Applicator 57 president’s message Bourgault is continuously pursuing the development of innovative, leading edge products. We strive to deliver to our customers the most durable and reliable products in the industry. The Paralink Hoe Drill is our latest innovation. The PHD , with its ultra-precise, and highly stable Paralink opener system, coupled with Bourgault’s patented MRB technology produces the ultimate independant, low-disturbance seeding system; not only is the seed placement the most precise and fertilizer placement the safest, the PHD is designed to be the most robust and durable independent opener drill in the industry. TM TM TM ® TM For more than 30 years, Bourgault equipment has consistently provided its customers with the least down time, lowest operating costs and highest resale values. As an example, take the Bourgault Dual Purpose Cultivators manufactured 30 years ago. Last year, the extremely wet weather forced some farmers to cultivate and repair their badly rutted fields. Having sold, or retired their cultivators several years earlier because direct seeding had made them obsolete, these farmers needed to re-purchase a cultivator. In some cases, Bourgault cultivators that were more than 30 years old were purchased. These Bourgault units were either ready to go or were put back into service for a very low cost. Furthermore, these Bourgault cultivators could be used for another 30 years. No other cultivator even comes close to delivering this type of durability! At Bourgault, we remain 100% committed to designing and producing the best equipment on the planet. We believe that our track record proves that we will consistently deliver on this commitment. Gerry Bourgault, PEng. President of Bourgault Industries Ltd.

Se e d i n g S y s t e m s 6 3310 Paralink Hoe Drill TM The Bourgault 3310 PHD is the culmination of thousands of hours ™ of research, design and testing. The goal of consistent seed placement was a key factor in the objectives governing design of this implement. By achieving this benchmark, Bourgault can offer the best performing independent depth seeding system with the greatest flexibility at the lowest risk over the widest range of conditions. ™ ™ Devin Lung has a passion for mechanical engineering and design, and working with the land. Devin brings a balance between farming challenges and practical solutions to the equipment he is involved in developing. His work with Bourgault has brought him to leading a team of Engineers in the development of the 3310 Paralink Hoe Drill. “As a designer, I was focused from the very beginning to help develop a seeding system which could provide the most consistent results over the widest range of conditions. As a farmer and seed producer, and seeing the results of our work, I was able to justify the purchase a 3310 PHD for my own family farm.” Bourgault Mid Row Banders The 3310 PHD is built to the same standards of ingenuity, durability and simplicity as every other Bourgault product. Bourgault backs this with industry leading service and warranty. The superior design and durable construction will help ensure trouble-free operation and greater resale value. One of the defining features of the 3310 Paralink Hoe Drill is the optional Mid Row Banders . Bourgault Series 25 MRBs allow producers to place any rate and form of nitrogen fertilizer and sulphur between every other seed row without danger of seed contact. Other benefits include superior seedbed integrity, faster seeding operation, greater emergence, and superior residue flow. No compromises are required to seed in a single-pass. ™ w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m D E V I N L U N G P. E n g , F a r m e r Tradition of Excellence Continues 7 ® ™ ® ® Paralink TECHNOLOGY Versatility. Smooth Field Finish One of the many benefits of using the 3310 Paralink Hoe Drill is the smooth, even field finish. By utilizing a narrow edge-on shank, the seed-only openers displace a minimal amount of soil. The optional coulter MRBs also minimize disturbance when placing the nitrogen between every other row. The result is a smooth, even field finish with less wear and tear on spraying and harvesting equipment. TM ® Paralink System Provides Choice of Seed Tips ™ The Bourgault 3310 incorporates a parallel link system for the seed opener to maintain a consistent tip angle in relation to the soil, regardless of its position. As a result, the operator is free to choose the tip that will work best for his/her conditions and farming techniques. Careful selection of the right tip will help ensure the best possible seeding results. The openers are mounted on an edge-on style shank to minimize soil disturbance and throw, allowing a greater range of seeding speeds, while minimizing soil disturbance. Many vendors have a variety openers available that are compatible with the 3310 PHD™. Low Maintenance The Paralink linkages pivot on lube-free long life composite fibre bushings. These bushings are designed for the demanding environment of agricultural equipment. Strong cast components and weldments of the arms are designed for seeding around potholes and other field obstacles. The 3310 is backed with the same 3 year limited warranty as all other Bourgault products. ™ Adjustable Hydraulic Pressure The hydraulic configuration on the 3310 PHD efficiently utilizes the tractor’s hydraulic system to adjust packing and trip force for the banding coulters and Paralink seed arm. The pressure may be adjusted during the seeding operation for simple and accurate control of the packing force and of the trip break-out force. The hydraulic arrangement has been designed with integrated line locks and may be used to operate the banding coulters and seeding