Bulk Fill Seed Delivery System with no moving parts
The Bulk Fill Seed Delivery System is designed specifically for the CNH Pivot Transport planter. The fan entrains seed in the airflow from each tank, carrying it to the individual row seed meters. Specially designed mini-hoppers incorporate a self-regulating airflow shutoff that maintains a 1-liter (1.06 quart) volume of seed at each meter with no moving parts. The system is completely mounted on the planter structure with the tanks centrally positioned over the planter's large deck. Coupled with large tank openings, the operator can fill the system with neither walkways nor railings. Cleanout is simple with a large, hinged door at each tank bottom. The system delivers multiple seed types over a wide population range. The design eliminates the need for any towed unit, allowing for excellent visibility at all times and the zero-wear parts significantly reduce maintenance costs.
