2024 Bourgault Air Planter™ Base

2024 Bourgault Air Planter™

The innovative Air Planter™ (AP™) is not a machine per se, but is an integrated option that provides the ability to seed or plant in a one-pass operation! Operating a Bourgault Seeding System equipped with the Air Planter™ allows you to direct seed or plant into heavy residue in no-till scenarios, while seed placing phosphate fertilizer and banding nutrients like nitrogen and sulfur mid row. Why buy a planter and a small grains drill when the Air Planter™ can effectively accomplish both!

Gain More Benefits & Reduce Your Costs

A growing number of Producers are exploring the advantages of incorporating both planting and seeding practices in their operation.

With the Bourgault Air Planter™, you can invest in the first practical farm implement that will operate effectively as both a seeder and a planter.

• The XP DUO™ Meters (eXact Placement™ Meters) use positive air pressure to hold the seed onto the planter plate. The same positive pressure delivers the seed evenly to the opener, thus gravity and hilly fields are not an issue for the accuracy of the Air Planter™.

• The electric meter drives are controlled independently through the Topcon Apollo System to provide turn compensation and eliminate overlap at the headlands.

• Sensors respond to each seed that leaves the meter, giving you complete visibility of Air Planter™ performance.

• This unique dual meter can deliver singulated seed to two narrow-row units or a single wide-row unit!

• The Air Planter™ has a Bulk Fill System that transfers seed from the air cart to the XP DUO™ Meters located on the frame of the drill.

• Other than an extra fan, the Bulk Fill System uses no moving parts allowing for gentle seed transfer to the XP DUO Meters.