shanks, or independently. Operators may set packing force as low as 70 lb per run in wet conditions to prevent over-packing and reduce draft. In a dry year, the packing force can be set to an excess of 200 lb per run to conserve all available moisture. The 3310 will encompass the packing range currently offered by our existing 8810 and 5710 seeding systems combined. ™ 9 Precision Seeding optimal opener-to-packer distance allows soil to flow better into the seed row, providing consistent seed depth and the ability to seed at higher speeds. w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m ™ Lube-free fibre composite bushings Model 400 in-cab console to adjust opener pressure and to raise and lower openers. CHRIS FEDEROWICH of Ashville, MB - 3310 PHD Owner ™ “The 3310 works through trash like you wouldn’t believe.” “I’m up to 6.3 m.p.h. seeding Canola with a good finishing job.” “The most important feature of the 3310 is seed placement. You know every seed row is placed at the depth set.” Paralink P TECHNOLOGY Well Engineered, Well Built Frame Consistent Seed Depth in Variety of Environments The 3310 PHD has been designed and tested to meet the same demanding guidelines for quality as every other Bourgault product offered. The 5" by 5" frame with large fore-aft beams on the mainframe ensures many years of reliable service. This heavy and durable construction gives the 3310 PHD the ability to penetrate hardpan soils while still providing available packing force of over 200 lbs per opener. Active down pressure on the inner wings aids the transfer of force, ensuring the frame weight is available to all of the openers. The Paralink arm is designed to achieve a balance between independent contour-ability and stable opener operation. An optimal seed opener-topacker distance was developed to ensure good contouring characteristics and productive seeding speeds while providing a stable operation. The result of these design features is consistent seed placement over a wide range of conditions. The Paralink design also enables producers to select from a wide variety of openers to equip their 3310 PHD . ™ ™ ™ ™ ™ Superior Residue Clearance Features such as a seed-only opener on each shank, optimal seed opener to packer distance, edge-on shank design, and residue cutting MRB H coulters allow the 3310 to deliver excellent trash flow in challenging conditions without compromising the seedbed. Again and again, customers have commented on the excellent trash clearance on both the 10" and 12" spaced units. ® Series 25 MRB Fertilizer Applicators ® The incorporation of optional Series 25 Mid Row Banders continues Bourgault’s commitment to providing minimal risk one-pass seeding systems. The MRBs equipped on the 3310 utilize a hydraulic system to lift the coulters from working to transport position and adjust down pressure. Producers can choose between a 10" or 12" spacing without the worry of increased risk of seed damage from the nitrogen fertilizer. ® Easy-Adjust Depth Control With the indexed pin depth adjustment, managing the seeding depth across the unit is simple and repeatable. Depth can be set at 1/6" increments between 0" to 2½". Effective Seeding Speeds An optimal seed opener-to-packer distance allows soil to flow around the seed opener and back into the seed row at productive seeding speeds. The Bourgault PHD openers are mounted on an edge-on style shank to minimize soil disturbance and throw, allowing a greater range of seeding speeds when equipped with narrow openers and MRBs . Operators have commented that they are comfortable with a speed increase of ½ to 1 mph over a similarly equipped traditional hoe drill and still maintain seedbed integrity. ™ ® 3310-40 No. of Sections 3 No. of Rows 3 Working Widths 10" spacing 40' 0" 12" spacing 40' 0" Frame Widths Main Frame 15' 7" Inner Wing 12' 1" Outer Wing N/A Transport Width 20' 8" Transport Height (max)16' 3" *Weight (approx) 10" w mrb 26200 lb 10" w/o mrb 22600 lb 12" w mrb 24500 lb 12" w/o mrb 21400 lb Tires Main Frame Front Main Frame Rear Inner Wing Front Inner Wing Rear Outer Wing Front Outer Wing Rear 13.5Lx15FI (4) 11Lx15FI (4) 11Lx15FI (4) 11Lx15FI (2) N/A N/A 3310-48 3310-55 3310-65 3310-75 5 3 5 3 5 5 5 5 48' 4" 48' 0" 55' 0" 54' 0" 65' 0" 66' 0" 75' 0" 74' 0" 15' 7" 10' 2" 6' 1" 22' 6" 14' 1" 15' 7" 11' 5" 8' 2" 22' 6" 16' 3" 18' 4" 14' 11" 13' 5" 24' 3" 17' 3" 18' 4" 13' 2" 10' 4" 24' 3" 18' 6" 30950 lb 26550 lb 28800 lb 25000 lb 34450 lb 29450 lb 31950 lb 27650 lb 42000 lb 36000 lb 39000 lb 34000 lb 46000 lb 40000 lb 42800 lb 37000 lb 13.5Lx15FI (4) 11Lx15FI (4) 11Lx15FI (4) 11Lx15FI (2) 11Lx15FI (2,4) 11Lx15FI (2) 13.5x15FI (4) 11Lx15FI (4) 11Lx15FI (4) 11Lx15FI (2) 11Lx15FI (2,4) 11Lx15FI (2) 16.5x16.1FI (4) 13.5Lx15FI (4) 13.5Lx15FI (4) 11Lx15FI (2) 13.5Lx15FI (4) 11Lx15FI (2) 16.5x16.1FI (4) 13.5Lx15FI (4) 13.5Lx15FI (4) 11Lx15FI (2) 13.5Lx15FI (4) 11Lx15FI (2) 11 w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m MODEL * all weights are estimates and are subject to change Shank Spacing Trip assembly 10" or 12" Independent depth control w/ in-cab adjustable trip force Trip Assembly Travel + or - 6" Packing force In-cab adjustment from 70 to 200 lb Opener depth adjustment Pin style Packer Options 4.8" pneumatic Pneumatic Tire Pressure 16 to 50 psi Openers BTT Edge on style (less cat. 1 tip) (will accomodate other after market openers) Air kits Single-shoot or double-shoot Blockage monitors - Optical blockage monitors available in single run (1 per manifold) or full run (1 per tertiary line) Row to row spacing 37.5" Front to Rear Wheel 191" with MRB / 169" without MRB Obstacle Clearance 8" MRB / 10" opener Safety Chain & Lights Standard Wing Transport Locks Standard Mid Row Banders (opt.)

