Hydraulic Power Adds Simplicity to Seed Jet II Bulk Seed Handling System

SystemsOne - a Yetter Company - unveils its new Seed Jet II with Hydraulic Power bulk seed handling unit.

"The Seed Jet II is the heart of a system that enhances productivity by eliminating the time wasted handling seed bags," says Derek Litchfield, Research and Development Specialist for Yetter. "The hydraulic unit takes that further by eliminating the need for a gasoline engine to power the unit."

Litchfield points out that, because it runs on existing hydraulic power sources, the hydraulic Seed Jet II delivers results from a small, compact power unit that can be permanently mounted on a planter or drill, eliminating the need for separate transport of the unit and allowing permanent hydraulic hose connections. He also notes that the direct drive operation means that there are no belts or pulleys to adjust.

"It's just an easier, more efficient way to power the Seed Jet II," observes Litchfield. "It costs much less because there's no engine to buy - and there's no engine maintenance later. Operation is easier, too. Just quick-couple the air supply hose between the blower and airlock, turn the hydraulic lever, and you're in business."

The hydraulic Seed Jet II requires only a 12-gpm hydraulic supply for operation, and features a pressure regulator to ensure maximum seed flow under a range of hydraulic pressures.

Litchfield says that, as with the motor-driven Seed Jet II, the hydraulic version is proven safe on soybean, corn, wheat, edible beans, rice or cotton seed. It saves time, cuts costs and reduces the hassle of handling heavy bags. The blower's airstream enters the air lock and the seed slides through a flexible, 35-foot stainless steel hose until it enters a decelerator that gently swirls it into a planter or drill box.

In addition to the Seed Jet II, the SystemsOne system includes a variety of Seed Jet II options and accessories, plus a wide range of bulk seed storage and transport equipment.

Established in 1930 and based in Colchester, Illinois, Yetter Manufacturing Company is the industry leader in planter attachments that boost productivity and profitability. Yetter makes a variety of coulters, residue managers, precision fertilizer placement products, markers and bulk seed handling devices.

The new SystemsOne Seed Jet II™ with Hydraulic Power adds simplicity to the efficiency of this bulk seed handling system. Running on existing hydraulic power, the compact unit mounts right on the planter or drill. It cuts cost because there's no engine to purchase or maintain while maintaining all the advantages of the Seed Jet II - especially filling speed and seed quality protection. The Seed Jet II is proven safe for soybean, corn, wheat, edible beans, rice or cotton seed.
