Superior Performance

FH 330 Series have twelve floatation tires under all 3-plex models and eighteen under our 5-plex model

The FH 330 Series Floating Hitch Cultivator delivered excellent performance in the toughest tillage and seeding demands.

Offered from 28' to 52' working widths.
All FH 330 Series Cultivators used a 330 lb. initial tension spring cushion shank assembly.
8" spacing in combination with a full 5-row frame construction provided superior results.
40" spacing between shanks on the first and second rows facilitated good trash flow.

High tensile strength, hollow structural frame tubing

Superior Performance in the Toughest Tillage & Seeding Situations

The Floating Hitch System was a standard feature on the 330 series.
The Quick Shift Depth Control was a standard feature on all the Floating Hitch Series cultivators and could also be retrofit to any Bourgault tillage utilizing the Bourgault cylinder master - slave hydraulic system.
The walking axle/castor wheel hydraulic lift system provides this unit with a one time levelling requirement. In hilly land conditions depth control is unparalleled.
The increasing popularity of air seeding, accurate depth control has become very important.
One of the most common reasons for poor depth control is inadequate floatation. FH 330 Series have twelve floatation tires under all 3-plex models and eighteen under our 5-plex model.

All 330 series cultivators used a 330 lb. initial tension spring cushion shank assembly.

The double extension spring design is set with an initial tension of 330 lbs.

The body is constructed of ductile steel casting with a single 7/8" pivot point and Nylatron wear bushing.
7/8" x 2" tempered shank.
27" sweep-to-frame clearance.
15" actual obstacle clearance.
Standard sweep used is a 1/4" x 11"