J A S O N K I R S C H , A . S . C . T. , C a n a d i a n S a l e s M a n a g e r w i t h B o u rg a u l t , F a r m e r Farming knowledge was imperative in the design of the 5710. Jason, as a project manager of the 5710 design team and an active farmer, was able to draw from his farming experience to deliver the features and options that provide true value and performance farmers need to achieve profitability. As a result, the 5710 has become the most widely used seeding implement in the direct seeding industry. 13 w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m The 5710 frame features five trip-mount rows 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. > The frame of the 5710 allows weight to be transferred throughout the frame, allowing the 5710 to aggressively penetrate compacted areas. The result is uniform seed placement in conditions where flexible frame designs simply ride up. > The exceptional frame is designed to tow large air seeder tanks, fertilizer caddies and accommodate MRBs. Se e d i n g S y s t e m s 14 Quick and Easy Levelling Set Seed Depth in Seconds The 5710 is the easiest drill to level in the industry! Easily accessible heavy-duty turnbuckles, found both on the castor wheels and packer gangs, can be adjusted with the provided wrenches. Detailed instructions are also located near the point of adjustment. Correct seeding depth is a critical factor in every farming operation. Depth requirements will change with factors such as seed type, moisture conditions and soil type. Farmers need the ability to make seeding adjustments when the conditions change. The accurate and infinitely adjustable Quick Shift Depth Control system provides one point depth control in seconds! Ease your workload with a design that works for you. A wide selection of packer wheels are available for all seeding requirements. > All steel wheel (21½" dia.) - 2¼", 3½" and 4½" wide - Thick steel cap with 11 ga. side-walls - Weld seams do not contact soil - Mud-scrapers optional for steel wheels > Rubber faced semi-pneumatic wheel (22" dia.) - 3" and 4" wide > Fully pneumatic wheel - 5½" wide Stone kickers standard on all packers State-Of-The-Art Hydraulic System The simple, yet durable hydraulic system ensures that your seed and fertilizer are on target all the time. Hydraulic cylinders incorporate a sophisticated seal design with high quality components. An in-line filter is mounted on each master cylinder to eliminate contamination. A precision line lock valve eliminates rebound and keeps the series cylinders locked into place while seeding. Each step of the hydraulic system has been designed for durability and accuracy. Excellent Weight Distribution for Even Packing The 5710 has been designed to produce even packing pressure across the entire width of the machine. Heavy wing lift cylinders have been mounted on the wing to transfer weight away from the heavier main frame. The maximum number of packer wheels are located on the main frame for optimum weight distribution. Packer sections pivot from side-to-side so entire sections can walk up and down to clear obstacles with ease and to distribute packing pressures evenly to ensure good seed to soil contact.

It has seeded 40,000 acres with zero dollars put into it. The summer of 2005, after 6 years of use, I decided we would check it over closely and fix it up. There was nothing that needed replacing. Pins, bushing and linkages are not showing any excessive wear. Even the packer gangs were tight.” The Mid Row Banders are also proving to be durable. “They are costing about 10 cents per acre to maintain”, says Randy. Primary & Secondary Manifolds The Bourgault product delivery system is designed for accurate distribution and low incidence of seed damage (PAMI test #702). Quick inspection manifold caps are made from polyurethane to absorb impact and minimize build up of dust or seed treatment. Secondary lines use highly durable hose that is many times more durable than competitor’s hose. 15 w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m The Most Durable Packer Wheels in the Industry Size and Row Spacing The 5710 AHD is available in sizes from 25' to 74' with a choice of 7", 9.8" and 12.6" row spacings depending on implement size.

