Flexi-Coil AIR SEEDERS Air Seeders (42B) 21-5-26 The company's 8000 planter/drill has a 3-pt. hitch on back of the tank, allowing you to mount conventional toolbar row units and plant both corn and soybeans with the same rig. The tank is divided, allowing you to use two different types of fertilizer as you plant. For example, you can plant corn in 30-in. rows while placing phosphorus and potash 2 1/2 in. from the row and nitrogen 10 in. away. To switch to soybeans, the planter boxes are removed and the fertilizer openers adjusted to operate together with the row openers, al-lowing you to plant in 10-in. rows. The air cart can also be used with a field cultivator to plant beans. The air delivery system is used to blow soybean seed into the ground. Corn seed is delivered conventionally by the planter's row units. The system can also be used as a no-till air drill by fitting it with Barton openers for ultra-low disturbance seeding of wheat or beans. "It lets you plant corn and narrow row beans with the accuracy of the best row crop planters on the market, and apply fertilizer in a cost-efficient manner," says Terry Bogden. "The air cart is available in three configurations - as a tow-between model, a tow-between with 3-pt. hitch, or as a pull-type cart. The tank is available in 130, 170, and 230-bu. sizes. We plan to have a 340-bu. model at the Farm Progress Show that has three compartments." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Flexi-Coil Inc., Box 3159, Minot, N. Dak. 58702 (ph 701 858-5500).
