Making its debut, the Stocks Turbo Jet 10 Hydraulic (HD) provides users with maximum airflow for higher application rates at working widths from 10m up to 15m.
It can also be run at faster forward speeds and be set up to apply full-width, in bands or in rows as required. Demand for wide working widths has led Stocks to develop an applicator with more air flow to apply small to medium sized seeds such as oilseed rape, clover, grass, mustard, etc. at high rates from 10m as well as micro and granular products at low to medium rates, all at up to 15m.
Product is metered by a rotary feed and delivered pneumatically, using a multi-blade, 1400cfm, 4in hydraulic Crary fan. Testing has been carried out on a range of products including slug pellets, wheat, barley, OSR and Avadex.
Working at 15m and applying a precise, low-rate of Avadex granules, it produced a Coefficient of Variation of +/- 5%. The applicator is supplied with either 10 or 20 outlets and with either a 240 or 400-litre hopper. Jackal or the I-CON control units can be specified, both offering fan speed and function monitoring. ISObus-ready machines are also available.
