Air Seeders/Air Carts For Sale in New Zealand

Air seeders and air carts brought about a more precise way to plant beans, cotton, cereal grains, and some types of vegetables when the first air seeder to be patented appeared in Australia in the 1950s. A typical air seeder uses an onboard fan to create an air stream that pushes seed through plastic tubes from the hopper to the coulters; the equipment consists of a seed tank or air cart, an opener, and a packer that metres, positions, and plants seed at a certain depth and also allows for more precise application of fertiliser and nitrogen.

You’ll find new and used air seeders and air carts for sale from Amazone, Bourgault, Case IH, Flexi-Coil, Horsch, John Deere, Kverneland, Morris, New Holland, Seed Hawk, and other manufacturers. With farmers and producers increasingly relying on technology to improve their operations, air seeder and air cart manufacturers such as John Deere are developing systems that can monitor and hydraulically adjust depth and pressure along with software that alerts operators when not enough seed or fertiliser is flowing through the seeder. Manufacturers such as Case IH are working on air carts with staircases, platforms, and internal ladders designed for greater operator ease, along with increased capacity so farmers can plant more hectares with fewer stops.
