Hiniker Introduces 40-Ft. Air Drill
"Our 4800 air seeder cart is now available with a 130-bu. seed tank and 36 seed outlets which allows you to plant 10-in. rows on a 30-ft. toolbar or 15-in. rows on a 40-ft. toolbar," says Larry Hansen of Hiniker Co., Mankato, Minn.
The air drill was previously available with toolbar widths up to 30 ft. (Vol. 21, No. 5). Toolbars are now available in widths of 15, 20, 30 or 40 ft. and accommodate row spacings of 10, 15, 20, or 30 inches.
"At 7 mph a 40-ft. model can cover 30 acres per hour," notes Hansen.
The air drill's tank is equipped with a rear-mount 3-pt. hitch that carries the drill toolbar. The 40-ft. model has 36 seed outlets with soybean metering wheels and is designed to plant soybeans and small grains in rows spaced 10 to 30 in. apart. The individual toolbar-mounted row units each have their own gauge wheel and parallel linkage. New features include large flotation tires, a double clutch for planting point rows, and wings that fold forward, reducing transport width to 16 ft.
Total cost of the 40-ft. model on 15-in. row spacings is $39,800.