Standard Standard Optional on 12.6" and 9.8" spacings with NH3, dry, or liquid fertilizer tubes Optional on 12.6" and 9.8" spacings Standard The 5710 Requires Little Maintenance It takes little time to grease a 5710. Bourgault designers incorporated high quality replaceable wear-resistant components such as Nylatron, case hardened steel or composite bushings in many 17 pivot locations. Even the rockshafts are mounted on maintenance free nylon bearings. This leaves only a minimum number of greasing locations required on a 5710 Air Hoe Drill. w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m Bourgault has designed the 5710 with the packer wheels mounted closely behind the rear trips and the front castor wheels positioned within the first row of the air hoe drill’s frame. This results in a very short Contour Depth (distance between packers and castor wheels) enabling the 5710 to better follow undulant land. 5725 Air Coulter Drill Equip with Bourgault Mid Row Banders® Bourgault’s 5725 ACD is designed for one-pass seeding with the optional Mid Row Bander® System. Mid Row Banders operate independently of the seed coulters, depositing granular, liquid, or NH3 fertilizer between the seed rows. One-pass seeding is achieved while maintaining moisture levels, and soil and seedbed quality, to create the ideal growing environment. The 5725 Air Coulter Drill is the ultimate Zero-Till seeding implement! The 5725 ACD is designed to operate in managed field residue and stubble which is generally cut high to capture moisture and bind soil. The coulters provide minimal soil and surface disturbance, shielding the soil from the evaporating effects of the wind and the sun. When water and soil conservation is key, the 5725 ACD performs second to none. Sealing in the Moisture Extreme Zero-Till More Durable, More Productive Bourgault Air Coulter Drills are the lowest maintenance coulter drill on the market. Competitor’s coulter units have a multitude of linkages and pivots that are prone to bending and wear. The Bourgault 5725 ACD uses a single point depth control allowing the depth to be set in seconds, saving you hours in adjustment time and reducing any chance of error. The 5725 ACD pictured at right is seeding directly into a field harvested with a stripper header. The coulters cut through the straw and accurately place the seed and fertilizer in the soil. This successful zero-till operation demonstrates the 5725’s ability to operate in extreme conditions. Seed Into All Stubble Types Competitors’ units, equipped with gauge wheels tend to ride on the corn or sunflower stalks, resulting in uneven seed depth or seed left uncovered. The 5725 sets seeding depth at the frame, providing more consistent seed depth in residue. The coulter discs will cut through field residue without stalks or vines wrapping around shanks, so even in corn, sunflower, or soya bean stubble, the 5725 will achieve consistent seeding depths. 19 w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m The flap of soil cut by the coulter is directed back to the furrow by the closer wheel. Packing force of 150 to 200 lbs. per wheel ensures that the furrow is well sealed, even in dry conditions. Existing soil moisture is retained to ensure optimum germination and emergence. Steel and rubber cap packers are available for both models. 5 7 2 5 A I R C O U LT E R D R I L L Model Se e d i n g S y s t e m s 20 5725-29 5725-34 No. of Sections 3 3 2 2 No. of Rows Working Widths 9.8" Spacing 29'5" 34'4" 12.6" Spacing 29'5" 33'7" Frame Widths 12'10" Main Frame 12'10" 8'4" 10'0" Inner Wing Outer Wing N/A N/A 18'6" 18'6" Transport Width (@ Top) 12'7" 15'2" Transport Height (Max) Weights: (with 3.5" steel packer option, without MRBs) 9.8" Spacing 20000 lb 22200 lb Weight Packages 9.8" Spacing (With MRBs) 1200 lb N/A 5725-40 5725-47 5725-50 5725-60 3 2 5 2 5 2 5 2 40'10" 42'0" 47'4" 46'2" 53'11" 52'6" 63'8" 63'0" 15'9" 13'1" N/A 21'7" 17'2" 12'10" 10'1" 7'1" 20'0" 15'0" 15'9" 9'11" 8'8" 22'0" 15'8" 15'9" 12'6" 10'0" 26'0" 18'0" 26800 lb 29800 lb 32400 lb 39000 lb 1200 lb 600 lb 2400 lb N/A The Fixed Height Coulter — The Heart of the 5725 ACD The Model 5725 Air Coulter Drill utilizes a coulter assembly mounted to a spindle arm and an extension spring to maintain pressure on the disc as it runs through the soil. 1 The Coulter Disc is a 20" alloy steel disc set at a specific angle to part the soil and produce a furrow. 2 The Carbide Floating Scraper scours the disc as it turns to prevent plugging. Secondly, it helps maintain the furrow as the seed is being placed. 3 The Dry Seed Boot directs the seed into the furrow produced by the disc. Additional boots are available on request. 4 The Floating Scraper Adjust allows for pressure adjustment on the carbide scraper using the handle supplied. 5 The Floating Scraper Slide allows for the adjustment of the floating scraper placement as the coulter wears. 6 The Extension Spring provides a trip force of 430 lb for effective soil penetration. 7 The sturdy Upright Arm is constructed of 3"x3" tubing. 8 The Spring Tower anchors the spring to the drill frame. 9 A Steel Closer Wheel works behind the coulter opener to ensure the parted soil is moved back over the furrow to prevent the loss of product. 10The Outside Tine Scraper keeps the side of the coulter disc free of mud or clay buildup. This scraper is essential in moist, high clay soils. 