Since its original release, this newly improved model 1255 Pull-Type has evolved into a multi-use applicator. With the appropriate options, one machine can now broadcast inter-row up to 7' or the same machine can also apply a 12" to 30" surface band in row spacings up to 10'. With the broadcast boom, the unit can apply in 16' or 20' swaths. These operations were previously accomplished by customer modifications in the field but are now available in option packages that allow you to order the unit based on your specific needs.

Metering Roller • The 1255 PT uses two fluted rollers for metering granular product or seed. The red rollers have 28 grooves and are used for application of fine products such as granular herbicide and small seeds such as grass, flax, canola, alfalfa, etc. The grey rollers are more coarse with only 12 grooves and are used with fertilizer and larger seeds such as wheat or soybeans. Each unit comes with both types of rollers. |
• A Murphy gauge measures air manifold pressure using inches of water column. The gauge is connected to the in-cab control and warning light and buzzer to warn of insufficient air pressure, ensuring proper application.
 |
Manifold-Venturi System And Funnel Tray • The venturi and manifold systems can be lowered by means of a quick release. Funnel trays are inserted for collection of product when calibrating or emptying the unit. |
• Manually operated slide gates stop product flow to the metering system allowing you to remove the roller for cleaning or servicing.
Sight Gauge
• A plexiglass sight gauge lets the operator check product level in the hopper.
Calibration Hand Crank
• To make calibrating a product as precise and easy as possible a hand-crank is provided to turn the metering system. The product can be collected by using the funnel trays and weighed for determining exact application rates.
In-Cab Control
• The dual electric clutch control allows you to operate the metering system from the operator’s seat.
• 2 magnetic clutches and in-cab control, allowing 1/2 shut-off on either side.
 |
Sixty Speed Gear Box • Rate adjustment is easy and precise with 60 settings at 5% increments. The gear box features 8 speeds, 2 ranges and 4 input drive ratios giving a wide selection of rates. Combined with the ground drive system, it provides unparalleled accuracy over the entire range of settings. |
