For 2016, Bourgault redefines BIG with the 71300 air seeder. This new flagship product exhibits 35% greater size than the 7950 with a base capacity of 1300 bushels and a 1340 bushel maximum capacity when equipped with the optional Saddle Tank!
Size, coupled with the Bourgault ingenuity of the 7000 series, ensure that the 71300 is not only big, but also advanced. With the Bourgault KNEX™ Integral Tank Design, Class A distribution system, PDM Pro™ exact metering, Auto Section Control, as well as all other options you can be assured that you are maximizing productivity while minimizing your input requirements.
The capacity of the Model 71300 is most impressive, with four main tanks totalling 1300 bushels (45,810 litres) and full inter-tank flexibility that Bourgault air seeders are renowned for.
The optional 40 Bu Saddle Tank & Pallet Storage Platform mounted on the left side of the 71300 is designed for the seeding and storage of bagged product and raises the total tank capacity to 1340 bushels (47,220 litres)!
The Bourgault Auto Section Control (ASC) system is designed to work with the Topcon X30 Apollo System* to sense when a drill is about to overlap a seeded section of the field.
The 71300 is equipped with IF710/70 R42 duals on the front axle and IF850/75 R42 dual on the rear, each set to a low 15 psi (103 kPa) inflation pressure, even when operating fully loaded. Compaction is minimal and farmers can continue to fill the compartments even in wetter seeding conditions. The 71300 is also equipped with surge brakes to help ensure safe transportation (wheeled option only)
