Seedmatic Air ProModel: SAP2
The extremely
successful introduction of the Air Pro
4132 air seeder introduced a completely fresh approach to the well known
concept of getting seed and fertiliser out to a wide undercarriage.
Prior to this,
available choices were machines designed for overseas conditions, mainly
European. Predictably, while such machines offer some air seeder advantages,
their foreign design constraints do not always suit New Zealand and Australian
management techniques and operating conditions.
Aitchison decided to utilise their well proven inverted 'T' boot
mounted on the same coil spring and disc coulter undercarriage as the hugely
successful Seedmatic 3000 and 8000 Professional series.
Aitchison married this with a world leading seed metering system
and completed the machine by designing these features onto a chassis which
enables contour following ability unmatched by any other competitive product.
It didn't stop there - road transport constraints are a real headache these
days and transport dimensions are all important. Aitchison have addressed this problem by designing the Air Pro 4132 and Air Pro 6132 to
fold into class leading compact transport modes. The Air Pro 4132 folds to a
transport width of a narrow 2.7m (8'8")
Australia is well
accustomed to air seeders, many of which are Australian designed and built. Most
are specifically designed to plant large crops areas. The versatile Aitchison Air Pro 4132 featuring Aitchison's proven existing pasture
rejuvenation abilities was an instant success there.
Success builds on
success, and hard on the heels of the Aitchison
Air Pro 4132 Australian introduction
came a call for a heavier, even more versatile, larger coverage and higher
capacity machine. The Aitchison Air Pro
6132 was developed and introduced in Australia to address this need.
Using the benchmark Seedmatic 8122 professional undercarriage in multiples and mounting
these on an even heavier duty version of the Air Pro 4132 produced a machine with all of the superb
characteristics of that machine but with a substantial 6.4 metre seeding width.
Like the Air Pro 4132 the Air Pro 6132 enjoys individual seed,
fertiliser and small seed/slug bait options.
