Flexi-Coil is a leader
• from pege12
in North America, heard
the demands and began
creating their own ver-
sions.
"There's been varia-
tions around since the
early 80s but it's taken off
in the last three to five
years," said Lobb. "Flexi-
Coil is a leader in the
industry."
Flexi-Coil's air seeder
has among its features
three tank sizes that can be
filled with different kinds
of seed or fertilizer; a
loading/unloading auger;
air flow control and three
16.5 Titre all-weather tires.
Lobb said the balloon -like
tires don't compact the
ground as smaller conven-
tional seed drill tires do. It
has "the ability to fit row
spacing from 22 to 40
inches.
The air seeder can be
used for all types of seed -
large and small from corn
to canola. Farmers may
also put untreated seed in
a tank and add liquid treat-
ment just prior to planting
to cut down on wasted
seed. 11 replaces the corn
planter. grain drill and fer-
tilizer spreader.
"Farmers are looking at
an investment and where
best to put their money ha-
the
rthe greatest payback." said
Lobb. "One of the biggest
paybacks is putting fertil-
izer with the seed, allow-
ing lower fertilizer rates,
boosting yields and elimi-
nating extra trips over the
field with a custom appli-
cator."
With these combina-
tions, farmers can apply
specific fertilizers to spe-
cific areas of the. field.
"It has multi -season
use," he said, adding the
machine can be used to
apply fertilizer spring,
summer and fall.
Lobb said the air seeder
has become so popular in
the West that conventional
disc planters are now
described as "snow fence"
because they're not being
used.
