Subject: Re: Bourgault or Deere air seeder


Had 1910 JD, now run 6700 Bourgault. Liked JD, but really like Bourgault. Very easy to clean out, open bottom, blow from top with leaf blower, run the augers for a while, done. Maybe not good enough for certified seed growing, but ok for me. JD was a half hour to get the same quality of cleanout.
Both tanks are variable rate, Bourgault way more accurate. Canola this year, I wanted 4.5, set it at 4.6 so I wasn't light, 1450 acres total went on 4.6.
I would go with stainless steel augers if you get Bourgault, my plastic wear too quick on fertilizer. Even treated wheat will cause trouble with them.
Bourgault tank will empty to about a quart of canola, JD was about 2 gallons. This is using camera in tank. Whatever you buy, put cameras in them.
Conveyor on both, like them both about the same.
Overall they are both great tanks, you will be happy with either one.
Never had JD in really wet years, but the front casters weren't big enough I thought. Needed bigger rubber.
