BOURGAULT AUSTRALIA
Bourgault products are now going through a
gratifying phase of their evolution in Australia.
The products sold over the last seven years
have performed well and have met and surpassed customer expectations. We're now
seeing some of those early Bourgault 8800
bars and 3000/4000 seeders being traded for
new 8810 bars and 5000 seeders. In most
cases, our dealers have sold their
Bourgault trades to neighboring properties
or acquaintances of the original owners. It
is our mission and focus to ensure our
customers receive the best support
possible from Bourgault and it dealers.
STEVE ALLEN
ASSISTANT OPERATIONS MANAGER
BOURGAULT AUSTRALIA
Australian farmers are embracing sustainable and minimum till practices on a broad
scale, in one of the most difficult farming
environments in the world. In doing so,
they are enhancing their ability to minimize
erosion, maximize moisture conservation,
and re-build their soil structure in the
process. The end result is higher profitability for the farmer, with a stronger, more productive land base. The best equipment
available to achieve this is Bourgault’s. I am
committed to helping provide the best possible equipment and service for Australian
farmers through our dealer network.

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.

TILLAGE
Resilient Tyne Assembly Pivot
Bourgault tyne assemblies feature a single,
greaseless pivot point equipped with an
extremely durable Nylatron G.S.® bushing and a grade 8 bolt. The simple and
durable design provides years of service
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
Precise Depth Control
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.
A precision line lock valve complements the
exactness of the single master, series
hydraulic depth control system.
Bourgault's exclusively patented valve
prevents oil transfer
between the tractor
Patented Line Lock Valve
and cultivator and
keeps hydraulic line pressure low when lowering the unit into the ground. The valve ensures
the tillage unit will maintain an even depth across
the entire width without creeping or rebounding when not working using the depth stop.

1968.
The patented Quick Shift Depth Control
makes setting the
bar’s working depth
easy and effective.
Simply loosen the
lock handle and adjust
the slide to the appropriate depth using the
numbered scale.
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
packers. Farmers
have reported logging more than two Durable Solid Frame Construction
decades of service on their Bourgault tillage
units without producing a single frame crack.
As a Bourgault owner, you can be confident
that this unit will go the distance.
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 227 kg (500 lb) trips and 25 mm x 51
mm tynes have .76 m of frame to ground
clearance and .64 m of obstacle clearance.

ance.
The 8810 Series Cultivators use a five row
frame design to ensure 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.
In-frame walking axles provide a better ride over debris.
The 8810 sports the shortest contouring depth in the industry.
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.
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.
The front castor
wheels provide

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
units depth on target.
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.

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.
Quick and Easy Levelling
Dependable Running Gear
For the 8810 and 9400 floating hitch units,
front to back adjustment is performed by
adjusting the screw jack that connects the inframe running gear to the castor wheel. On all
three models, side
to side depth
adjustment is
done by adjusting
the screws on top
of each depth control cylinder.
(Wrenches are
provided.)
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 you worrying about the seal popping
out. This feature allows for greater bearing
life and reduces the need for regular re-packing of wheel bearings.
Level your Bourgault tillage unit in minutes!
High Quality parts require less maintenance time and cost.

1. The optional 4 Row Tyne Harrows provide good straw spreading and a uniform field finish.
2. On-Row Gang Style or Independent Style Mounted Packers will provide on-row packing
when seeding with narrow openers. The adjustable packing pressure will ensure good
seed-to-soil contact, aiding germination.
3. The Titan Quick-Detach Arm enables you to change from harrows to packers by removing
one pin. The Titan Arm also allows you to adjust the down force on the harrows or packers.
4. Add Mid Row Banders® to the 8810 to safely band fertilizer between the 203 mm (8”) or
254 mm (10”) spaced seed rows.
5. Bourgault's Spring Action Mud Scrapers clean mud off the tyres and provide for a constant working depth when operating in wet conditions.
6. Install Side Draft Eliminators to prevent skewing when tilling on side slopes. (Not
required when Mid Row Banders® are installed.)
7. The Bourgault Trailing Hitch is available for towing a fertilizer cart, prickle chain, or wing
type packer system.
8. Equip with a Single Shoot or Double Shoot Air Kit, as required, to meet seeding and fertilizing needs. Optional large seed packages are also available for beans and other
large seed crops.
9. Install a Granular Applicator Kit (Dual Shoot) to broadcast herbicide or urea fertilizer.
10. Select from 6 mm (¼”), 10 mm (3/8”), and 13 mm (½”) thick shims to adjust depth on
individual tynes.
11. Most tillage units are designed to accommodate 3rd party disc markers, to reduce overlap.