6 7 9 10 1 4 5 2 3 w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m “Trash clearance was very good. We seeded into standing sunflower, corn, and wheat stubble. We also had very good results seeding into bean ground. It actually has the best residue clearance of all my drills. We seeded between 6 and 6.5 mph, but the drill still left a smooth field finish. The germination was the best in my area.” “We purchased this unit with Mid Row Banders. The move to one-pass seeding was critical for our operation to reduce our input costs and labor requirements. In the end we were able to save on fuel and man hours with this system.” Roger has been farming for over 45 years. He has seeded a variety of crops including wheat, duram, barley, canola, beans, pintos, sunflowers, corn, and winter wheat. Roger also sits on the board of directors for the Dakota Pasta Growers Co. Roger has over 10,000 acres logged on this seeding implement in the 2007 season. ROGER KENNER of Leeds, Nor th Dakota — Bourgault 54' 5725 ACD Owner 8 21 8810 Culti-DrillTM The 8810 Culti-Drill™ provides the ability to adopt a minimal disturbance seeding practice, yet reconfigure the unit for conventional seeding or tillage. The Culti-Drill™ is ideal for areas which typically experience moist seeding conditions, but may occasionally have springs with reduced moisture. It is also ideal for soil that has high to average susceptibility to over-packing. tillage conventional / high disturbance seeding - high moisture conditions OPTION 2 conventional / normal - low moisture conditions OPTION 3 low or minimal disturbance one-pass seeding OPTION 4 The 8810 Culti-Drill is a Versatile Seeding Tool! * additional specification information can be found in the 8810 Tillage section w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m “We looked at the competitor’s out on the market place, but they tend to leave the field pretty rough. The Mid Row Banders leave a better field finish, and require relatively low horsepower to pull them.” “I liked the heavy duty rubber packers on the 8810. The mud doesn’t stick, and we have that ability to adjust our packing pressure. The packers spread over a wider area than the poly packers, and cover the seed row better.” CHARLES AND SUSAN GILSON of Medora MB – 8810 Culti-Drill™ Owner OPTION 1 23 Se e d i n g S y s t e m s 24 Excellent Flotation The 8810 Culti-Drill is available with 10" spacing and features heavy duty steel mounted on-row packers which will provide similar packing characteristics to an air drill, yet still provide the versatility of an 8810 cultivator. Packer wheel options include: 2¼" steel, 3" and 4" (5710 only) rubber capped steel (semi-pneumatic), and 5½" pneumatic. These are the same 22" diameter packer wheels used on the 5710 Air Hoe Drills. Packers are arranged in small 4 or 5 wheel gangs. This provides even packing on seed rows through hills, dips, or stones. The 8810 Culti-Drill™ incorporates in-frame running gear. In wet conditions, more weight can be transferred to the wheels to prevent the castor wheels from diving into the mud. The walking in-frame running gear is slightly biased to the back tire. This again helps prevent the front wheel from dipping down in wetter conditions. ™ Adjustable Packing Pressure The heavy-duty packer assemblies mounted on the Titan™ arms can be adjusted to suit the seeding conditions. Packing can be adjusted from 50 lbs to 80 lbs per wheel to match crop type and field conditions. Dry seeding conditions will warrant heavier pressure delivered to the packer wheels, whereas wetter conditions will require less pressure. Excellent Residue Clearance The 8810 has five rows of shanks, mounted on a 10" spacing, with a minimum of 40" distance between shanks on the same row. Special consideration is given to clearance around the wheels within the frame of the implement. The Mid Row Banders® are mounted on the front of the frame, which cuts through the residue before it reaches the seed openers. These features all help to provide a remarkable residue clearance. Direct Seed with Bourgault MRBs® The 8810 Culti-Drill™ is designed to accommodate the Bourgault Mid Row Bander® System for direct seeding applications. With the Mid Row Banders® placing the nitrogen fertilizer between every second seed row, producers can select a narrow seed opener to minimize soil disturbance. One-pass seeding is achieved while maintaining current moisture levels, and soil and seedbed quality, to create the ideal growing environment. When nitrogen is not being applied, or the 8810 is required for a tillage application, the MRBs® can be parked up! 25 w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m A Wide Range of Packer Options Place Nitrogen in the Ideal Location in One-Pass MRBs place nitrogen fertilizer between the seed rows, shielding the seedlings from the nitrogen’s harmful toxic and salt effects. The separation allows only the mobile and beneficial nitrate form of the fertilizer to reach the seedlings for optimum nutrient uptake. Producers have the versatility to choose from granular, liquid, or anhydrous without worry. From every angle, the Bourgault Mid Row Bander® system is the most beneficial and lowest risk one-pass seeding system available. B A R RY P E N T E L I U K , I n s i n g e r S K – 5710 70’ AHD Owner Barry and his family continuous crop 7800 acres near Yorkton, SK. “We have been using Mid Row Banders on Bourgault drills now for over 10 years. Because of the amount of straw we see, the MRBs provide the benefit