8800 Floating Hitch Cultivator

The 8800 Field Cultivator combines the field finish of a field cultivator with the trash clearance of a chisel plow.

The 8" spaced 5-row floating hitch cultivator was popular for air seeding.
Offered with 375 lb. or 500 lb. spring trip openers.
Available from 28' to 60' working widths.

High tensile strength, hollow structural frame tubing

Ideal for Air Seeding, Tillage, & Granular Incorporation

The full 5-row frame construction consists of hollow structural frame tubing, providing high tensile strength.
- 102" frame depth
- 11'4" between the caster wheel and centre walking axle pivot
- Easy front to back levelling
Pole hitch on models up to 40' provide a tighter turning radius.
Patented parallel lift linkage system
Greaseless caster wheel parallel link

The 8800 is the 8" spacing 5-row floating hitch

The 8800 Cultivator was available with a 375 lb. or 500 lb. working force spring trip. Generally speaking, both trips perform equally well in most soils, however the 375 pound assemblies were recommended in the more stony soils whereas the 500 pound assemblies were recommended in the tougher soils.

The 8800 Cutlivator was available with a 375 pounds per foot working force trip or a 500 pounds per foot working force trip.

Shank Assembly

Bourgault trips constructed with ductile steel castings and a single pivot point and Nylatron® wear bushing.

375 lb. initial tension spring trip with 3/4" shank
500 lb. initial tension spring trip with 7/8" shank
Standard sweep - 47 degree stem, 1-3/4" holes centers, 1/4" x 11"

Cultivator Characteristics

8" overall shank spacing
32" minimum between any two shanks
27" ground to frame clearance
12" obstacle clearance with conventional sweeps

Bourgault 3 bar or 4 bar harrows provide a superior field finish.
Equip with mounted packers and narrow openers to achieve minimum or no-till seeding.
An optional "Quick Attach" bracket allows conversion of the harrow system to the mounted packer system in minutes.

Mounted Pacers for Minimal or No-Till Seeding

Mounted Packers for Direct Seeding

Equip your Bourgault cultivator with mounted packers and narrow openers to achieve minimum or no-till seeding.

After seeding, remove the openers and quick change packers, install sweeps and harrows and you've converted the implement back to a cultivator.

Mounted Packers fit all Bourgault 8 inch and 12 inch spaced cultivators.
The 7, 8, 9 and 10 wheel gang forces are adjustable from 40 to 70 pounds.

Superior Field Finish

Bourgault 3 bar or 4 bar harrows provide a superior field finish over all others. A heavy duty compression spring delivers the necessary down force while still providing 22" of obstacle clearance. Only 3/8" x 16" straight tines are used to provide uniform trash shedding.

Built with serviceability in mind, pivot points are equipped with Nylatron® bushings, which means NO GREASING. An optional "Quick Attach" bracket allows conversion of the harrow system to the mounted packer system in minutes.

Available Sizes:

3 bar - 4½ ft. (1.37 m) 6 ft. (1.8 3 m)
