with low maintenance. Should maintenance be required, the trip
assembly can be refitted easily, safely, and economically using common hand tools.
No Other Tyne Penetrates Like Bourgault’s
The sweep tip is located just behind the tyne pivot.
If the sweep angle attack increases slightly, depth
is not significantly affected; however, penetration
capability is greatly
enhanced.
Increasing Force Spring Trip Assemblies
The design of Bourgault’s spring tyne assembly
allows our tillage units to work soil where competitors’ cultivators just ride on top of the ground.
Bourgault's tyne assembly design utilizes INCREASING
FORCE geometry. As the soil gets tougher, the tyne
and sweep may begin to tip back slightly. This
slightly increases the angle of attack of the sweeps
and greatly increases their ability to penetrate
the tough soil. The trips will never tip enough to
adversely affect seedbed quality. The C style tyne
allows the straw to roll off. Straight tynes tend to
suffer from straw wrapping.
Superior Hydraulic System
Bourgault’s tillage units feature the Master-Slave
Hydraulic System to control the operating depth.
The simple yet effective design makes this system
virtually maintenance free due to less wearing parts
as compared to single cylinder, mechanically actuated designs.

Robust Frame Design
The tillage frame construction
uses 102 mm x 102 mm wall tubing on the rows, sandwiched between
51 mm x 51 mm (8810 & 9400), or
102 mm x 76 mm (9800) front-to-back
members. This construction technique
creates a frame with unmatched strength
and durability. Bourgault’s tillage units
can handle heavy tillage operations, the
extra weight of Mid Row Banders®, and
mounted, on-row press wheels. Farmers
have reported logging more than two decades of service on their
Bourgault tillage units without producing
a single frame
crack. As a
Bourgault
owner, you
can be confident that this
Durable Solid Frame Construction
unit will go
the distance.
Handle Residue with Ease
Bourgault's designers have made residue
clearance a top priority. Each unit’s trip
layout is designed to achieve unmatched
residue clearance.
The 8810 Series Cultivators use a
five row frame design to ensure
AND

ARE GUARANTEED TO USE
Minimized Contouring Depth
Bourgault has the shortest contouring depth in the industry
Clearance is optimized around the wheels
good residue flow around the wheels, where most
other cultivators have plugging problems. The distance between adjacent tynes is a minimum of 810
mm on 203 mm (8”) spacing and 1 m on 254 mm
(10”) spacing. The minimum distance between
adjacent rows is .64 m and the frame to ground
clearance is .69 m, with sweeps.
Research has proven that the ability to follow field
contours is primarily related to frame depth and
wheel positioning. Both the 8810 and 9400 have
the shortest contouring depth in the industry.
The front castor wheels are positioned close to the
frame, and the in-frame walking axles are centred
in the frame. The result is a more even seeding
depth through the peaks and valleys.
The 9400 & 9800 Chisel Ploughs incorporate a
four row frame with layouts designed to provide
unmatched residue clearance. Distance between
rows is a minimum .81 m for the 9400 and a minimum .79 m on the 9800. On the 305 mm (12”)
spacing, units equipped with the 272 kg (600 lb)
trips and 32 mm x 51 mm tynes have .76 m of
frame to ground clearance and .64 m of obstacle
clearance.
In-frame walking axles provide a better ride over rough terrain.

50%
FEWER REPAIR PARTS PER HECTARE THAN ANY OTHER MAKE .
In-frame walking axles will reduce the effects of
rough ground by 50%, ensuring even depth during
seeding. Rear wheels carry slightly more load,
preventing the front wheels, on the walking axles,
from diving in wet spots.
Castor Wheels
The front mount castor wheels provide a critical
function to the proper operation of the floating
hitch unit. The castor wheels eliminate the “nosing in” rotation of the bar, created by the draft
loads of the soil placed on the openers. The
front castor wheels keep the tillage unit's depth
on target.

