I can remember when my cousin down by Weyburn bought his first Prasco air seeder. I asked one of my friends if he ever considered buying one. He told me they were not suited for his soil type and won’t catch on. Within five years he was dragging around a John Deere air seeder himself. Now they are bigger than your house.
That is going to be one sweet drill to use . The only draw back with them that I can see from the road is when you go around corners the shanks all line up .
We’ve found with seedhawk/seedmasters that if you do your headlands “backwards”/clockwise your shanks don’t overlap on corners like they do when you go counter clockwise.
Great purchase! Getting away from those mid rows will be nice. Too much maintenance on them. We ran Seedhawk for 14 yrs did a fantastic job. Looking forward to seeing it in the field. You should be running your Versatile with the Hawk. Would look good … same color scheme.
So with the 4 tanks does all that product have to get to that central manifold with the electric meters or does each tank have that row of motors? Is there a conveyor bringing it to the central electric motor bank? I know nothing about drills.
I know guys talk about one drill seeding better than the other we have a 3320 our neighbors have a hawk and there really isn't a difference atleast with our land i really think it just comes down to preference. Id love to run a brand new hawk tool bar with a bourgault tank i like the simplicity of the bg tanks but thats just me. I know id never get mid row banders ever again if i got a other bourgault drill.
I also like the BG tank and easy clean out. MRB are ok if adjusted right and maintained. To me it seems like canola emergence on canola is quicker and more uniform. It may even out in the end anyways 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome drill, congrats! But at the end of the day Dustin, all the yields are quite similar. It's not rocket science. You place the seed and fertilizer in the soil and you move on to the next field. Around here I can't tell which drill seeded what field come July. It's either they all look like crap or they all look good. But I do understand switching things up from time to time. And I'll agree that the SeedHawk metering and sectional control is superior. Good luck next spring!
@DavesNotHome2704 that's hilarious when guys smack talk seedhawk because we bought a 2017 3320 bourgault 3 years ago and that thing had multiple MULTIPLE cracks our neighbors have about a 16-17 hawk they bought new not one crack....
Was the Bourgault in need off replacing and the Seed Hawk a better price or better technology. Your Bourgault looks to be better shape than Mike Mitchells
@dustinbezugly Yeah. Don't get me wrong but seed hawks are very good canola drills. We put urea and phos down in fall. We don't one pass. But nothing emerges better than a seed hawk.
Great video, thank you Dustin!

They are huge now that’s for sure
It’s the crops on the scale that count
My brother in law bought a seed hawk last winter was very happy with it.

I see what you mean. Seedhawk has the same opener stagger throughout the drill. BG switches stagger half way through
Always make your turns clockwise then there is no overlap.
Awesome looking airseeder and cart Dustin
Looks beautiful! 👍
Don’t forget to take off the battery for the air cart 😊 for the winter and store it in the shop
Great video Dustin
so what was the strongest negative with the Bourgault for you to move away from them...please Dustin reply!!!

There is manual release off the latter
Done

Yes that would look deadly

Each tank has a row of motors metering product into the airstream
@dustinbezugly Thanks, I couldn't see in the video. That's impressive.
Are you going to use the SctX subscription or RTK of your Tractor?

I know what u mean, we run a morris quantum with a bourgault tank!!!
@@dustinbezugly be interesting to find out cant wait to see some vids in the spring of that thing going

I agree, you put seed and fert in the ground and pray for rain. I’m hoping for they all look good
Massive ! They are a pain to move around on Farming Simulator..I'd like to pull one in real life. MUCH smaller equipment when I worked on farms..
You will see a big difference in canola emergence then the BG IMO
That’s the plan! Heard guys seeding lighter than the recommended rate and still getting their target plant population
Yes I’ve done that. Your crop can get pretty thick looking with a Hawk.
Just curious... What were the downsides/annoyances of your Bourgeault setup?
@MFKR696 bourgaults are busy.... especially if you have mrbs lots of hyd hoses and seed/fert hoses its just messy compared to seed hawk
It will piss you off when the seed hawk frame starts cracking and the factory won't do anything about it
Ya it would but frames haven’t cracked in years

We were looking to upgrade. Better price, tech, emerg. BG still in decent shape. 30,000a on it
What dealer has the bg? Or are you selling privately?
Redhead Saskatoon
We sold our seed hawk and bought a bourgault. Lol
QDA Bourgault?
@dustinbezugly Yeah. Don't get me wrong but seed hawks are very good canola drills. We put urea and phos down in fall. We don't one pass. But nothing emerges better than a seed hawk.
I hate adjusting depth. It's painful
I’m hoping to keep everything at 3/4” we’ll see
@dustinbezugly That's what we did. 5/8th. Our dirt is very heavy. Almost too heavy for a seed hawk or qda
Why....
Seedhawk is better than seed master