of cutting through that straw without plugging. This also saves time after seeding, as we don’t have to harrow straw piles.” “The placement of the fertilizer away from the seed is excellent. We have no trouble from seed burn from the nitrogen. We’ve done alot of acres with the mid row banders, and have been very happy with the performance.” MRBs ® Mid Row Banders ® Mid Row Banders® open a window of opportunity for farmers who wish to maximize the benefits of one-pass seeding, yet avoid the risks that are inherent with other one-pass systems found on the market. For over a decade and through millions of acres, Bourgault Mid Row Banders® have provided guaranteed seed-to-fertilizer separation and seedbed integrity. The Bourgault MRB® system has truly revolutionized one-pass seeding. Mid Row Bander, Mid Row Banders and MRB are registered trademarks of Bourgault Industries Ltd. in Canada and the U.S.A. Benefits of Mid Row Banders 27 w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m > Seedbed Integrity – MRBs coupled with narrow seed openers provide a superior low disturbance single-pass seeding system. Wider profile sidebanding openers create more disturbance, exposing the seedlings to potential emergence problems from seedbed fracturing, particularly in dry seeding conditions. > Guaranteed Separation – MRBs guarantee separation of nitrogen fertilizer from the seed row. Side-banding systems may cause the seed to mix with the fertilizer depending on a number of factors such as: seeding speed, soil texture, opener condition, and soil moisture. > Versatility – MRBs work well with all forms of nitrogen fertilizer: Dry Urea, Anhydrous Ammonia, and Liquid UAN. Farmers have the choice of using the nitrogen form that is advantageous to their seeding operation. No other one-pass system can offer this range of flexibility with the same degree of safety. > Seeding Efficiency – MRB systems aid seeding efficiency by allowing farmers to seed at higher speeds, while those with side-band systems typically have to maintain a slower seeding speed to reduce soil throwing and soil fracturing by the openers. > Horsepower Requirements/Fuel Consumption – Side-banding openers can pull harder than MRBs with narrow seed knives. Easier pulling MRBs mean less fuel consumed for the same number of acres seeded, as well as less wear and tear on the tractor. Fiberglide bushings in the cast height adjustment mount provide a solid low friction fit on the chrome shafts. Floating scraper adjustment can be made quickly by setting the tension on the spring. Se e d i n g S y s t e m s 28 Adjustment is vertical and infinitely adjustable; this allows the operator to change working height quickly and easily, or “park” in the up position when not in use. The initial trip force is set at 450 lbs for excellent soil penetration. A heavy duty arm with a 4" wide pivot provides durability through extreme conditions. A composite fiber selflubricating bushing with urethane seals and plastic thrust washers pivots on a 1" diameter chrome pin. A user friendly slide adjust scraper/boot system allows for adjustment as the disc wears. The combo boot is a versatile fertilizer applicator. It can be fitted with distribution hoses for dry urea, or tubes for anhydrous ammonia or liquid fertilizer. The carbide scraper provides many acres of service. The carbide edge and wear pad ensures long life, even in abrasive conditions. The hub is a ductile, greasable, 4 bolt 1500 lb rated capacity and comes with a tapered roller bearing and triple lip seal. The large 20" coulter disc is set at a 5° angle to cut field residue. The initial form of nitrogen fertilizer is ammonia, (NH3). Nitrogen fertilizer, in this form, 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. Mid row banding fertilizer eliminates the chance of the seed coming into contact with the toxic ammonia. Ionic transfer converts ammonia to ammonium, (NH4). Ammonium is not as toxic as ammonia, but can cause seedling damage at an excessive concentration. Ammonium sensitivity varies with plant species and ammonium is not very mobile in the soil. Risk of fertilizer toxicity is reduced in comparison with ammonia, but may impair plant development. Microbial activity in the soil converts ammonium to nitrate (NO3). Nitrate is the safest, most effective form of nitrogen and promotes 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. MRBs Reduce Risk Mid Row Banders prevent crop damage from fertilizer toxicity by providing the required amount of separation between nitrogen and seed to provide protection from ammonia and ammonium, but ready access to nitrate. This separation also prevents salt effect of the fertilizer from desiccating the seed(lings). The management of risk from fertilizer damage allows producers to grow the best crops possible. MRBs Provide Superior Emergence Third party research supports the fact of superior emergence when mid row banding fertilizer. PAMI Report #768 “Emergence and Yield Comparison of Mid Row and Side Banding Seeding/Fertilizer Systems” documents 216 pairs of emergence and yield comparisons over a three year period. Of those 216 pairs, 42 pairs showed significant difference in emergence, of which the mid row banded tests were significantly higher in 33 of the 42 pairs! The ultimate goal of seeding is to achieve the best emergence possible. With Bourgault MRBs, farmers have the best one-pass seeding system to maximize emergence and minimize risk.