AIR DRILLS
5710 AIR HOE DRILL
Farmers appreciate the thoughtful and effective design
approach Bourgault places in each product line.
Bourgault’s Air Drills are no exception, having the
fewest moving parts, yet being the most productive
drill on the market. The frame and hydraulic system
are designed to accept Mid Row Banders® and field
markers. Superior design, extensive testing, and a
wide range of sizes and options have established
the Bourgault Air Drills as a standard seeding tool
in Western Canada.
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 packer 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 hollow structural tubing, sandwiched by 51 mm x
51 mm tubing, welded top and bottom. The same legendary Bourgault
tyne assembly used in the tillage line
is used in the air hoe drill line.
A Size and Row Spacing To Fit Any Farm
Bourgault Air Drills range in size from 7.5 m
to 19.2 m. The 5710 Air Hoe Drill is available in 178 mm (7”), 249 mm (9.8”), and 320
mm (12.6”) row spacings.
Bourgault offers a wide range of air drill widths and tyne spacings.
A narrower main frame is used on the threeplex 5710-24, 5710-29, 5710-34, and the fiveplex 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 fiveplex 5710-50, 5710-59, and 5710-60 units will
accommodate even the largest operations.

Bourgault entered the air seeder market in 1980 with the Model 138. This versatile and sturdy air seeder gained a reputation as an extremely durable and reliable unit. Over the years, Bourgault air seeders
have evolved to the current fifth generation, 5000 Series. A wide range of sizes and configurations
available in the 5000 Series line can provide a tank that will suit your farming operation.
STANDARD LINE - MODELS 5200, 5250, 5300, & 5350
The all steel, patented, three tank systems ranges in size from 8800 litres to 12,300 litres. The tanks feature a 40% (front), 20% (centre), and 40% (rear) split in compartment sizes. The centre tank can be diverted to either the front or rear, creating a 60% - 40% split. The Model 5200 (7000 litres), two tank air seeder, has a 40% (front) - 60% (rear) configuration. Leading or tow-behind configurations are available.
Model 138 Diesel - 1982
AUSTRALIAN LINE - 5195, 5245, 5295, & 5345
Bourgault offers a line of tanks configured to match practices specific to the Australian farmer.
Although sized the same as the Standard Line, these tanks feature a 33% (front), 33% (centre),
and 33% (rear) compartment split. The centre tank can be diverted either to the front or rear
for a 67% - 33% split. The Model 5195 (7000 litres), three tank air seeder, has a 37% (front),
26% (centre), and 37% (rear) configuration. The centre tank can be diverted to the front
or rear for a 63% - 37% tank split. Available in leading or tow-behind configurations.
MODEL 5440 AIR SEEDER
Designed for big operations that need to maximize productivity. The massive 15,500 litre tank features a 33% (front), 17% (centre), and 50% (rear) tank
split. The centre tank can be diverted to either the front or rear, creating a
67% - 33% or 50% - 50% tank split. The large 7750 litre rear tank has two fill
ports to ensure complete filling.

PDM Plus Metering System (with cutaway)
The 5000 Series feature the PDM Plus,
Positive Displacement Metering system. A
precise, finely pitched auger pulls seed from a
large, flow-through sump and pushes it
through a metering orifice. The pitch of the
auger then abruptly increases as the seed is
carried to the product transfer line. This system is highly accurate, even with fine seeds.
The sump can be opened for complete tank
clean-out and metering auger inspection.