Low Maintenance
Bourgault tillage units require less maintenance! Bourgault utilizes high performance, composite bushings, pivoting on chrome pins. This
has allowed Bourgault to minimize greasing locations and stretch greasing intervals.
Adjust screw jacks for uniform depth
from front to back of the frame.
High Quality parts require less maintenance time and cost.
Quick and Easy Levelling
On all three models, side-to-side depth adjustment
is done by adjusting the screws on top of each
depth control cylinder with the spanners that are
provided.
For the 8810 and 9400 floating hitch units, frontto-back adjustment is performed by adjusting the
Strong & accessible castor legs.
Leg style castor wheels are used, rather than
fork type. This feature greatly lessens the effort
required in changing a tyre. Leg type castors
will not build up with mud and field residue as
is often experienced with fork type castors. This
plugging action acts like a brake, causing premature tyre wear.

Dependable Running Gear
Bourgault’s tillage units are equipped with
2720 kg (6000 lb) wheel hubs. A triple lip
seal system that includes a steel wear sleeve
pressed into the hub, (rather than onto the
spindle) makes the seal immune to damage
from twine, wire and vines. Triple lip seals
allow fresh grease to be pumped into the hub
without worrying about the seal popping out.
This feature allows for greater bearing life
and reduces the need for regular re-packing
of wheel bearings.

The Titan Quick Detach on-row press wheels and mounted
harrows have been designed to allow you to tailor your
machine to fit varying conditions, from conventional, to direct
seeding, to tillage. Attach the mounted press wheels to your
Bourgault cultivator, or chisel plough; mount narrow openers and
you have an effective direct seeding unit. The same arm can also be
used to attach 4-bar harrows.
and you can seed as a conventional air seeding system as well as do your tillage operations and chemical incorporation. You control your machine for the
varying soil and moisture conditions you face from year to year.
These options provide an economical solution for farmers who require the
ability to easily switch over to any of the following operations:
•

Switching from mounted press wheels to harrows? No Problem! The patented Titan Quick
Detach arm design uses two springs of different stiffness to provide the correct down force
regardless of the device on the mounting arm.
With the harrows in place, the lighter spring
allows for a reduced down-force to avoid straw
bunching. When packing force is required, the
heavier spring takes over.

Mounted Press Wheel System
The Bourgault Gang Style Mounted Press Wheel
System is available in a 508 mm (20”) poly-wheel
style. These systems will provide packing pressures from 7 kg (15 lbs) to 23 kg (50 lbs) per
wheel on 203 mm (8”) spacing and 7 kg (15 lbs) to
27 kg (60lbs) per wheel on 254 mm (10”) spacing.
This system uses heavy duty pillow block bearings
mounted on a rugged hollow structural steel frame.
This rugged press wheel system is designed to
clear any obstacle without damage.

Heavy Duty Mounted Tyne
Harrows
The 3-Bar Mounted Heavy Harrows
are the answer for heavy residue and
rough field conditions. Tines are 13 x
508 mm on 203 mm centres (½” x 20”
on 8” centres). Section widths are 1.63 m
(64”) & 2.03 m (80”) wide.
Independent Mounted Press Wheel System
With this system, each wheel provides an equal
amount of pressure on every row; 7 kg (15 lbs) to
23 kg (50 lbs) per wheel on 203 mm (8”) spacing
and 7 kg (15 lbs) to 27 kg (60lbs) per wheel on
254 mm (10”) spacing. This may prove to be quite
important in conditions where packing uniformity
is adversely affected by windrowing.
Windrowing, a characteristic of all tyne machines,
is more noticeable at higher field speeds because
openers located in the rearward rows have a tendency to throw soil sideways over the front seeded
rows. This results in more soil being deposited
over the front seeded rows by the rearward openers.
The Bourgault Independent Mounted Press Wheel
System compensates for this by allowing each
wheel to pack its seed row separately. With this,
you have 102 mm (4”) of independent movement
on each wheel, plus each press wheel gang has
approximately 230 mm (9") of vertical movement
to clear larger obstacles. Economical, double contact, sealed ball bearings are used in each wheel.
These are permanently sealed to never require
greasing.

The same Titan Quick-Detach arms used for
the regular 4-bar mounted harrows and mounted press wheels are used for the mounted
heavy harrows.
Mounted Tyne Harrow System
The Bourgault 4-bar Tyne Harrows are mounted
on quick attach brackets and come in 1.5 m & 2
m (5 ft. & 6½ ft.) sections (for use with poly press
wheels) and 1.2 m (4 ft.) sections (for use with the
heavy duty press wheels) and utilize 9.5 mm x 406
mm (3/8” x 16”) tynes which provide an excellent
field finish.

