Description of Unit
The 2250 Air Drill is a grain drill using air to move seed
from the metering device under the grain bins to the open-
er units on the implement. The air is supplied by a hydrau-
lic motor driven fan. The seed is held in a pressurized bin
and is metered into the air stream in a pressurized meter.
The metering device is driven at a rate proportional to dis-
tance traveled and the rate can be set using the gearbox
and other means.
Features include:
•
Ladders to walkboard on both sides for easy access
•
Electric clutch drive with adjustable height control switch
