Distribution Kits Options
As mentioned in the introduction, there are
a number of distribution kits that can be fitted to
your implement and connected to the Pasture
Planter.
a) Broadcast Distribution Kit
b) Individual Placement System
c)
Combiner ‘Y’ System
1. Broadcast Distribution Kit
A Broadcast Distribution Kit can be fitted to most
Gason implements. Kits are supplied to suit
different implement widths. Each kit is supplied
with sufficient towers, heads, hoses and scatter
plates to allow for 450mm-600mm wide spacing
between toolbar mounted outlets. Mounted on
the rear row of the implement, light rates of seed
can be evenly scattered across the ground.

2. Individual Placement System
The Individual placement system can allow for
low rates of small seeds to be placed throughout
the implement similar to the main distribution
system.
Gason’s do not manufacture a specific
sowing boot for the smaller final 12.7mm ID hose
but do have an adaptor that can be fitted to a
standard 32mm ID Gason sowing boots.
Alternatively, owners/dealers may wish to make
up their own sowing outlet device specific to their
requirements. This individual placement system
will service a maximum of 55 outlets.

and Individual Placement Systems.
3.
Combiner ‘Y’ System
The Co
mbiner ‘Y’ System allows the operator to
combine product from the pasture planter into a
number or all of the main primary distribution
hoses. This can be particularly useful for planting
canola or other small seeds at low rates from the
pasture planter and combining them with
product, such as fertiliser, from the main seeder
bins.
Product can then be directed down a tine
or disc opener as required. Combiner systems
are normally ordered in kits to suit the number of
main primary hoses you wish to feed into.
Common kits are 2, 3, 4 and 6 outlet systems.
Individual kits are also available if required.
