Flex Hoe 400The Flex Hoe 400 air drill uses a flexible frame to deliver accurate seed placement over the entire width of the machine, followed by on-row packing to ensure the best opportunity for fast, even germination.
Choose your seeding style, and then equip the Flex Hoe 400 with your choices of trips, openers and press wheels.
Residue flow is smooth thanks to the four-bar frame which provides ground clearance up to 32 inches. Paired with ample depth between shank rows, this allows for excellent residue flow. Leading casters carry the frame inside the front, and press wheels carry the rear, so residue is never blocked by wheels inside the frame.
The Flex Hoe 400 flexible frame follows field contours to maintain the seeding depth you choose. The flexible frame joints dissipate frame stress for more durability than frames with traditional, solid-welded joints. The key flex points are protected with high quality chrome pins, non-greasing polylube bushings, polyurethane pads and barrel bolts.
Two hydraulic cylinders and single-point depth adjustment provide simple control of seeding depth across the entire machine. It’s exact, repeatable, easy-to-set seed depth, in every field. This design eliminates the fading, leading and phasing problems associated with master-slave designs.
A parallel linkage between the front casters and the rear press wheels keeps the frame level and maintains seeding depth in changing conditions. Dual walking casters provide optimum flotation. They are standard on the center section of larger models, and optional on wing sections.
