1
Simple Depth Control
Bourgault incorporates an indexed pin depth adjustment that is simple and repeatable. Each position provides 1/6" of adjustment, for a total range of 2½" (sets seed depth range for QDA™ systems).
2
Quick Hydraulic Response
The PHD™ Opener utilizes a 1¼" diameter cylinder for quick lifting at the headlands and reduced hydraulic demand.
3
ParaLink™ Control
The ParaLink™ design maintains the attack angle of the opener in the ground as the opener follows the ground profile, resulting in consistent soil flow and superior seed placement.
4
Superior Piston Seals
The hydraulic cylinder is equipped with double u-cup piston seals which offer excellent protection from wear and damage---the leading cause of internal leakage.
5
Lube-Free Bushings
Spend more time in the field and less time greasing. Bourgault incorporates high performance Teflon lined composite bushings on chrome pins to ensure a long service life without the hassle of greasing.
6
Greater Opener to Packer Distance
The PHD™ Seed Opener Assembly is designed with an optimum opener-to-packer distance. This allows soil to flow into the seed row and aids residue to pass through the frame. You can achieve a consistent seed depth at greater seeding speeds for the given working conditions.
7
Choice of Seed Openers
Regardless of its position, the ParaLink™ design guarantees consistent seed knife angle relative to the ground allowing you to select the seed knife or tip that works best for your farming operation.
Guidelines are provided to help achieve intended results, but, final opener selection and subsequent field performance is the responsibility of the opener Manufacturer and the Owner.
8
Choice of Packer Wheel
To suit your specific seeding requirements, Bourgault offers a range of packer wheel options to match your opener selection.
9
Built to Last
Strong, well-designed cast components resist bending and breaking, even when conditions are tough. You don't have to worry about bent seed arms tracking poorly resulting in erratic row spacing and possible seed damage.

Bolt-On Wheel Assembly
A packer wheel assembly can be quickly changed in the field. Get seeding again in minutes! (Drill is equipped with a spare packer wheel and hub.)
