Rear Seeder Hitch for RT models
The rear seeder hitch kit has been
designed to fit the rear of the trailer frame to
give a strong attachment point for operators
who wish to tow a light prickle chain or light
set of harrows (not disc harrows).
The kit can be mounted in minutes
and all hardware is supplied. The hitch
point uses a 28.6mm (1-
1/8”) draw bar pin
as standard. Refer to the parts manual for
further details.
Pasture Planter
The Gason Pasture Planter has been
designed to operate in conjunction with the
range of Gason Air Seeders. The pasture
planter is generally mounted directly to the
Seeder’s bin. It utilizes the Seeder’s drive
system to operate the metering assembly
and the blower to convey the seed.
The Gason metering system is a
positive and accurate method of placing
small seeds into the air stream. The
system is capable of sowing a wide variety
of small seeds, with minimal adjustment.
Each model consists of a fully sealed
bin, metering system driven by the standard
Air Seeder drive system, hosing and tap to
control air supply from blower and a
platform with handrail.
The Gason Pasture Planter bin capacity:
380 litres / 10.5 bushels

Loading and Unloading Auger
A loading and unloading auger can be
fitted to most of the Air Seeder range. The
auger operates from the same hydraulic
system as the fan using a diverter value.
For more information refer to the Auger
Section in this manual.
Urea Spreading Kit
A urea spreader kit is available to
operators wishing to triple shoot, or to
maintain separate urea placement from their
seed and starter fertilizer.
The kit bolts onto the front of the
implement and distributes the urea through a
standard secondary head arrangement to
spreader plates. The spreader plates are
supported in front of the implement on its
own structure or can be mounted directly to
the tool bar. Urea is spread evenly on the
ground in front of the implement.
Large Seeds / Broad Beans Metershaft
Assembly
A metershaft assembly can be fitted to the
SR meterbox that will allow it to meter large
seeds. Contact your Gason dealer for further
information.
Air Intake Warmer Kit
Gason’s Air Intake Warmer Kit is
designed to heat the air inside the air seeder
distribution system to help reduce the effects
of moisture in the atmosphere.
The
hydraulic
warmer
utilizes
a
specially designed bypass valve to protect
the system from damage, and to prevent
tractor oil loss. The kit fits directly to the
blower intake and will suit most Gason
seeders. Contact your Gason dealer for
further information.