Make Your 8810 a Culti-Drill
10
The 8810 Culti-Drill is a special configuration of the Bourgault floating hitch cultivator
designed to provide you the most versatile
seeding tool possible. With the Culti-Drill,
you can have a unit that will operate as a stateof-the-art low disturbance one-pass seeding
system. If tillage is required, you can quickly
convert the unit into a conventional seeding
system or straight tillage implement.
Adjustable Mounted Press Wheel System
The Bourgault
mounted press
wheel system uses
a heavy-duty steel
press wheel with a
semi-pneumatic rubber cap. Available
are 51 mm (2”), 76
mm (3”) & 102 mm
(4”) wide semi-pneu-
matic rubber style wheels. Press wheel gangs have
only 4 or 5 wheels each, which provides good
land following characteristics. The packing force
is adjustable from 14 kg (30 lbs) to 40 kg (90 lbs)
per wheel on 254 mm (10”) spacing. This ability
to vary the packing pressure allows producers to
adjust to a wide variety of seeding conditions.
For straw management, exchange the mounted
press wheel gangs
for optional mounted
harrow sections. The
harrow sections can
be adjusted for tyne
angle and down pressure, depending on
your soil and straw
conditions.
Match the Opener to the Application
For a low disturbance seeding operation, equip the
8810 Culti-Drill with narrow 14mm (½") knife
openers. For conventional seeding or straight tillage, mount a wider sweep opener to provide good
soil aeration and weed kill.

Mid Row Banders® & One Pass Seeding
MRBs® are highly recommended for applying dry,
liquid, or NH3 while seeding. Nitrogen placed too
close to the seed causes seed burn, which leads to
emergence delays, seedling population reductions,
maturity delays and ultimately significant yield
loss. MRBs® give you the flexibility to place the
bulk of the fertilizer between the seed rows. You
now have the ability to sow in one pass, eliminating
the need to band fertilizer ahead of the seeding unit.
Unmatched Productivity & Versatility
If you need an implement that can perform many
jobs, the 8810 Culti-Drill delivers a wide range of
press wheel settings, optional exchangeable harrow
sections, a variety of openers, and separate fertilizer application. With this kind of versatility, only
the 8810 can be configured as a true Culti-Drill.

Metering Plus System
PDM Plus Metering System (with cutaway)
14
The heart of the 6000AU Series air seeder is the
Bourgault PDM Plus metering system. The special polyethylene metering auger is designed for
long life and low maintenance. A key feature for
highly accurate metering is the steel orifice, precisely matched to the metering auger’s diameter.
This highly versatile metering system is gentle
on peas and lupins, yet accurately meters fine
seeds like treated canola. The PDM Plus also
features a large flow-through sump for easy
and complete tank clean out and metering
auger inspection. The polyethylene auger
provides consistent seeding rates, even with
problematic products such as treated seed
and certain fertilizers. (Patent Pending)
Each metering auger housing is coated
to allow trouble free operation, even
with problematic fertilizers.
Variable Rate Product Metering System
The heavy-duty design
ensures that the transmission will provide
trouble free operation.
Each transmission is protected by a auto-resetting
torque limiting clutch.
With the manually
adjustable transmission,
the output rate is set
by turning the crank at
Transmission & Actuator
the top of the transmission housing. When equipped with the optional
Cab Rate Adjust or the ZYNX Monitor/Controller
System, electric actuators located on each transmission allow on-the-go product rate adjustment
from the tractor cab. After the air seeder is calibrated, the rate can be conveniently monitored and
controlled by either the operator or in the case of
the ZYNX Controller, by the system itself. In the
unlikely event of electrical problems, the transmissions can be quickly converted back to manual
adjustment to ensure no downtime.
Auto-Resetting
Torque Limiting
Clutch
An Auto-Resetting
Torque Limiting
Clutch is located

excessive, and reset itself when the problem has
been corrected. This protects the transmission
and metering augers from damage due to foreign
objects jamming the metering system.
Transmission Drive
This drive system provides a

sion. The shaft
drive system will
provide trouble free operation and virtually zero
maintenance requirements.

