Product Description

Stocks Ag Turbo Jet Pneumatic Applicator & Seeder

The Stocks Ag Turbo Jet is a heavy-duty, high-precision pneumatic applicator and seeder engineered for accurate product delivery across working widths up to 15 metres. Available in Turbo Jet 8 (8 outlets) and Turbo Jet 10 (10 outlets) configurations with hopper options from 240L to 1,000L, it delivers outstanding performance for grass reseeding, clover stitching, cover crop establishment, and micro-granule application.

Key Benefits for Farmers & Contractors

• Working Widths Up to 15m: High-capacity airflow options ensure reliable, full-width seed and granule delivery across wide implements.

• One-Pass Efficiency: Mounts directly onto harrows, cultivators, drills, or rolls to reduce field passes, saving fuel, labour, and soil compaction.

• Versatile Application Rates: Precise metering from 1 kg/ha (clover/small seeds) up to 320 kg/ha (heavy seeds/cover crops).

• Proven Precision: NSTS testing proves a Coefficient of Variation (CV) of less than ±5% across wide working widths, ideal for sensitive applications like Avadex.

• Modern Control Options: Choose from entry-level LCD monitoring, full GPS touchscreen precision, or seamless ISOBUS integration.

Understanding Working Widths & Fan Options

Working width is determined by your chosen model and fan drive configuration:

• Up to 15m Working Width (Hydraulic Fan Drive):

  Available on the Turbo Jet 10 Hydraulic (and up to 12m on the Turbo Jet 8 Hydraulic). It utilises a high-output multi-blade hydraulic fan (1,400 cfm)—delivering double the airflow of electric fan models.

  • Low Oil Demand: Requires only 27–65 L/min of oil flow, running easily on standard tractor hydraulic systems.

  • Remote Mounting: The fan can be mounted remotely away from dusty zones to simplify installation and extend service life.

• Up to 10m Working Width (Brushless Electric Fans):

  Standard on Turbo Jet 10 i-CON models using twin digital IP68-rated (water and dustproof) 12V electric fans.

• Up to 8m Working Width (Standard Electric Fans):

  Standard on Turbo Jet 8 models (or up to 6m on entry-level Jackal setups).

Fits a Wide Range of Field Implements

Transform existing farm equipment into a single-pass seeder. The Turbo Jet retrofits easily to a wide range of machinery:

• Grass Harrows & Tined Weeders (ideal for clover over-seeding or full grass reseeds)

• Wide Cultivators & Stubble Rakes (for rapid cover crop establishment)

• Cambridge Rollers & Landpackers

• Grain Drills (as a secondary applicator for companion crops or micro-granules)

Application & Crop Versatility

Equipped with easily interchangeable feed blocks, the Turbo Jet handles a wide range of seeds and granules without crushing:

• Full-Rate Grass Reseeding & Clover Stitching

• Cover Crops & Catch Crops (e.g., rape, mustard, phacelia, stubble turnips, peas, and beans)

• Avadex & Micro-Granule Herbicides

• Granular Fertilisers & Pellets

Four dedicated feed block options (Small Seed, Large Seed, Granular, and High Capacity) allow seamless switching between different products.

Control Systems: JACKAL, i-CON & ISOBUS

Select the control setup tailored to your precision farming needs:

1. JACKAL Control

A straightforward, robust LCD controller for reliable forward-speed-proportional metering:

• Speed signal taken from the tractor’s 7-pin implement plug or an optional GPS sensor.

• Real-time monitoring of application rate, forward speed, hopper level, and fan voltage/hydraulic alarms.

• In-cab speed-matching with simple manual rate adjustment on the move.

2. i-CON Precision Touchscreen Control

Engineered for ultimate accuracy and modern precision agriculture:

• 4.3” Colour Touchscreen console with step-by-step external calibration button.

• Automatic Speed Matching: Integrated GPS sensor matches metering directly to ground speed.

• Variable Rate Ready: Supports prescription mapping and variable rate applications via GPS data.

• Full job logging (hectares, total product applied, and hours worked).

3. ISOBUS Control

• Integrates directly into your tractor’s existing ISOBUS screen using a bridge module.

• Uses tractor GPS data for speed inputs and task control.

• Capability to manage multiple applicators simultaneously from one terminal.

Engineering & Technical Specifications

Heavy-Duty Construction Highlights

• 32mm Internal Seed Hoses: Larger diameter than standard market seeders, boosting airflow and reducing blockages at higher speeds.

• Y-Splitter Connectors: Double your outlet capacity (8 to 16, or 10 to 20) near the spreader plates for uniform coverage across wide implements.

• Stainless Steel Spreader Plates: Heavy-duty, distortion-resistant design with removable bottom plates for quick switching between broadcast and band sowing.

• Standard Agitator: Built-in agitator prevents seed bridging across all hopper sizes.