tool on many farms in Western Canada.
Competitive units of this age have long since
been put out to pasture.
Because Bourgault air seeders are so durable,
Bourgault continues to develop a large variety
of retrofit kit options to keep older units
updated with developing technology.
This commitment to durability is still paramount in the air seeders we build today.
Extensive finite element analysis performed on
computer models helps designers determine
the optimum configuration prior to construction. A prototype is then built and rigorously
endurance tested on a severe bounce track to
verify the design.
All 5000 Series feature a welded tank which is
joined to a strong hollow structural steel frame,
using continuous rather than stitch welds.
Plastic tanks have experienced problems such
as seam splitting and joint splitting due to thermal expansion. Deterioration caused by exposure to ultraviolet light leads to the tanks
becoming brittle. Some also suffer from product clinging to the sides due to static build up.
E-Zee Air Seeder Hitch
The optional E-Zee air seeder hitch takes the
hassle out of backing your seeding unit to the air
tank. The E-Zee hitch telescopes and swivels
within a 300 mm (12”) range of the towing
hitch for fast and easy air seeder attachment.
The E-Zee hitch will swivel to
meet the towing hitch.
Finish backing up and lock the hitch
before towing the unit forwards.
Bourgault is committed to meet future opportunities and challenges as an independent, family-owned company. You can count on the Bourgault name for years to come.
Working Lights
The working lights option includes lights
around the metering transmissions, the sides of
the tank, the load/unload auger head, cat walk,
and on the rear of the air seeder. These lights
give excellent illumination around the seeding

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 separa-
tion, regardless of the fertilizer rates.
Fertilizer burn caused by nitrogen
mixed with the seed can be one of
the costliest crop injuries.
The use of 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.
Eliminate Fertilizer Burn
Mid Row Banders® are
mounted at the front of
the seeding unit,
between every other
set of seed runs.
Farmers can safely
place the required
amount of nitrogen,
mid-row, to assure that Guaranteed Fertilizer Separation
the fertilizer is separated from the delicate seeds.
Feed the Seed, Not the Weeds
Testing has proven that plants in the seed runs
will germinate better
and sooner than weed
seeds outside of the
seed runs. This is due
to the packers wheels
firming the soil over
the seed rows, establishing good soil to

crop seeds will germinate first, and utilize the nitrogen before
weeds outside the rows can. Your crop will
have a head start over the weeds.
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 distur-
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.
bance 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.
More Grain with Less Fertilizer
Since the first MRBs® went into service eight
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.
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.
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.

Nozzle Bodies allow the option of multiple nozzle bodies and orifices per
run. Each nozzle has a separate orifice and can be switched on or off to
obtain different application rate ranges without
having to change orifices. Metering orifices are
available in various sizes. Typical rates
achievable with the available orifices are 45
to 750 lph for a unit with 305 mm (12”)
spacing, travelling at 8 kph. The liquid distribution kit works well with knives or
MRBs®.

The 7200 Heavy Harrow offers the ability to
make all operational adjustments on-the-fly.
Tyne angle, down force and harrow section
angle are all hydraulically controlled from the
cab, allowing you to adjust as the straw conditions vary. This makes the operator of the
7200 much more effective at getting the job
done properly, especially when conditions are
less than ideal. Five rows of 14 mm x 660
mm (9/16 x 26”) straight tines on 510 mm
(20”) centres are adjustable between 45° and
80°. Optional 16 mm x 660 mm (5/8” x 26”)
tines are also available. A Double Acting
Cable design delivers both the user-friendly
operation of a cable boom draw and the positive boom control of a solid boom draw.
The 7200 is available in 14.6 m, 18.3 m, 21.9 m, & 25.6 m widths.
5720 Air Coulter Drill
In locations where soil moisture is a scarcity,
these machines apply fertilizer with very little
moisture loss. The coulter’s slicing action can
apply fertilizer in the root zone of hay or crop
land without damaging the plants. Banding
has proven to be a more effective method of
applying fertilizer when compared to surface
spreading.
4000 & 4200 Series Wing Type Packers
The 5720 Air Coulter Drill (ACD) provides
the ultimate low disturbance seeding tool!
Using Mid Row Bander® technology, the 5720
ACD places seed in a furrow cut by a fixed
height coulter disc. Very little soil is disturbed, preserving moisture and organic matter
while reducing the soil’s susceptibility to
water and wind erosion. Units are available
on 178 mm (7”) or 249 mm (9.8”) spacings
with a choice of four different on row packer
wheel styles.
The 4000 & 4200 Series Wing Type Packers
give you one pass seeding capability when
seeding with sweeps. Soil moisture evaporates quickly if the soil is not packed immediately after tilling.
The 4000 & 4200 models feature a rugged
construction with unequalled obstacle clearance. The packers have a maximum width of
1½ metres to couple durability with precise
land following. The trouble-free, greaseless
packer pivots are equipped with Nylatron®
G.S. bushings.
