Swathmaster

Great Tool for Cover Crops!

Transland SwathMaster

The large and small SwathMasters are the same standard models that have been produced continuously by Transland since 1958. Large SwathMasters are best suited for higher-powered aircraft and can perform low or high flow rates for a wider variety of jobs, are widely used to dispense rice, fertilizers, and cover crops. The small SwathMasters are used with the standard Transland 9-1/2″ x 25″ gate box and are best suited for medium-powered aircraft.

Note: The measurements are inside dimensions of the hopper throats. The stainless steel SwathMasters are made from .032 thick material and are connected directly to the gate box by quick disconnect clamps, allowing easy installation and removal by the operator.
