PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE by Gerry Bourgault, P Eng. . Thank you for your interest in our products. Since being founded in 1974, Bourgault Industries Ltd. has strived to develop and manufacture innovative products that would make farming both easier and more profitable. Thus, besides constantly striving to be innovative in terms of providing equipment with new features on high durable platforms, we have also consistently strived to develop designs that provide our customers with the most value. Some of our dealers have likely stated our philosophical approach to business the best: “Bourgault is...

rest assured that it represents the best performance and best value in the industry for that particular piece of equipment. If this were not the case, quite simply, it would not be in this catalogue. With regards to seeding equipment, the challenge for us is to continue to develop equipment that will allow farmers to fully harness the genetic potential of the modern seeds. We take our direction for our new design initiatives from the research work that has been conducted by our agronomic team. Rather than being a manufacturer who designs equipment that follows past “Best” agricultural...

The retention of existing soil moisture is critical in dry seeding conditions to ensure timely & even germination. Seeding systems that utilize MRBs® to apply the majority of the nitrogen & sulphur requirements allow producers to employ a low disturbance opener for seed & starter fertilizer. Less soil will be disturbed, & the direct packing over the seedrow keeps valuable moisture with the seed. This Mid Row Banders® have...

MRBs maintain seedbed integrity. MRB systems provide a smooth field finish. ® The surface of the field is much smoother behind drills equipped with MRBs ; ® Bourgault seeding systems with MRBs can provide consistent seed placement lower soil disturbance = smoother fields. This saves wear & tear, not only on field even in dry, challenging conditions. By applying the nitrogen & sulphur fertilizers equipment, but also on farmer’s backs! Also, MRB coulters mounted on the front with coulter openers, low disturbance single-shoot seed openers can be used, of the drill cut through field residue...

MRBs safely place nitrogen & sulphur fertilizers. MRBs establish a root dominant environment. The initial state of both nitrogen & sulphur fertilizers is toxic to the seed. Some There is adequate nutrients from the starter fertilizer, the soil and the seed itself fertilizer programs & variable rate maps call for very high rates during seeding. for germination and initial seedling growth. At the same time, the mid row banded MRBs ensure plant safety by placing nitrogen & sulphur between every other row, fertilizer is converting nitrogen from the initial toxic forms to the more mobile and...

MRBs protect the seed from dessication. MRBs can eliminate nitrogen loss. Virtually all fertilizers are a form of salt, which has a strong affinity to water. If According to independent research, fertilizer loss due to volatilization (gassing placed in too great of a concentration too close to the seed, it will draw moisture off) robs farmers of potential profit--- a threat that is even greater when away from the seed & surrounding soil. MRBs place these fertilizers at an ideal conditions are dry. Testing conducted by the Bourgault agronomy team over location – far enough to prevent...

The 3420 ParalinkTM Hoe Drills are huge, which is why they are equipped with a generous number of wheels to ensure minimal compaction in the field and safe transport when moving between fields. The 3420 has 22 tires in field position, and transports on 14 tires, while the 3420-80 runs on 16 wheels in the field and 10 on the road. Flotation is managed evenly over the entire width of the drill thanks to the innovative TreadLite™ system. The two, 21.5 x 16.1SL wheels fold in the field to compensate for the added weight of the main frame sections and rear tow hitch. The two wheels contour...
