A.F. Gason Pty Ltd is an Australian owned
family business operating from within rural
Victoria. The Gason company has been
servicing the needs of rural Australians for
more than 60 years. We operate through a
local dealer support network that spans the
country. A.F. Gason’s would like to thank
you for purchasing your Australian made Air
Seeder, and trust that you will have many
years of trouble free service.
The Air Seeders have been designed
to be functional, practical and reliable. They
incorporate the latest technology in air
seeder design but retain their basic
functionality
to
ensure
ease
of
maintenance.
The Gason 1800 and 2000 range of
Air Seeders can perform a variety of
seeding operations and are available in
either a front tow (FT) or rear tow (RT)
model. There are a number of bin
capacities available with either 2 or 3 bin
configurations. A large range of sowing
outlet configurations are available, making
the Air Seeder adaptable to a variety of
implements to perform different tillage
practices.
The Gason metering system is a
positive and accurate method of placing seed
and fertilizer into the air stream. The system
is capable of sowing conventionally, often
referred to as single shooting (seed and
fertilizer together), deep banding (separating
the seed and fertilizer) or triple shooting
(handling 3 separate products through to the
implement). The system can also sow
summer and winter crops with minimal
adjustment.
This manual endeavors to provide the
owner with a complete understanding of the
Air Seeder’s operation and the processes
required to obtain the highest level of
performance possible. It is suggested that
the owner/operator read this manual and any
other literature that has been supplied with
your machine to ensure a safe and trouble
free operation.
References to the left and right hand sides of
the Air Seeder are from the rear of the
machine looking forward.