from each meter. With the Power Calibration, it is
very easy for an operator to obtain a larger, more
accurate product sample.
Class A Straight-Thru Primary Line Design
The Straight-Thru primary line design makes it
very easy to direct the contents of any tank into
any air stream.
This allows the
operator to set
up his seeding
operation in the
single, double, or
multishoot mode.
Clean Product Line Configuration
Tank cleanout is
easy and simple, with an unobstructed drop into
the loading/unloading auger hopper.
Three Flexible Internal Tanks
The three compartment internal port tank design
allows
these units
to operate
with two or
three metering augers.
Three Compartment Tank
Product can
be diverted from the centre compartment to the
front, rear, or both compartments. Logical tank
capacities allow you to configure the tank for efficient use of space, whether you are seeding small
seed or large seed products.
Tyre Options that Work for You
No matter what type of soil you farm in, Bourgault
offers a tyre designed to match your soil type.
Complete Tyre Options
Large singles or dual tyre options minimize compaction while transporting a large quantity of product. Correct tyre loading is not only important for

Deluxe 491 Air Seeder Monitor
The Deluxe 491 Air
Seeder Monitor is a complete monitoring system
that is designed to provide
you quick and accurate
feedback on a wide range
of standard and optional
air seeder features. The
491 monitor is economical
for smaller systems, yet is
capable of working with
larger tanks with more
involved configurations.
Model 491 Monitor
The 491 is capable of monitoring:
• up to two radial fans
• up to four product applications (shaft speed & rate)
• up to four bin volumes (four levels each bin)
• ground speed
• case drain pressure
• field and total area (each metering auger)
Buttons are sealed to protect the monitor from
dust, and back-lit for night-time operation. A clear
beep is emitted to signify when seeding operation
begins, ends, or when any problem occurs.
The Deluxe 491 features a large, well lit display
that can be set to display one, three, or four values
at one time. You can
configure the display
to show your choice of
theoretical seeding rates,
metering auger shaft rpm,
fan rpm, product volume

revolution, accumulated
field area, or accumulated total area.
The Deluxe 491 proScreen Display - Values
vides a menu of icons
on the screen to give you constant feed-back on
the status of critical operations. As your bin volume drops, the icon displays the change on the
corresponding icon. On the event that a problem
in any of the areas being monitored, an error message will pop up on the screen with an audible
beep. Depending on the severity of the problem,
you are allowed to
acknowledge the problem and continue seeding. The correspondScreen Display - Icons
ing icon will continue
to flash until the problem has been corrected.
Possible problems that are monitored by the 491
include hydraulic case drain disconnect, low/empty
bin, high/low fan speed alarms, slow/stopped
metering augers, and disengaged drive clutch.
The Deluxe 491 monitor is also used for product rate calibration. Clear concise instructions,
along with the handy hydraulic calibration system,
enables you to set your rates accurately without
hassle. Cab and tank mounted auxiliary clutch
switches allow you to control each tank individually during calibration.
Optional Cab Rate Adjust
Some producers need the ability to make on-the-go
rate changes. This convenient feature is possible
with the Cab Rate Adjust (CRA)
option. The application rates are first set
during the calibration
operation. (A second
control panel is located
on the tank for convenAuxiliary Clutch Switch
ient rate changes during calibration.) The application rate can
then be adjusted for each metering auger
at the push of a button, on-the-go, from the
tractor cab. An electric actuator mounted on
each transmission remotely adjusts the rate
setting when activated by the operator. Changes in the
rate can be viewed on
the 491 monitor by
switching to the theoCab Rate Adjust Control
retical rate display.

Four-Level Bin Sensors
Four optical sensors in each tank are strategically positioned to report product drop and
the contents remaining in each metered tank.
The top, or just-off-full
sensor indicates early in
the seeding operation if
the tank level is dropping.
The last, or just-off-empty
sensor will indicate that
the compartment is almost
empty. All but the last
sensor can be repositioned
according to the operator’s

