5500 Air Drill

Features a patented two-piece wing

The Flexi-Coil 5500 Air Drill features a patented two-piece wing, with simple, parallel-circuit hydraulics, to minimise stress on the framework while ensuring depth accuracy.

The air drill is available in 60 ft (18.3 m), 70 ft (21.3 m) and 80 ft (24.4 m) widths for larger operations.

Split-row tyne configurations in spacings of 254 mm or 305 mm (10” or 12”) give you a smooth field finish with conventional C-shanks using the same proven trip design.
