The 3420 PHD™ employs proven ParaLink Hoe Drill™ technology with the advanced design of the revolutionary TransFold™ System.
Seeding at a condition-appropriate speed eliminates the risk of soil throw onto adjacent rows that can cause poor seed placement and result in uneven emergence.
Big Concept with Deep RootsBourgault has invested thousands of hours and acres into the design, testing and operation of the 3420 ParaLink Hoe Drill™. Our Designers, Operators and Co-operators put the 3420 PHD™ through most every scenario so that the final product was ready to work.
The TransFold™ System
See How it WorksControlled by the Operator via the X35 Apollo System, the unique TransFold™ design provides an incredibly narrow transport width for easy maneuverability when traversing challenging roadways and turning tight corners making transporting a unit of this size stress-free.
Forgiving Over Uneven GroundDespite its incredible width, the 3420 PHD™ follows dips and draws with ease.
TreadLite™ Spreads the LoadFlotation is maximized with the TreadLite™ System, which contours independently of the rest of the frame, providing a consistent down pressure. The system is composed of two independent rear wheels that fold down in field position (a set down pressure is set at the factory based on the drill's configuration).
THE PHD™ OPENERThe 2:1 contour ratio of the PHD™ Opener Assembly is designed to deliver good contouring characteristics, excellent penetration and consistent results in a wide range of seeding conditions.
THE PLX™ OPENER
Close Contouring for Precise PlacementThe PLX™ Opener provides a 1:1 contour ratio, the choice of Producers challenged with variable field topography. The precision 1:1 contour ratio means that for every inch that the packer wheel moves vertically, the seed opener moves the same distance of one inch. This, along with the closer positioning of the seed opener to the packer wheel, maintains the set seeding depth more closely over hills and through runs.
Drill Control
PackMaster™ & LiftMaster™Two Drill Control features that improve both efficiency and field finish are the PackMaster™ option and the LiftMaster™ feature:
Drill Control features are supported by the X40 Apollo System and Bourgault Intelligent Control™.