With this first product Bourgault Industries began a legacy of agricultural equipment designed under the principles of ingenuity, durability, and simplicity. The long history of tillage systems has evolved into the most advanced and durable units available in the market place. tillage 9400 Chisel Plow Incredibly Effective Trip Design The Bourgault legendary trip design utilizes increasing force geometry to penetrate hard soils. As the soil gets tougher, the shanks begin to tip back ever so slightly. This increases the angle of attack of the sweeps and improves their ability to penetrate. As the trip springs extend, the penetration force increases dramatically. This increase in force returns the shank/sweep to it’s original position. The result is that Bourgault tillage will penetrate ground the competition barely scratches. Durable Spring Trips The Bourgault trip assembly features a single grease-less pivot point equipped with a nylon composite bushing and a grade 8 bolt. Extensive tests have 9800 Rigid Hitch Chisel Plow proven that Bourgault’s trip will have twice the life span of competitor’s systems in normal operating conditions! When maintenance is required, the pivot bushings are easily changed at a price of less than 1/10th of some competitors’ units! Dependable Hydraulics Bourgault incorporates a masterslave hydraulic system for depth control. A precision line lock valve is incorporated to eliminate rebound and to keep the series cylinders locked during operation. Protection is provided by an in-line filter mounted on each master cylinder. The operator can quickly set the operating depth of the entire machine with the standard Quick Shift single point depth control. ™ 43 Dependable Running Gear Quick and Easy to Level Bourgault tillage utilizes extremely durable hubs with the triple lip seals pressed onto the spindle to prevent seal damage from debris wrapping. This seal allows bearings to be overpumped with grease without damage to the seals. The leg style castor wheels greatly reduces the effort required in changing a tire. Front-to-back adjustment is quick and easy by adjusting the screw jack that connects the in-frame running gear to the castor wheel (8810 & 9400). Adjustment screws on top of the depth control cylinders allow side to side adjustment. Wrenches are supplied and fixed to the frame for easy access. Low Maintenance Wherever possible, wear points are protected with nylon, case hardened steel, or composite components. These features allow Bourgault tillage systems to require less grease locations and longer greasing intervals than competitor’s systems. w w w. b o u r g a u l t . c o m 8810 Cultivator The 8810 design allows for the cultivator to be used as both a tillage unit and as a seeding system. The clean and simple floating hitch design, has made this tillage unit a mainstay throughout the small grain regions of North America. Frames Designed for Outstanding Endurance The 8810’s trip layout is designed to achieve unmatched trash clearance. Design ensures good residue flow around the wheels. Distance is maximized between adjacent rows and shanks. The 8810 frame features five trip mount rows sandwiched between continuous members running top and bottom the full depth of the frame. The deep profile provides high strength and many years of trouble-free operation. The design allows weight to be transferred throughout the frame to aggressively penetrate compacted areas, providing uniform seed placement. Designed to tow large air seeder tanks, tow fertilizer caddies, and mount MRBs . Ti l l a g e 44 Maximum Residue with Minimum Effort ® Minimized Contouring Depth Research has proven that the ability to follow field contours is primarily related to frame depth and wheel positioning. The 8810 has the shortest contouring depth in the industry. The front castor wheels are positioned close to the front of the frame and the walking axles are centered in the frame. With this short contouring depth, the 8810 seeds more evenly over the peaks and valleys. Easy to Level Front-to-back adjustment is performed by adjusting the screw jack that connects the in-frame running gear to the castor wheel. Adjustment screws on top of the depth control cylinders allow side to side adjustment. (Wrenches are provided.) 8810 Floating Hitch Cultivator D A R R E N B O R S T M AY E R , P.