DESIGN, EXTENSIVE TESTING, AND A WIDE RANGE OF SIZES AND OPTIONS HAVE ESTABLISHED THE
BOURGAULT AIR DRILLS
AS THE STANDARD SEEDING TOOL OF CHOICE BY FARMERS WORLDWIDE.
The 5710 Air Hoe Drill utilizes the Bourgault trip spring on 178 mm (7”), 249 mm (9.8”), and 320
(12.6”) mm spacings. Eight different press wheel options and a variety of seed row openers allow
you to match your Bourgault Air Hoe Drill to your farming needs. The frame is constructed with
102 mm x 102 mm (4” x 4”) hollow structural tubing, sandwiched by 51 mm x 51 mm (2” x 2”)
tubing, welded top and bottom. The same legendary Bourgault tyne assembly used in the tillage line is used in the air hoe drill line.
aust_cat_2005_new2.indd 20
8/22/2005 8:58:33 AM
A Size and Row Spacing To Fit Any Farm
Bourgault Air Drills range in size from 7.5 m to
22.5 m (25’ to 74’). The 5710 Air Hoe Drill is
available in 178 mm (7”)*, 249 mm (9.8”), and
320 mm (12.6”) row spacings. (*Some models do
not offer 178mm (7”) spacings.)
Bourgault offers a wide range of air drill widths and tyne spacings.
A narrower main frame is used on the three-plex
5710-24, 5710-29, 5710-34, and the five-plex
5710-47 models to balance the width of the wings
relative to the width of the main frame. This narrower main frame also produces a narrower transport width. The five-plex 5710-54, 5710-59, and
5710-64 units will accommodate even the largest
operations. The latest member of the 5710 family is the 5710-74. This massive unit is designed
to provide unmatched productivity to very large
farming operations. The 5710-74 operates in the
field as a five-plex, but folds into transport as a
seven-plex using X-Fold Technology developed by
Bourgault. This allows the 5710-74 to fold into a
smaller transport configuration than the 5710-64!
The 5710-74 is available at 70' and 74', in 249 mm
(9.8”), and 320 mm (12.6”) row spacings.
Excellent Contour Following Capability
The Bourgault Air Drill will hug the topography of
any field. With the press wheels mounted closely
behind the rear tynes and the front castor wheels
positioned within the first row of the frame, the
Bourgault Air Drill delivers a very shallow con-

pivot from side to side, allowing entire sections
to walk over rocks or any obstacles with ease.
Walking press wheel beams distribute packing
pressures to ensure good seed-to-soil contact.
Compatible with a Variety of Openers
The 5710 AHD can be equipped with Bourgault
Tillage Tools quick change knives or spoon openers, to promote a low disturbance, high quality
seedbed. Other quick change openers include
spread tip knives, hoe openers, vertical openers,
and sweeps. Third party openers can also be fitted
on Bourgault tyne assemblies.
Press Wheels to Match Every Operation
Rubber Faced Press Wheels are of a semi-pneumatic design that are excellent for shedding mud.
AIR HOE DRILL
Rubber faced wheels are available in 51 mm (2”), 76 mm (3”),
and 102 mm (4”) widths.
A 140 mm (5½”), fully Pneumatic
Press wheel is utilized when a wide seed
spread is required. Stone Kickers are
standard on all Bourgault Air Drills.
These cutaways display the wide range of press
wheel styles available to accommodate any seeding practice and soil type.
Automatic Rear Transport Locks
The rear transport frames on the 5710-40 to
5710-74 models are designed with an overcentre locking system. This over-centre
mechanism automatically locks the transport
wheels in place and removes all load from
the transport cylinders.

A Drill to Match Every Soil Condition
The 5710 AHD can be equipped with a
choice of 104kg (230lb), 150kg (330lb),
or 204kg (450lb) spring trip assemblies.
(Same trip assemblies as used in the tillage units.) The increasing penetration

