  • Positive Displacement Metering
    • PDM Pro Metering - A precise, finely pitched high-density poly metering auger draws product from a large, flow-through sump, through a machined metering orifice.  The barrel of the auger housing is lined with a UMHW liner. (later models)
    • PDM Plus Metering - The high density poly metering auger is matched with a machined steel orifice to provide accurate and consistent product metering (older models)
  • Transmission Metering Drive - The metering system transmits power from the drive wheel through a main clutch & drive shaft.  Separate gearboxes are stationed along the drive shaft, each protected with it's own torque limiting clutch.
  • Good Floatation -  Various Tire Options ensure good floatation & minimal compaction. 
  • Cab Rate Adjust - The Cab Rate Adjust option allows you to adjust the metering rate of each individual metering auger on-the-go from the tractor cab. This feature is very convenient for making slight adjustments for product rates.
  • Tank Mounted Camera System - Bourgault offers a leading stand-alone monitoring system that allows you to watch what is happening in each compartment and behind the air seeder.
  • Product Lift System - Bourgault is the first in the industry to provide the Product Lift System for operator safety and convenience.
