Optional hydraulic brakes for PD 820 and PD 1000
The PD 1350 air cart continues to set the standard with hydraulic brakes for dependable stopping power and enhanced control during transport and seeding. For 2027, this advanced braking system is now available as an option on PD 820 and PD 1000 models. This gives operators greater confidence and safety in the field.
-
Auto bin pressurization now standard
Previously exclusive to the PD 1350, the automatic bin pressurization system is now standard across PD 680, PD 820, and PD 1000 models. This intelligent feature eliminates manual valve adjustments and automatically adapts to increased fan output for consistent and efficient product delivery.
-
Enhanced iCon Wireless Control System
The iCon Wireless Control System introduces various powerful new features, including:
- Clone Jobs: Quickly create an exact copy of an existing job, preserving all settings for easy adjustments or reuse. This saves time and reduces setup errors.
- Pre-planned jobs: Build job profiles in the cloud and sync them to your iPad before seeding. This ensures a streamlined and efficient start to every operation.
Excellent agronomic performance
Seeding sets the foundation for crop performance throughout the year. It’s crucial to choose a seeding system that not only produces high-quality crops but also performs reliably under all weather conditions. Give your crop the best chance to succeed while reducing risks at the same time.
-
Precise product delivery
High-yielding, high-quality crops are characterised by their ability to utilise inputs to their full potential. Precision metering ensures uniform delivery of products, resulting in evenly spaced plants in the seed row that have access to the desired rate of nutrients throughout the growing season. By reducing inter-plant competition and providing nutrient consistency, the outcome is an evenly maturing plant stand across the entire field, maximizing return on investment.

-
Compaction reduction
Successful crop establishment relies on the ability of plant roots to grow and develop throughout the soil profile. Compaction layers in the soil hinder this growth by impeding root development, reducing soil aeration, and restricting nutrient mobility. It is crucial to ensure that the weight of equipment is distributed over as wide an area as possible to minimize the potential for compaction, especially in heavy, wet soil conditions that may be present during seeding.
-
Improved nutrient use efficiency
Reducing the overlap of a seed drill pass minimises the over-application of nutrients, leading to fewer emissions, reduced leaching potential, and more efficient plant growth. Additionally, nutrient requirements can vary significantly across a field and along the length of a toolbar in highly variable soils. Product metering for every ten-foot section of the drill allows for greater optimization of prescription mapping, ensuring the correct amount of nutrients is applied where needed.

Lever system for an efficient setup
The first lever on the Fenix III allows farmers to change the diverter plate directions simultaneously, redirecting the flow to the seeding tube or the fertiliser tube, streamlining the process significantly. The second lever opens the lower housing plate for easy access during calibration, clean out and maintenance. This feature ensures that the metering system remains in optimal condition throughout the seeding season
Individual bin load cells
Stopping to guess how much product you have left in the tank is a thing of the past. The modular tank design of Precision Delivery Air Carts features individual compartment load cells.
The load cells weigh each bin separately and provide real-time verification of remaining product. The iCon Wireless Control software uses the innovative Acres to Empty feature to calculate how many acres it will cover. This ensures more efficient filling times and allows you to pinpoint your required fill volume.
Innovative iCon wireless control system
The iPad-based iCon wireless control system delivers complete and easy wireless control of your Precision Delivery Air Cart and Seed Hawk Air Drill, even when you are not in the cab.
With a wide range of innovative features like Acres to Empty, In-field Calibration, and Fit to Field, the iCon Wireless Control system provides you with more detailed real-time information, more automation, more customizable data, and optimized prescription mapping.

Variable Rate Seeding
The amount of fertilizer and seed required to achieve desired yield will vary across the field and, most times, over the width of the toolbar. Seed Hawk’s iCon system is compatible with industry leading prescription mapping to dial in the exact amount of product desired, reducing the amount of inputs used. Each 10 feet of toolbar has its own seed and fertilizer meter to ensure greater accuracy in variable terrain.
Eliminate overlap with Sectional Control Technology™
Hydraulic brake for added control
The PD 1350 air cart comes standard with hydraulic brakes, delivering reliable braking capacity during transport and added control during seeding operations. This advanced brake system is now available for PD 820 and PD 1000 models, providing consistent performance and enhanced safety throughout the season.
