HayBuster 147C Seed Drill

Features

The 147C is BACK! The 14’ rigid drill is in demand, with all the features that has made the 107C so popular.

Now planting in 14’ increments and weighing in over 5,600 lbs., this is a superb drill for planting in heavy residue and hard to-penetrate soil.

The 147C Grain Drill is designed to seed No-Till, Minimum Till, or conventional tilled fields. The two-compartment hopper offers the flexibility of seeding with dry fertilizer, seeding alone, or planting two different seeds.

If you need to plant in heavy trash conditions and have substantial acres to seed, the 147C is the drill for you!

 

Standard Features

  • Lead Coulter System: Lead coulter blade is offset 1 ½” in front of dual disc, allowing for cutting of trash and penetrating the soil.
  • 7” Row Spacing: All Haybuster drills plant with 7” spacing and each linkage is offset 9 ½” for planting in heavy residue.
  • Infinite Seed Rate Adjustment: Easy to set, each box has infinite seed adjustment for accurate seeding rates, no matter what seed you’re planting.
  • Down Pressure System: Each linkage has simple downpressure adjustments from 135 lbs. for conventional seeding up to 300 lbs. for no-till application.
  • Depth Control Adjustment: Simple, solid depth control adjustment on each linkage.
  • Mechanical Drive System: Wide, aggressive lug-type tractor tire drive wheel for positive ground contact to assure accurate planting.
  • Cast Iron Linkages: Built of heavy-duty cast steel, the Haybuster drill linkage is even more durable than ever. The cast steel makes the overall drill even heavier, which is always a positive when reseeding pastures and all no-till applications.
  • Three Seed Boxes: Haybuster drills come standard with two seed boxes with individual metering. The third box (front) is the optional legume box. With the legume box installed, Haybuster drills are capable of planting three different seeds at three different rates.


Optional Features

  • Legume Box: Haybuster drills can be equipped with a third seed box designed for accurately feeding and metering small seeds and legumes. Also available with longer hoses and seed boots for shallow seed placement.
  • Native Grass Attachment: Haybuster drills can be equipped with dual seed agitators, large seed hoses, and seed boots for accurately planting light, fluffy bearded seeds such as native grasses.
  • Single Bottom Agitators: Prevent bridging of seeds near feed wheels to maintain flow of seeds. It is standard equipment with the Native Grass Kit or can be ordered separately for the rear box.
  • Depth Band: Bolted on to the coulter to limit the maximum seeding depth.
  • Brackets to mount two barrels for extra weight.
