This is a generic code, more specific information on parts is available by clicking through the various sections.  This page gives a summary of what we have available for various BOURGAULT machines.  Alternatively if you use the enquire now button above one of our staff will call you to discuss which size wheels, which tyre profiles, which discs and which hubs are most suitable for your conditions and what type of assembly will best suit your conditions. You are welcome to call and speak to one of our staff at any time.  Manutec has a long history of working with Australian farmers to fit a range of aftermarket parts to BOURGAULT farm machinery and has experience to help farmers make the machines work more efficiently for better results and less downtime.  If there is a product that you need and you do not see it here, you are welcome to call and discuss with our product development specialists.

Purchasing aftermarket parts for your machinery can be a daunting task, so if you are not sure please give us a call.  We know what questions to ask you about your farm to help you make the correct decision.  We believe that every farm is different and it is important to understand what is going to work best on your farm.  We can also discuss your machinery and which type of assembly is best.

BOURGAULT 5710 AND 5810 AIR HOE DRILLS AND COMPATIBLE MODEL MACHINES

Manutec has two aftermarket replacement tyres (3 inch and 4 inch) that will directly fit onto the BOURGAULT rims.

These tyres are far more durable than the original BOURGAULT tyres and are designed to give longer life in hard rocks and stubble.

Codes are 22PW100GFSD (4 INCH TYRE) and 22PW80GFSD (3 INCH TYRE)

The advantages of the Manutec tyres are;

• Direct fitment onto BOURGAULT Rims
• Stubble and Stone resistant tyre (Solid Rubber)
• Value for money

When fitting the Manutec tyres ensure that the tyres are pre-warmed overnight or left in the sun on a hot day. Ideally the tyres should feel quite hot and they should be allowed enough time so that the internal temperature of the tyre is also hot. This will make the tyres more flexible and much easier to fit.  Definitely do not try to fit the tyres on a cold morning or leave them in a freezing shed overnight before fitting as most likely you will damage the tyres and make fitting a very difficult process.

If your gangs have reached end of life and are considered beyond then a Manutec Air Hoe Drill conversion is an economical way to extend the life of your machine.  Please note when ordering Bourgault have complicated the process by making their gangs metric spacings, so what you think is 10″ is really 250mm.  Manutec has components to ensure your gang spacings match your metric tyne spacings.  Do not confuse the standard Manutec Gang Conversions, these are suitable for 8810 and 8910 gangs but are not suitable for Air Hoe Drills.    One important note is that Manutec Air Hoe Drill conversions have been designed to be cross compatible with all of the North American Brands of Air Hoe Drills, so the conversion is not going to be a perfect match and some small modifications may be required.  Similarly the shape and dimensions of the Manutec tyre is designed to replace both the 3″ and 4″ tyres and is made of high durability rubber. There is a generic product on this website that gives more detail on Manutec Air Hoe Drill conversions.

BOURGAULT 3320/3420 PRECISION AIR DRILL AND COMPATIBLE MODELS

Manutec has a range of aftermarket compatible replacement parallelogram wheels and hubs for the Bourgault Precision Seed Drills.

A range of interchangeable shapes are available including round, flat, wedge, vee and paired row.  The Manutec wheels can be fitted directly to the Morris Bourgault hub, or if your hubs have reached end of life or require significant maintenance then Manutec offers two different Zero Maintenance AgriHub conversions to replace the existing Bourgault hubs and stubs.  One conversion enables you to fit your existing Bourgault press wheels to the Manutec Zero Maintenance Agrihubs and the other requires you to change to the Manutec press wheels.  One good point to note here is that if you use the first option you can still at a later date use the Manutec wheels if you so choose by knocking the studs out.  Pictures of the conversion are in the gallery.

The advantages of the Manutec system are:

• tyres tailored to your farming conditions
• direct fitment to compatible Bourgault models (no modification or new hubs required)
• Zero Maintenance AgriHubs to replace existing Bourgault  hubs if required
• all parts fully replaceable, allowing for lower through life costs
• all parts are readily available and stocked on location in Adelaide
• value for money

All Manutec parallelogram wheels comprise a high strength alloy 2 piece rim and a user replaceable tyre.  Manutec tyres are made in a number of different grades designed to operate in wet and also dry conditions.  For most farmers doing both wet and dry seeding we recommend the SS high durability tyres. All hubs used in BOURGAULT conversions are Zero Maintenance AgriHubs.

Also currently under development is a hydraulic coulter system to suit these machines,

In the more information section below there is an information sheet that shows some of the shapes.

BOURGAULT 8810 AND 8910 AND ANY COMPATIBLE MODELS

Manutec has been fitting aftermarket press wheels and coulters to the Bourgault range since they were first introduced into the Australian market.  Additionally Manutec has gang conversion systems available to extend the life of the original poly packers or to fit a more appropriate tyre shape to your farming conditions.  The other good news is that all Manutec press wheels and coulters are available as part of the Manutec Zero Maintenance range of products.  More information on all press wheel and coulter systems to suit the BOURGAULT range of airseeders is available on this website.
