The Gandy seed transfer system is a pressurized transfer system designed to deliver seed from bulk tank to individual row hoppers for up to 36 rows. The system can significantly reduce filling time during corn, soybean, or small grain planting and provides seed to each row hopper on an 'as needed' basis. The new Gandy seed transfer system is offered in both tow-behind and implement-mounted models.

Farm operators benefit by saving downtime taken to fill individual row hoppers since the bulk bin tow cart will constantly feed each row hopper as it empties. The seed system permits carrying reduced weight in the row box to provide greater control of planting depth and, in some cases, has eliminated the need for individual row boxes. Delivery will shut off as the seed covers the delivery tube. The seed transfer system hoppers, having available capacities of 24, 40, 64, 80, 96 or 120 bushels, can be filled by bulk bag and will individually feed eight to 36 rows.
