Stocks Turbo Jet 10 Seeder, 240L & 400L Hopper Options, FETF207P Grant Qualifying!

The Stocks Turbo Jet Seeder is a versatile and accurate pneumatic applicator and seeder. It can be fitted to a wide variety of machines to deliver product up to 10m working width from
grass harrows to cultivators and rolls as well as being employed as an additional applicator on a grain drill.

When used for small seeds, slug pellets or granules the Turbo Jet can be calibrated to apply precise rates across a wide range of products from less than 1kg/ha to more than 100kg/ha.
Commonly used for applying clover seed, full rate grass reseeds, Avadex and cover crops.

Two or even three Turbo Jet applicators can be used independently or simultaneously, eg. to apply OSR, slug pellets and fertiliser at the same time, subject to controller. Combining the functionality of other machines with a Turbo Jet creates a one pass machine, thereby reducing workload and thus saving time and money.

Available as an 8 outlet or 10 outlet applicator, the Turbo Jet can deliver product up to 10m working width. It can also
be set up with some outlets either blanked off or doubled as necessary depending on application and working width requirement.
There are 4 basic models of Turbo Jet to choose from. Depending on the operational requirements for precision and a choice of control system (Jackal or i-CON) can be specified.

Turbo Jet Features Include:

Electronic Controls - Two systems are available Jackal or i-CON (+ISOBUS option). Each system is supplied with a control console connector cable (6m) and fused battery lead (5m). Extension cables are available as a cost option.

Speed & Air Flow - High capacity, reliable, twin electric fans, which are IP68 rated (water and dust resistant) are fitted to all machines.

Working Width - Working width is largely determined by the type of fan and control system selected. The Turbo Jet 10 i-CON machines are fitted with a powerful digital brushless 12v fan and can spread up to 10m working width. Whichever model is chosen the high-capacity electric fans ensure a reliable spread and the versatile feed mechanism easily adapts for different rates and products.

Seed Hose - The internal diameter of the seed hose is 32mm, considerably larger than most alternatives, which reduces back pressure and results in improved air flow. This enables the delivery of higher application rates at higher forward speeds as well as massively reducing the risk of blockages.

Easy Drain Hopper - Most of hte product is emptied from the hopper by removing the drain cap

Build Quality - A robust chasis design, additional motors instead of drive belts and welds in stead of rivets. The quality of build is self-evident.

Band Sow - Simply position the delivery hose as required across the implement width and remove the outlet deflector plates. Blanking spacers and air stoppers are supplied to reduce the number of outlets for band seeding with a 9, 7 or 5 leg sub soiler for example.

Broadcast - Broadcast width of each spreader will vary with different product being spread, and height from the ground. The hose may need to split using the Y connectors. The hose and spreaders are then fanned out to suit.  Typical height approx 250 – 400mm and will vary according to product being metered. The spreader kit is easily modified as required and extra lengths of hose are available as a cost option

Hopper Level Sensor - Monitors product levels in the hopper and triggers an alarm when levels are low. Standard on i-CON.

Auto Shut-off Switch - A useful cut out switch shuts off the feed roller when out of work. Standard on I-CON.

Baffle -  Standard on 400l hoppers to spread the weight on the seed roller and prevent blockages.

Agitator - Powered by a separate electric motor, the agitator is fitted inside the hopper base to prevent difficult seed (e.g. grass seed) from bridging thereby,ensuring a constant flow of seed to the feed rollers. The agitator can be disengaged for delicate seed types.
