Applequist Manufacturing - TerrainFlex Walking Beam for Air Drills
The TerrainFlex Walking Beam is a critical solution for enhancing the efficiency and performance of 30', 36', 40', and 42' three-section 1850, 1860, and 1890 Air Drills on uneven terrains. Designed to replace the factory rigid frame, which often struggles with openers' travel and uneven seed placement, the TerrainFlex offers pivoting walking beams that significantly improve contact between gauge wheels and ground contours. This adjustment leads to reduced mechanical failures and ensures a consistent planting depth, which is crucial for maintaining crop uniformity and yield. The product, conceptualized and rigorously field-tested in Kansas by farmers looking to solve pressing issues with their equipment, is designed for straightforward installation. It includes the removal of existing gauge wheels and factory beams, followed by the installation of the TerrainFlex units. This innovation originates from practical farming needs and maximizes the air drill's effectiveness and profitability.
