New mounting kits to fit StocksAG Turbo Jets to Sky EasyDrills

StocksAG have introduced a mounting kit to fit a StocksAG Turbo Jet 8 and 10 to pneumatic trailed SKY EasyDrills allowing separate metering and accurate application of products like Avadex through an additional set of outlets behind the drill’s press wheel.

Designed to integrate with the SKY EasyDrill, the mounting kit consists of a loading platform, steps, and guard rail that meet all safety regulations and maintain a safe environment for the operator.

“The new StocksAG mounting kit will meet the needs of SKY EasyDrill owners looking for an applicator that will precisely meter and accurately spread Avadex granules through a separate distribution circuit,” says Greg Moore, Norwood Brand Manager – Equipment.

The 240-litre hopper includes an Avadex feed block metering roller, 32mm seed hoses, and ten outlet spreader plates, allowing for an even application. The granules are applied directly to the seed bed behind the drill allowing for a consistent even spread pattern.

A Turbo Jet Avadex applicator fitting kit is also available for the 4m and 8m EasyDrill: the 4m with a Turbo Jet 8 (8 Outlets); the 8m EasyDrill with the Turbo Jet 10 (20 outlets) and the option of a 400-litre hopper.

For ease of operation the Turbo Jet is fitted with the intuitive i-CON Control, which allows for rates to be automatically controlled in proportion to forward speed for ultimate accuracy.

The application accuracy of the Turbo Jet mounted on a Sky drill has been independently tested and exceeds NSTS requirements.

When the Turbo Jet is not being used for applying Avadex, it can be used as an additional applicator, enabling a fully specified drill to apply five products at once through three different outlets at variable rates of product with mapping data using a GPS based touch screen.

“The Turbo Jet is the ideal applicator for Avadex,” says Greg. “It can also be used for applying clover seed, full-rate grass reseeds, and cover crops if mounted to a wide variety of machines, including grass harrows, cultivators.

The Turbo Jet can be colour matched to SKY Agriculture colours if desired.
