Telescoping Marker Saves Room During Transport
This new telescoping, hydraulically-operated marker for air seeders, field cultivators, planters, drills, etc., folds up tight against the side of the implement, saving room during transport. It's also built lighter but stronger than conventional markers, says Mandako Agri Marketing Ltd., Plum Coulee, Manitoba.
The marker is built in two sections and uses a hydraulic cylinder to swing the marker out. At the same time, an orbit motor is used to extend a 4- to 12-ft. long telescoping section. The orbit motor is connected to a ball screw that rides along a worm gear drive mounted inside the telescoping section. As the cylinder swings the marker out, the motor drives the screw to fully extend the telescoping section. The process is reversed to bring the marker back in for transport. There are no cables or hinges and fewer parts to wear out than on conventional markers, says the company.
Models are available to fit implements up to 62 ft. wide.
Sells for about $2,000 per marker depending on size.