An experienced design team using the latest in computer solid modelling and stress analysis design software worked to ensure the cleanest, most effective design. The 9400 has been evaluated over hundreds of hours in extreme conditions, both at the factory and by a select group of demanding co-operators. Customer satisfaction and the high residual value reflects a high degree of success. In fact, a 50% premium over other brands is common for used Bourgault chisel plows! 3-Point Frame to Hitch Attachment The unique three point frame-to-hitch attachment is designed to more uniformly distribute the high horsepower loads that today’s tractors can place on a machine. The hitch has also been designed extra long, measuring 20' on five-plex models. Bourgault designers know that a long hitch increases stability for better tracking in tough tillage conditions. Truss rod kits are also available when mounting a granular applicator tank on the 9400 hitch. Ti l l a g e 46 Excellent Contour Depth Research has proven that the ability to follow field contours is primarily related to frame depth and wheel positioning. The 9400 has the shortest contouring depth in the industry. The front castor wheels are positioned close to the front of the frame and the walking axles are centered in the frame. With this short contour depth, the 9400 tills more evenly through the peaks and valleys and requires less horsepower to pull. 9400 Floating Hitch Chisel Plow 9 4 0 0 F L O AT I N G H I T C H C H I S E L P L O W No. of Sections Working Widths 9400-28 9400-36 9400-46 9400-54 3 3 5 5 46' 48' 50'/ 54' 56' 58' 60' 28' 30' 32' 34'/ 36' 38' 40' 42'/ Frame Widths Main Frame 13'6" 15'6" 15'6" 15'6" Inner Wing 7'5" 10'5" 9'2" 11'0" Outer Wing N/A N/A 6'3" 8'5" 20'11" 24'6" 26'6" N/A 22'0" 22'8" Transport Height (max)15'0" 17'3" 16'5" 16'9" Frame Depth 8'11" 8'11" 8'11" Transport Width (max) 19'3" 6' above ground N/A 8'11" Weights (Base Unit) with 500 lb trips 11750 lb with 600 lb trips Tires Main Frame 12710 lb 13070 lb 17530 lb 18990 lb 14300 lb 19100 lb 20840 lb 9.5Lx15FI(4) 11Lx15FI(4) 11Lx15FI(4) 11Lx15FI(4) Inner Wing 9.5Lx15FI(4) 9.5Lx15FI(4) 9.5Lx15FI(4) 11Lx15FI(4) Outer Wing N/A N/A 9.5Lx15FI(4) 9.5Lx15FI(4) Main Frame Castors9.5Lx15FI(2) 11Lx15FI(2) 11Lx15FI(2) 11Lx15FI(2) Inner Wing Castors 9.5Lx15FI(2) 9.5Lx15FI(2) 9.5Lx15FI(2) 11Lx15FI(2) N/A 9.5Lx15FI(2) 9.5Lx15FI(2) Outer Wing Castors N/A General Specifications (All Sizes) Trip Assemblies 500 lb Spring Cushion 600 lb Spring Cushion 1-1/4" x 2" shank, 31-1/2" of frame to ground clearance, 13" of obstacle clearance Solid Mounted Shank 1-1/4" x 2" shank, 27-1/2" of frame to ground clearance Wheel System Offset walking tandem axles Leg type castor wheels for easy tire removal Wheel Standards Triple-lip seals on 5000 lb hubs (6000 lb hubs on 46' - 54' mainframe walking axles) Safety Chain and Lights Standard Transport Locks Standard Row to Row Spacing 32" minimum Spring tine mounted harrows Opt. 3 or 4 bar or 3 bar heavy duty harrows Mounted Packer system Opt. gang style, or individually mounted Mid Row Banders Opt. with NH3, dry or liquid fertilizer tubes Side Draft Eliminators Optional Mud Scraper Optional, fixed or spring loaded style Hydraulic System Superior quality master/slave, single series ® Hydraulic in-line filter Double line lock/pressure reducing valve Handle Maximum Residue Bourgault’s designers have always made trash clearance a top priority.

The 9800 is the culmination of over 30 years of tillage equipment manufacturing experience, the latest in stress analysis design software and hundreds of hours of extreme endurance testing. The claim is backed up with a 3-year limited warranty. Ti l l a g e 48 A Hitch Fit for the Job Maximum Residue with Minimum Effort The 9800 hitch consists of two 8" side beams that attach near the hinge area to transfer heavy draft loads, and a center beam which transfers all fertilizer/air seeder cart loads to the tractor. An appropriate tongue height can be found regardless of draw bar height or operating depth. The hitch height adjustment mount can be flipped end for end to provide additional ground clearance and hitch adjustment. The 9800 has a four row frame design with shank spacings of 8", 10", 12" or 15". No other chisel plow can even come close to matching the 9800s performance in heavy residue. The four-row design provides generous distance between the sweeps and the wheels. The shank arrangement has been optimized to provide excellent residue flow. Unmatched Frame Strength The frame features 4" x 4" x ¼" wall steel tubing members welded between 4" x 3" x ¼" wall frontto-back members, producing a structure that is extremely strong. With the continuous front to back hitch beams running under the frame, the 9800 is given unmatched frame strength. 9800 Rigid Hitch Chisel Plow Features for High Draft Operation The top cylinder mount has two positions: an 18" lift range regular lift setting and a high pressure 22" setting.

During his involvement with the implement dealership, Frank earned a reputation as an excellent farm equipment mechanic. Through his experience, Frank learned the strengths and weaknesses of the implements he worked on, and felt that he could provide a better designed cultivator to overcome many of the shortcomings he saw. His goal was to produce an implement that could do the job of both a chisel plow and a cultivator. By 1970, Frank had developed a prototype model that was so well received, it convinced Frank, and his partners to go into production. F.P. Bourgault Industries Ltd. was incorporated on May 4, 1973 and began production of the dual-purpose cultivators. Frank Bourgault (at far right) working on a Bourgault cultivator.
