1
Simple Depth Control
Bourgault incorporates an indexed pin depth adjustment that is simple and repeatable. Each position provides 1/6" of adjustment, for a total range of 2-½" (sets seed depth range for QDA systems).
2
Quick Hydraulic Response
The Bourgault PHD utilizes a 1¼" diameter cylinder for quick lifting in the headlands and reduced hydraulic demand.
3
ParaLink™ Control
The ParaLink™ design maintains the attack angle of the opener in the ground as the opener follows the ground profile, resulting in consistent soil flow and superior seed placement.
4
Superior Piston Seals
The hydraulic cylinder is equipped with double u-cup piston seals which offer excellent protection from wear and damage that may cause internal leakage.
5
Extended Life Arm Pivots
The arm pivots are equipped with needle bearings and hardened grease-able pins to ensure a long service life.
6
Greater Opener to Packer Distance
The PLS™ opener is designed with an optimum opener-to-packer distance. This allows soil to flow into the seed row and aids residue to pass through the frame. This is confirmed by the large majority of Farmers who operate Bourgault seeding systems on a 10" row spacing.
7
Choice of Seed Openers
Regardless of its position, the ParaLink™ design guarantees consistent seed knife angle relative to soil flow, maintaining a consistent furrow for each of the seed knives or opener tips available. Packer selection is also critical when considering the best opener for your operation.
8
Choice of Packer Wheel
To suit your specific seeding requirements, Bourgault offers several packer wheel options to match your opener selection.
9
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 poorly resulting in erratic row spacing and possible seed damage.
