a one-to-one contour ratio. When equipped with narrow seed knives, no other independent seeding system is better suited for producers who are dedicated to achieve precision seeding results, even in challenging conditions such as over hill tops and through water runs. 7 3 ParalinkTM Control Bolt-On Wheel Assembly The Paralink design maintains the attack angle of the opener in the ground as the opener follows the ground profile. This feature maintains consistent soil flow characteristics with selected openers. A packer wheel assembly can be quickly changed in the field. Get seeding again in minutes! Lube-Free Bushings 8 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. Bolt-On Seed Knife The XTC seed opener design guarantees consistent seed knife angle relative to the ground, regardless of its position. Equip your XTC with a narrow seed knife to achieve accurate placement even at shallow seeding depths. 9 1 7 10 Guidelines are provided to help achieve intended results, but final opener selection, and subsequent field performance is the sole responsibility of the opener manufacturer and the owner. 6 Bourgault Industries Ltd. 4 3 3 2 0 X TC PA R A L I N K H O E D R I L L 23 3 2 5 8 Built to Last Strong, well-designed cast components resist bending and breaking, even when conditions are tough. You don’t have to worry about bent seed arms not tracking. 9 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. PRECISION IN DESIGN 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 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. 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 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. w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m 24 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 Mid Row Bander, Mid Row Banders, and MRB are registered trademarks of Bourgault Industries Ltd. in Canada and U.S.A. Available on: the Series 3320 Paralink Hoe Drills, the 5810 AHD, the 3710 ICD and the 5925 ACD. 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. w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m 26 The MRB®III 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. 1 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. 4 2 MRBIIIs are raised & lowered hydraulically. This feature makes the MRBIII convenient to lock up when not in use. 5 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. 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. Bourgault Industries Ltd. 3 Hydraulic Actuation 7 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. Simple & Easy Depth Adjustment B Closer Tine or Retaining Wheel Option Shims on the hydraulic cylinder are used for setting the depth. (one ¼" shim = ½" depth) 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. Extra shims are stored on the top mounting pin for convenient access. 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. 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. 8 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. M I D R O W B A N D E R S III 27 9 Combo-Boot The versatile combo-boot allows you to select between dry, liquid, or anhydrous forms of fertilizer application. A single 1-¼" diameter tertiary line is used for dry product delivery. 2 A 10 The large 20-½" diameter single bevel boron steel coulter is set at a 4.5° angle to open the soil just enough to deposit the fertilizer.

PROXIMIT Y SENSOR AUTO CLUTCH SWITCH 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. (Note: Auto clutch switch is standard on the 3320 PHD™ and 3710 ICD) 6000 SERIES AIR SEEDER 43 D UA L FA N & H I G H O U T P U T FA N O P T I O N S P R O D U C T L I F T S Y S T E M (6350 – 6700ST) Today’s larger seeding systems require a large volume of air for accurate and consistent product rates. Bourgault utilizes a two fan product delivery system for double-shoot air kits to maximize efficiency, simplify settings, and to minimize any plugging problems. Don’t strain yourself by lugging seed bags or calibration boxes up the tank stairs! Simply lift and then hydraulically to the top of the air seeder platform (250 lb capacity). Bourgault also has the Higher Output Fan option if you are planning to apply very high rates with larger drills. The Model 591 Monitor reports standard air seeder functions including fan speed, theoretical application rate, bin levels, area seeded, & ground speed. You can easily customize the screens to stay on top of activities for up to four products at once.

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. Bourgault Industries Ltd. FIVE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY 8 9 1 0 C U LT I V A T O R 49 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 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. 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. 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. SUPERIOR RUNNING GEAR DESIGN 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 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. w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m 8 9 1 0 C U LT I V A T O R 50 8910 TILL AGE OPTIONS Check out page 53 for further details on Bourgault’s tillage options.

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.

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 large 20-½" 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 5925-42 Working Widths 9.8" Spacing Weight* 5925-52 42'6" 52'3" 12.6" Spacing 42' 54'7" 9.8" w MRBIII 31,700 lb 40,250 lb 12.6" w MRBIII 28,650 lb 37,200 lb Packer Options Steel 2-¼", 3-½", 4-½" / Rubber 3" * all weights are estimates and are subject to change w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m T H E B O U R G A U LT C O M M I T M E N T T O S U P E R I O R P R O D U C T S A N D S E R V I C E . 58 Bourgault Industries Ltd.
