The Gason Pasture Planter has been
designed to operate in conjunction with the
range of Gason Air Seeders. The Pasture
Planter, sometimes referred to as a small seeds
box, is generally mounted direct to the Seeders
bin. It utilizes the seeders drive system to
operate the metering system and the blower to
convey the product.
The Gason Pasture Planter 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 and other products with minimal
adjustment.
The Gason Pasture Planter bin capacity
has been designed to match the capacity of your
Gason Seeder.

380 litres for seeders with a main bin
capacity of 5,000L or less.

600 litres for seeders with a main bin
capacity of 6,000L or greater.
It will hold approximately 270kg / 420kg of canola
depending on the products density.
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
The distribution kits are more fully
explained in the
Distribution System Option’s
sections of this manual.
Please read the appropriate sections of this
manual before assembling and operating your
machine. Field experience has shown that a
good understanding of the features and correct
method of operation greatly reduces problems in
the field.
