Flexi-Coil Air Carts

With farm sizes increasing and seasonal labour hard to source, growers need highly productive and efficient seeders that are easy to operate. The new Flexi-Coil 5850 delivers.

The three-tank, 20,439 litre capacity 5850 is built to maximise efficiency while taking ease of use to a whole new level.

A remote controlled auger enables operators to quickly and easily position the auger from the top of the tank or from ground level, eliminating the need to manually move the auger into place so the job is quicker and simpler. The auger diameter is 25.4 cm (10 inches), which again speeds up filling.

The 5850’s down draft metering system and air velocity sensors make setting air speed simple, ensuring accurate product metering for multiple products which may differ in

size and density and require different air flow for different rates. Accuracy is maintained by an agitator bar that ensures a smooth product flow to the meter roller.

Application rates can be set from the tractor cab with the FlexControl IV+ display with variable rate control functionality, further adding to the ease of use. With a GPS input, as applied rates can be logged for record keeping.

The 5850 is a large quad wheeled cart with steerable front axle, on equal sized tyres for improved flotation and reduced ground pressure and comes equipped with a full staircase and a large working platform.

The 5850 is a tow-behind cart with variable drive configuration and a steerable front axle designed for use with Flexi-Coil PD 5700 precision hoe drill or the 5500 air drill.

New air cart biggest in the range

Efficiency and accuracy for profitability When you’re in agriculture, timing is just about everything.

Getting your seed in the ground at the right time is directly

linked to your bottom line – but so is getting it in accurately.

Flexi-Coil’s product line has been designed to help you

achieve accurate seed metering with ease, so you can

get the job done in the most efficient way.

There are two series of air carts in the Flexi-Coil line up –

the 40 Series and 50 Series – ranging from just over 8,000

litres all the way up to 20,439 litres in capacity. With dual or

triple tanks, and tow-behind or tow-between configurations,

there is an option to suit any operation.

Right across the range, Flexi-Coil’s air carts are built for ease

of use, safety, versatility and fast-filling and emptying to help

you get the task done efficiently. Safety is also a given with

Flexi-Coil. Upgraded ladders, platforms and railings mean

current model air carts meet Australian Standard AS1657

for safety.

Every farming operation is different. Some growers need high capacity air carts that let them cover lots of ground. Some want to apply multiple products at a time. Some want tow-behind air cart, some tow between.

But every grower wants an air cart that offers ease of use, safety, versatility and fast-filling and emptying – and that’s what they get with Flexi-Coil, no matter which model they choose.

40 seriesThe 40 Series air carts bring easy operation with convenient in-cab control. Select tow-behind or tow-between, and use variable rate metering to set product rates from the tractor seat. The attached auger is easy to operate and allows one person to quickly fill or empty the air cart, while the stairway and platform provide easy access to the tank lids.

40 Series air carts feature an optional wide stance front axle (for tow-behind carts) and tyres for flotation and stability in all terrains. This versatility makes it easy to match an air cart with your farming system. The standard rear wheel track is 3.05 m. The optional wide stance front axle has a 3.05 m wheel track for tow-behind air carts and suits controlled

traffic farming systems. The 203 mm (8’’) auger option lets you load very quickly. Controls are conveniently located at both the top and bottom, with a rotary valve for varying auger speed. Balanced for easy one person operation, the auger also swings underneath the air cart for unloading.

50 series

The 50 Series air carts are designed for growers who need large capacity and diverse metering capabilities. Like the 40 Series, they include FlexControl electronics and easy filling and emptying with a large capacity 25.4 cm (10”) auger. Two or three integrated tanks let you apply several products separately, or use full capacity with a single product. You can control the airflow to each meter for fine-tuned product delivery.

The 50 Series air cart is available standard with variable rate metering, and with a GPS input and task controller software, can do as prescription seeding. The 2850 and 3350 air carts are both two-tank models, with total tank capacities of 10,103 litres (280 bushels) and 11,528 litres (330 bushels) respectively. The 2850, 3350, utilise two integrated poly tanks, and 3850 and 4350 models use three integrated poly tanks.
