1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The Seed Hawk
aircart is a single axle cart which is available as a tow between or a tow
behind except the 800 aircart which is only available in the tow behind configuration. The 400
aircart is 400 bushels, with two compartments in a 60/40 split. The 500, 600 and 800 bushel
aircarts have three compartments and a standard two fan configuration. The meters are
designed to utilize each compartment for high efficiency by being able to divert the product
into either the seed or fertilizer air stream. Multiple rollers are available for each meter which
gives the meter the capability of accurately dispensing every type of product, from low
amounts of canola to high rates of fertilizer. A Vaderstad infinitely adjustable gearbox is
standard on every meter, but there is the option to upgrade to a hydraulic drive system
controlled by a Raven Viper touchscreen computer.
