New 7-plex Folding 3545 Paralink Hoe Drill Introduced by Bourgault

Bourgault Industries is proud to announce the release of its latest innovation in customer productivity. At the Bourgault Seeds for Success product introduction in Phoenix, AZ dealers were introduced to the new 7-plex folding 3545 Paralink Hoe Drill™. This new family of products from Bourgault comes in common widths from 80 to 100' and folds conventionally into an ultra-narrow transport envelope. The 3545 is unique as it combines optimized transport dimensions, without sacrificing options, productivity, application rates, flotation, or trash flow. This is Capacity without Complexity.

“When we decided to design the new 100', we knew the demand for a 100' was still there, and for that matter the demand is only going to grow, especially with the improvements we introduced. There are customers that are currently expanding their farm size, and that is not an easy task. If they get enough acres that warrants a second drill, or maybe a third drill, now you are talking about another tractor, another operator, and of course you have to pay for, maintain, store and depreciate all this extra equipment. We had producer cooperators that were hitting 56 acres per hour productivity including their fill times last Spring.” Commented Curtis Hinrichsen, Territory Manager with Bourgault.
