The SX25 series of single disc row units from Boss Agriculture are available

as parallelogram mounted units or as single pivoting arm units with a

spring or hydraulic ram used to control down pressure when seeding.

The unit has an 18” disc running in the ground at an operating angle of 7

degrees from front to back and 21 degrees up and down, this creates a

very narrow trench which runs down at an angle in the ground allowing

seed and fertilised to be dropped in beside the disc and then firmed

with a press wheel over the top located behind the disc. The benefits of

running an undercut disc include:

• Ability to penetrate very tight soils with minimal down force or frame

weight required

• Avoids hair-pinning in most soil types

• Ability to plant at the maximum depth in testing conditions

• Less horsepower required on wider machines because a heavy over-

engineered frame is not required to drive units into the ground.

• Unique seed trench created that gives better seed to soil contact

Other key features of the SX25 & SX25P row unit that improves

performance include a unique spoked cleaning wheel which operates

beside the disc and in sticky conditions allows mud to be shed off the

disc with a tungsten blade out through the spoked cleaning wheel.

The spoke wheel also provides easy visual inspection to the disc hub

and internal scraper operations. Cleaning wheels can be fitted with an

active stainless steel scraper ring which increases tyre life and extends

operation in sticky conditions. This allows the row unit to start planting

earlier and finish later making better use of available moisture and getting

the crop in the ground faster.

As mentioned above the SX25 series is fitted with a spoked cleaning

wheel beside the disc, this wheel can be fixed or spring loaded (seed

depth is governed off the press wheel) this makes sure the seed trench

is not compacted prior to the press wheel running over the trench.

The SX25P parallelogram row unit is identical to a standard SX25 except it

is mounted onto a parallelogram giving the unit an extra 12” of travel in the

vertical plane. This improves the row units accuracy and ability to plant

into melon-hole country or contoured farming areas.

Double Disc Row Unit

Boss Agricultures DX50 double disc row unit is a robust

parallelogram twin disc opener which delivers optimum seed

placement and can be configured with a precision box or an air

seeding delivery system depending on your requirements. The

unit has been developed for minimum or no-till broadacre farming

applications where a tough, simple, highly accurate planter is

required. The double disc unit offers superior seed placement,

excellent ground following ability and minimal ground disturbance/

moisture loss.

The DX 50 is built on experience with a number of key features

that set it apart from other double disc openers:

• The parallelogram clamps to an RHS toolbar in the diamond

position to ensure the unit locks in and is not able to twist

on the toolbar.

• The parallelogram features a simple, easy to use pin

arrangement for adjusting the down force, all parallelogram

pivots are fitted with replaceable bushes and chrome plated

pins for reliable & smooth operation.

• Each unit can be individually pinned up when operating on wide

or skip row spacings.

• The DX50 has trailing gauge wheel arms which pivot on an

extra wide 120mm bushing ensuring durability in the toughest

broadacre conditions.

• Gauge wheel arms are fitted with replaceable bushes and

axles which also walk independently to maximise seeding

depth accuracy.

• Gauge wheels are a spoke design which in sticky conditions

allows mud shed off the disc by tungsten blades to flow out

through the spoked gauge wheel.

• Gauge wheels can be fitted with an active stainless steel

scraper ring which increases tyre life and extends operation

in sticky conditions.

• Twin 16” discs are mounted on durable tapered roller bearings

with triple lip seals.

• Discs operate at opposing 4 degrees for a narrow seed

trench which reduces down force requirements and creates

a smaller “Vee” to close.

• Available with optional solid fertiliser and/or liquid fertiliser

tubes which are easy to access and adjust without interfering

with seed placement.

• Press wheels are heavy duty running on tapered roller

bearings with easy T-handle pressure adjustment and can be

run offset or opposing depending on ground conditions.

• The DX50 double disc opener units are available as individual

row units or complete planters with various options.

Linkage Framessuits TX,SX25,SX25P & DX50 series row units

Boss linkage frames are available in 8”x 8” frames and 4” x 4” frames

in widths up to 18 metres with end tow, lift assist and several

folding options to suit most requirements. Our 8” RHS frame can

also be fitted with a remote 4” toolbar to allow for varied wheel

track and row spacings.

Boss Agriculture’s TX series of parallelogram tyne planting units

are a robust minimum tillage row that have excellent trash

handling ability and deliver uniform seed placement in uneven

ground conditions.

