New Holland Air Hoe Drills

The P2050 air hoe drill is available in width from 27 to 58 feet with your choice of multiple four-bar configurations for 7.2-, 10- or 12-inch row spacing. Based the legendary 5000 Flexi-coil air drill, New Holland is proud to offer the P2050 with the same outstanding features and benefits. This ‘Bulletproof’ design has earned the reputation for being tough, durable and dependable when the going gets tough. Key features such as the non-slab flexible frame, provides industry leading ground following capabilities which results in superior seed and fertilizer placement. Single point depth control along with unmatched trash flow allows operators to spend more time in the field to get the job done right. The P2050’s outstanding features and benefits focus on the essential agronomic principals that lead to better stands, higher yields and higher profits.

The P2050 provides a 32-inch frame clearance that allows heavy residue flow through the drill. The frame is carried by press wheels at the rear and casters on the front, which means there are no wheels in the frame to interfere with residue flow.

The P2050 model’s flexible frame provides unmatched depth accuracy by allowing openers to follow the contours of the ground. Flexibility also dissipates frame stress for more durability than traditional welded joints. Where the frame flexes, durable, self-lubricating joints with chrome pins and polyurethane pads add lasting performance.

Parallel linkage between the front casters and the rear press wheels keeps the frame level and maintains seeding depth in changing conditions.

Dual walking casters provide optimum floatation. Walking casters are standard on the center section of larger models and optional on wing sections.

For the best possible crop emergence, the P2050 offers multiple press wheels and closing options to match the drill to your specific field conditions and field finish requirement. Choose between 350-pound standard trips or 550-pound trips for challenging conditions and double-shoot operations.

The P2060 air hoe drill delivers simple, precise seed placement in 60’ & 70’ widths for increased productivity. Transports & storage are easier than ever with the innovative fold-back design.

The P2060 features configuration choices to match your seeding style, including conventional C-shanks and vertical edge-on shanks to reduce soil disturbance and provide better cutting through heavy surface residue. For tough conditions and double-shoot operations, 350-pound standard trips or 550-pound trips are available.

A wide array of Stealth™ openers for single-shoot, double-shoot, side-band, paired row options are available for the P2050 and P2060 air hoe drills to let you place seed and fertilizer precisely where you choose.

New Holland Stealth™ openers use replaceable tips that work for both narrow-row and spread-row seeding styles. C shank and edge-on shank openers available.

Knife Tips
• Low soil disturbance
• Very narrow spread of 7/8 to one inch
• For use with any press wheel
• Heavy-duty, gumbo or carbide tips match soil conditions

Spread Tips
• Designed for low-disturbance seeding
• Wider product spread allows more fertilizer to be placed with the seed
• Spread tips are available in three-, four- or five- inch sizes
• For use with press wheels that match row widths

Stealth™ double-shoot attachments allow one-pass placement of seed and fertilizer. Seed/fertilizer separation prevents seedling damage. C shank and edge-on shank openers available.

Side Band
• Places seed one inch above and one inch beside the fertilizer
• Wing forces soil over the fertilizer trench to provide separation from seed
• Can be used with all press wheels
• Available in standard or long-life carbide

Paired Row
• Seed is placed one inch above and one to two-and-a-half inches to both sides of the fertilizer
• Three inch available in HS format for heavy soils and gumbo, and in LS format for light soils and sandy loam
• Three-, four- and five-inch available in carbide for extended wear to maintain integrity of seed bed
• Designed to force soil over the fertilizer trench to provide separation from the seed
• For use with press wheels that match row widths

Single-point depth setting located on the front of the air drill hitch provides simple, exact, repeatable seed depth control across the entire width of the machine. This adjustment allows the operator to quickly and conveniently set precise seeding depths to match a wide range of crops and soil and moisture conditions.

The P2060 model includes a flexible frame non-slab that allows each wing and press wheel to follow the contours of the ground independently. The superior ground following capabilities enhances seed placement and accuracy. This flexible design also minimizes frame stress for more durability than traditional welded joints.

Left to right the P2060 features five independent frame sections. A patented two paired-rank frame design delivers precise depth accuracy from the front to the rear of the machine. The front two ranks follow the terrain at a depth set by the nearby caster assemblies, and the rear two ranks follow the ground on which the press wheels run. In addition all tires and packer gangs provide equal weight distribution across the entire width of the drill.

