FLEXI-COIL AIR HOE DRILLS

 

Available in 18.3, 21.3 and 24.3 m widths, the Flexi-Coil 5500 air hoe drill features a patented two-piece wing, with simple, parallel-circuit hydraulics. This design minimises stress on the framework while ensuring depth accuracy. “Split-row” tyne pattern configurations in spacings of 228 mm or 305 mm (10 or 12 inches) give you a smooth field finish with conventional C-shanks using the same proven trip design.

REVOLUTIONARY FOLDING SEQUENCE

The two-piece wing design allows the 5500 to achieve a reduced profile for easy transport. The unit folds down to just 5.4 metres wide, making it just 200 mm wider on each side than many tractors. Transport height is just 4.1 metres. Transport is safer, faster and less stressful.

WALKING PNEUMATIC TYRE

The Flexi-Coil 5500 is offered with gang-style press wheels in semi-pneumatic, steel or walking beam pneumatic. The walking pneumatic tyre is available only on this model.

VARIABLE PACKING PRESSURE

A patented variable packing pressure system allows operators to adjust packing pressure from field-to-field. Pressure of the pack wheels can be adjusted to reduce the pressure by as much as 30 per cent.

FLEXIBLE FRAME

Flexibility dissipates frame stress for more durability than traditional welded joints. Where the frame flexes, durable self-lubricating joints with chrome pins and polyurethane pads add lasting performance. Exceptional land-following flexibility provides precise seed placement. Each wing on the 5500 is attached to a collective rockshaft with simple, parallel circuit hydraulics, allowing each wing/press wheel combination to follow the ground. This minimises stresses in the framework and ensures precise seed placement. The 5500 achieves exact and repeatable sowing depth thanks to a unique configuration. Two front ranks follow the contours of the land at a depth set by the nearby caster assemblies while two rear ranks follow the ground on which the press wheels run. Single-point depth setting provides simple control of the depth across the entire machine.