The Boss Ag TX range of parallelogram tyne planters are available

in both hydraulic and spring release models with a number of

features that set them apart from other tyne parallelograms.

The TX series is available in 3 different breakouts:

• TX45 - 450lb spring breakout

• TX65 - 650lb spring breakout

• TX80 - 800lb hydraulic breakout

Parallelogram Tyne UnitsTX Series

9

From the parallelogram mount to the press wheel the TX series

of units have been designed to deliver precise seed depth control

and be simple to operate and maintain.

The parallelogram clamps diagonally to an RHS toolbar to ensure

the unit locks in and is not able to twist on the frame, this also

means the unit can be easily repositioned on the toolbar if required.

The parallelogram features a simple, easy to use pin arrangement

for adjusting the down force, all parallelogram pivots are fitted

with replaceable bushes and 1¼”chrome plated pins for reliable &

smooth operation.

The TX parallelogram series has a coulter assembly that runs

in front of the tyne controlling operating depth. The coulter

assembly operates with 2 half wheels running either side of an 18”

or 20” coulter disc that cuts through the trash & fractures the

soil, this reduces tyne blow out and allows the planter to operate

in heavy trash with reduced disturbance and lower horsepower

requirements. The coulter assembly runs on a greasable Holden

hub fitted with marine seals.

Boss Agricultures TX series

are fitted with a heat treated low draft planting tyne with pin

adjustable depth control in ½” increments. The tyne assembly has

a removable seed boot which means it can be easily replaced with

different attachments for applying anhydrous gas, or simply pulled

off to be hard faced back in the workshop without removing the

tyne. The tyne box assembly is heavily constructed to handle the

constant load it operates under, again fitted with replaceable

bushes and 1¼” chrome plated pins.

The TX series press wheel assembly is a robust assembly with

some unique features for ease of operation and longevity. The

press wheel pressure is pin adjustable with a positive locking pin

that self locates when increasing or decreasing the press wheel

pressure. The main press wheel arm pivots on a central boss that

is located in-line with the press wheel & parallelogram to increase

operating life and reduce maintenance requirements; this pivot

assembly is also fitted with the same replaceable bushes and

1¼” chrome plated pins used throughout the row unit. The press

wheels are fitted to a greasable Holden hub and available in solid

or pneumatic with a number of different profiles to choose from.

Paraflex Framessuits SX25,SX25P & DX50 series row units

Boss Agriculture’s unique Paraflex frame is a trailing unit fitted

with a floating hitch designed specifically for farming over contour

banks. The simple and robust 2 bar sectional frame is available in

widths up to 120ft with single and double fold options available.

The main benefits of the Paraflex frame compared to conventional

planting frames is its ability to follow contoured, undulating or

melon hole country with precision, allowing seeding depth to be

as accurate as possible for fast and even crop germination. The key

to achieving this lies in the frame design. Common wheel bridge

frames fitted with large flotation tyres suspend a multi-sectional

frame with the ability to not only flex up & down but also fore and

aft allowing the frame to twist over the length of the machine.

The suspended sectional frame minimises stress being transferred

back into the wheel frames to improve the frame life and help

maintain the frames integrity. The Paraflex Frames engineered

toughness means the frame is a very open design for accessibility

without compromising its strength and durability.

Trailing Framessuit TX series of row units

Boss Agriculture’s range of trailing frames are constructed of 100 x

100 x 9mm RHS with plated joints on both the top and underside

of the frame to ensure maximum strength & durability. The proven

frame design built with experience ensures no dead weight is

carried with all cross members load carrying or supportive, this

allows for some flexibility with row spacing’s and provides better

access to row units for servicing.

Boss Agriculture’s trailing frames are available in 2 models:

• Floating Hitch

• Para-Lift

The floating hitch model is designed for farming in contoured or

undulating country as it provides greater flexibility between the

tractor and implement. The para-lift design is suited to reasonably

flat conditions and provides more weight being transferred onto

the tractor for better traction.

Trailing frames are available up to 36 metres wide in a number of

configurations including:

• Single bar – single/double fold or end tow

• 2 bar – single/double fold or end tow

• 3 bar - single/double fold or end tow

• 4 bar - single/double fold or end tow

A key benefit of Boss Agricultures trailing frames is the incorporation

of our flexing centre section as standard in floating hitch machines

which allows the centre section of the machine to flex. This

provides superior ground following ability and also greatly improves

the stability of the machine when folded up as it allows for even

weight distribution when travelling.