The exclusive variable packing pressure system raises the bar and allows the operator to tailor packing pressure from field to field for greater efficiency. This is versatility allows for accurate fine tuning in variable soil moisture conditions and for small seeded crops such as canola.

A wide array of Stealth™ openers for single-shoot, double-shoot, side-band and paired rows let you place seed and fertilizer precisely where you choose. Customized soil closing options include single-bar, heavy harrow or disc levelers.

Multiple packing choices include gang style press wheels in semi-pneumatic, steel or walking beam pneumatic.

Rubber press wheels flex to shed soil build-up in heavy, sticky soil conditions. The flatter profile rides over a wider area for less packing pressure—just right for soils where too much packing can be a problem or to accomplish a smoother finish. 3-inch semi-pneumatic press wheels can be used with knife openers or when spreading seed up to three inches. It also works for narrow double-shoot 4-inch rubber press wheels are effective for many applications where seed is spread up to 4 inches. 5-1/2 inch semi-pneumatic press wheels offer on-row packing in wide seed spread applications.

Steel press wheels are used in more abrasive sandy and rocky conditions. AV-profile concentrates packing pressure onto a smaller area for higher pressure over the seed. The shape of the furrow also provides protection from wind and water erosion. 3-1/2 inch steel press wheels work well with openers that spread seed up to 3-1/2 inches, or with narrow double-shoot openers. The soil profile is a wide V-shape. 4-1/2 inch steel press wheels spread the packing pressure over a wider area for use when spreading seed or for wide doubleshoot applications. The soil profile is the flattest of the steel wheels.

The walking beam, pneumatic wheel packing option is available on the P2060. The pneumatic tire pressure can be adjusted which provides additional flexibility to accommodate various soil and moisture conditions. The two tire style options available are 5.9” round face or 6.5” flat face depending on the type of soil and field finish desired.

The new P2075 Precision Hoe Drill features a design that is proven to maximize crop emergence, is easy to adjust, and delivers consistent seed-to-fertilizer placement so you enjoy faster planting, maximum yields and a higher return on your investment.

The P2075 precisely places seeds at a consistent depth, with fertilizer placed in just the right spot for maximum nutrient uptake by the roots. Fertilizer is side-banded 1-7/8 inch to the side and 7/8 inch below the seed for the most effective seed/fertilizer separation for crop safety, but next to the roots, so roots don’t have to search for the nutrient source. In addition, you avoid feeding weed populations between the rows. The final result: even plant population with consistent seed depth across the field.

Precise seed-to-fertilizer placement continues even when the P2075 travels over changing ground contours and uneven fields thanks to the industry-leading parallel link row unit. Its state-of-the-art design provides optimum ground following for consistent row to row seed depth. The row unit frame is shorter than those you’ll find on other drills for consistent and accurate seed depth. Individual row units travel more than 15 inches—8 inches up and 7 inches down — to follow the ground. With competitor row units without parallel link, as the opener follows terrain, seed and fertilizer depth varies (inaccuracy of placement). Machine frames have limited ground following ability (inaccuracy of placement).

The manufacturing quality of the new P2075 parallel row units are built tough with machine after welding for improved durability and accuracy for more precise seeding depth from row to row. Sintered metal bushings in the parallel links and packer arm pivot add even more durability and serviceability.

The P2075 is big in field but compact when transporting between locations. The in-cab ISO BUS electro-hydraulic adjustment lets you fold the P2075 back for safe, easy transport and storage. In transport, the P2075 is compact to fit the envelope of your 4WD tractor, and a tight turning radius makes for easy maneuvering when using tow-behind air carts.

Now you can change seeding depth with one hand and no tools. The new, patented cam adjustment allows you to twist a knob on each row unit to change the seeding depth in 5 seconds per row unit. You are able to adjust depth across the entire machine in less than 10 minutes. That’s time-saving productivity.

The P2075 accommodates a wide range of crop seeding depths. You can adjust seeding depth from 0 to 2 inches with 3/16-inch adjustment increments to get ideal seed placement for your needs. You can adjust packing and trip pressure right from the cab and make micro seed depth adjustments for added convenience.
