2019 Planting: Zells 214ft Airseeder (worlds largest planter)
Ғылым және технология
Gav Zell planting the 2019 winter crop in northern NSW Australia.
Pulled by a Baldwin the 214ft airseeder plants a hectare a minute.
This paddock was last sown in 2016 and has been fallowed since due to drought and lack of stored soil moisture.

With only 600HP pulling, it wouldn't go very fast in their soil conditions. To make that unit productive in US soil conditions, you'd need at least 1,000 HP. Even then, it is only 500HP per 100' of seeder. That soil looks really light and dried out. Easy to pull there. And Welker doesn't actually farm that much land.

All mostly killed by stupid import tariffs. There's a real story here that needs telling.

When I said row cropping I meant that the crop is in rows, I wasn’t referring to the planter/air drill. I also meant that farming equipment has changed a lot. That’s just what we call that type of farming around where I live. Air drills weren’t around when I was a kid. Thanks for your comment. The biggest planter I ever used was a 12 row. The biggest disk I ever pulled was 23 foot.
Great video, used to drive past a few times a year. If it were me I'd be filling with 2 trucks at once ✌🏼
How does it turn at the end of the row? If your field goes around the world the you dont need to turn.

Details? Like how evenly does the product go down, how much product, seeding depth, how many acres per fill, turning it around in headlands, hydraulics to lift and lower (flow?), do you pull it in anything but dry sandy soil, how big are the carts? Etc etc. Cool to watch but the detailed info would be interesting.

Sure would. The Balwin tractor must have sat nav fitted to control accurate bout width matching. Driver is way too far away to see the end of the machine. In addition to the volume of oil flow required to lift the unit, the volume of air for those two seeder hoppers must also be pretty substantial. As big as the tractor is, it's certainly got its work cut out. Would be interesting to find out how an empty hopper or blocked distribution head is flagged up to the driver.

They made these tractors from 1979 to 1990. While very similar to the Big Buds there were not as powerful or big.

Most airseeder are powerd by hydraulic. The tractors have hydraulic pumps that pump oil to the fans in the seed carts that then blow the metered seed and fertilizer down the hoses. Metering of the seed a d fertilizer is of done by electronic motors that can be varied the metering rate on the go. Lower end machines often have mechanical drive metering which is calibrated at the start and then left, it's a very reliable system but doesn't allow for variable rate seeding.

Big bud shouldn't really be in the description as it may confuse some.

Other Australian built tractors built in similar Times was Waltanna an Upton.

Great video. That tractor has been really looked after or very well restored to look like that. Also GPS wasn’t around then so a few upgrades too. Baldwin was (or is?) a railway engine manufacturer so they had experience with building heavy machinery. In the late 1970’s & 80’s large scale farming in Australia expanded and there was a need for big horsepower tractors and big equipment. They weren’t available from the usual brands at machinery dealers then. At the time blade plowing was one of the methods used and required heavy duty high horsepower tractors. I don’t know the numbers but there wouldn’t have been many of these built. I remember seeing a Baldwin on display at Ag-Quip near Gunnedah in the 80’s.

Quite simply, using a standard universal loom, an ATU steering unit, a screen and a receiver from JD. Would be my guess. I fitted one to an old 935 versatile about 10 years ago. Just had to make a custom stabilizer bracket and splined insert for the ATU unit to fit onto the OME steering column. I also used the same system in a Ford 9000 Louisville truck that I have under a broadcaster. Same deal with the ATU mounting, had to make my own fitment components as it was never intended to go in anything other than a JD.. But hey if you have a piece of metal and a little imagination anything is possible
