Seed Hawk Inc. develops the world’s largest air drill
Langbank, SK— At 84
feet wide, the new Seed Hawk tool bar, in conjunction with the Seed
Hawk 800 bushel air cart, is the largest seeding system in the world.
The 84-foot tool bar is designed for large acreage farmers who are
looking to maximize their seeding efficiencies, without compromising
the accuracy of seed and fertilizer placement. Travelling at 5 miles
per hour, a farmer can seed 50 acres an hour with the 84-foot toolbar,
making it possible to comfortably seed 400 acres in a single day.
“Over
the years, we’ve seen an increased demand for larger seeding
equipment,but farmers didn’t want to compromise the emergence of the
crop. This new tool bar incorporates all of the innovative design
features found on our other equipment to ensure that they don’t
sacrifice seeding accuracy,” says Brian Dean, Vice-President and
Product Development Manager with Seed Hawk at Langbank, Saskatchewan,
Canada.
The
84-foot tool bar places seed and fertilizer precisely with individual
depth control on every seed and fertilizer opener. The 84-foot tool bar
includes Seed Hawk’s wide, strong frame design that spreads the load
across the width of the frame. Farmers can choose from 10 inch or 12
inch row spacings, and the standard single side band or Twin Wing seed
knives. The 84-foot tool bar comes with Seed Hawk’s industry-leading
five-year frame warranty.