Seeding is a crucial operation for every farm. The increasing costs of fuel, fertilizer, and chemical have
greatly increased the negative financial consequences of seeding errors. The equipment must be able to
properly place seed and fertilizer in a variety of soil conditions. Proper emergence is the key to establishing a strong crop that will maximize yield opportunities.
THE MID ROW BANDER® DEVELOPED BY BOURGAULT HAS REVOLUTIONIZED THE FARMING INDUSTRY. A BOURGAULT SEEDING
UNIT, EQUIPPED WITH MRBS®, ENABLES A FARMER TO REDUCE FIELD PASSES, PRESERVE AVAILABLE SOIL MOISTURE, AND
CUT THROUGH MANAGED FIELD RESIDUE. BY BANDING THE FERTILIZER BETWEEN THE SEED ROWS, MRBS® CAN GUARANTEE SEED AND FERTILIZER SEPARATION, REGARDLESS OF THE FERTILIZER RATES. FERTILIZER BURN CAUSED BY NITROGEN
MIXED WITH THE SEED CAN BE ONE OF THE COSTLIEST CROP INJURIES.
THE
MID ROW BANDERS® HAS EXPLODED IN NORTH AMERICA. FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, DROUGHT
CONDITIONS IN WESTERN CANADA AND THE MID WESTERN U.S. HAVE SHOWN THAT CROPS SEEDED WITH BOURGAULT
MRBS® HAVE STRONGER EMERGENCE AND OVERALL BETTER YIELDS THAN CONVENTIONALLY SEEDED CROPS.

MRB®
More Grain with Less
Fertilizer
Since the first MRBs® went
into service nine years ago, they
have consistently helped farmers produce more grain, with less
nitrogen. When compared to seed
placed nitrogen, more bushels of grain
are produced, with the same amount of
nitrogen and the crops generally mature
sooner. This can be explained in three
parts:
• Seed is not subjected to the toxicity of inrow nitrogen. The seed can emerge faster
and more vigorously than plants damaged by
fertilizer burn. The result is a stronger, better yielding stand.
• Access to nitrogen is delayed until the plant
is established. This tends to create a stand
that produces less straw and more grain.
24
Protein levels in wheat also tend to be 1½ to 2
points higher with crops seeded with MRBs®.
• Plants roots develop right to the centre of the
fertilizer row. The plant will access not only the
nitrogen, but also all of the available nutrients
and moisture in a greater area.
Minimize Soil Disturbance
Many double shoot openers and other higher disturbance openers extensively fracture the soil. The
churning action of the soil mixes the seed and
fertilizer within the furrow. Poor placement will
result in uneven germination. With the MRB®
system, a narrow, low disturbance seed opener can
be used. Less disturbance will result in better seed
depth control. Germinating seeds will access the
nitrogen placed in the mid-row band, resulting in a
strong and even catch in the field.
Versatile
The MRBs® perform well in all moisture and
soil conditions. In hard pan or moist ground, the
MRB® coulter can cut open the soil and place
product at a consistent depth. Field residue can
be easily managed, as the coulters cut through the
straw. The tripping action allows the coulters to
ride over the rocks, yet penetrate even the hardest
soils. By comparison, double shoot openers tend
to work well only in specific soil conditions.
Series 20 Mid Row Banders®
The test plot on the left was seeded by an MRB® system,
whereas the plot on the right was seeded with a double shoot
boot. The MRB® plot has an excellent field finish with no
open fractures or large lumps. Quite typical of double shoot
boots, the plot on the right is rough. The difference in germination is also noticeable.
The Bourgault Series 20 MRB® is designed
for years of work in all seeding conditions. An
457mm (18”) coulter disc set at a 5° angle cuts
open a furrow in the soil. The inside floating
scraper ensures the soil remains out of the fur-
row & cleans the inside of the coulter. Scrapers
are available in standard or carbide options. The
MRB® is capable of 25mm (1") increments for
height adjustment. The tension spring gives the
MRB® 170 kg (375lbs) of force for penetrating
field residue and soil, yet allow the coulters to roll
over rocks.
Series 25 Mid Row Banders®
A new quick height adjust system allows the
operator to quickly move the depth of the MRBs®.
Height adjustments are made by turning the plated
acme threaded rod from the top of the upright. The
coulter assembly moves up or down on two chrome
shafts. Height can be easily gauged on the indicator
bar. A larger 508mm (20”) coulter disc set at a 5°
angle cuts field residue better and extends coulter
life. A new user friendly slide adjust scraper/boot
system allows for more adjustment as the
disc wears. A heavy duty arm with a
102mm (4”) wide pivot with a greaseless composite bushing, protected with
urethane seals and plastic thrust washers
pivots on a chrome pin. Initial trip
force is set at 204 kg (400 lbs).
Fiberglide® bushings in the
cast height adjustment mount
provide a solid low friction
fit on the chrome shafts.
