Model 138

Sow Far. Sow Good

The Model 138 Air Seeder allowed to do four operations in one pass through the field. That cut down on fuel costs, equipment needs and labour. It also meant better farming.

Out of one field and on to the next.

With a Bourgault 138 Air Seeder the loading and changing seed and fertilizer is done in a matter of minutes. The Bechard Auger Metering System provides simple, accurate adjustments for grains and fertilizers. To transport the air seeder, just fold the cultivator wings and hit the road. The stable Bourgault wheel design allows transport at tractor road speeds.

The Bourgault 138 Air Seeder is positioned behind the cultivator so you have an unobstructed view from the tractor seat of all shanks. And flotation tires mean the seeder applies no more pressure to seeded soil than would a man walking across the field.
