The Parker Seed Chariot seed tender lineup, a product of Unverferth Manufacturing, Kalida, Ohio, has expanded with the new model 3620R with a longer 21-foot conveyor for filling the tallest central-fill planters and drills with ease. The split compartment tank is ideal for hauling multiple seed varieties with a combined capacity of 360 seed units.
The extra-long 21-foot conveyor provides fast, yet gentle unloading with its 36 inches of added conveyor length to reach the tallest planters. With 180-degrees of pivoting, the downspout reaches up to 40 feet for filling individual planter seed boxes. The winch-operated height adjustment provides over 5 feet of range between highest and lowest unloading position.
All 3620R Parker Seed Chariot tenders feature an 8-inch tubular style conveyor with cupped and cleated belt constructed from woven polyester fibers and PVC coating for long life and unloading speeds of up to 25 bushels per minute. A rubber-lined conveyor discharge hood further protects seed quality. The conveyor features a tool-free removable lower panel for quick cleanout between varieties and vinyl hopper cover for keeping the conveyor inlet clean during road transport.
It is powered by an industrial-grade gasoline engine with electric start for easy operation and centrifugal clutch direct-drive system for the quickest conveyor response and added reliability. All controls are housed in a weather-tight compartment located on the driver’s side for convenient operation.
For transport reliability the 3620R features a tri-axle undercarriage with 7,000-pound capacity torsion axles and new 235/85 x 16 highway-rated tires with electric braking on all axles for added stopping power. The standard transport chains, reflective striping, tail, turn and running lights promote safer on-road transport.
With steep slopes, complete tank cleanout is assured between crops and varieties. Tank components are finished with a two-part urethane enamel in dove gray and all undercarriages and conveyor parts are powder-coated in midnight gray for added durability. All welded seams are sealed with silicone for added corrosion resistance. A standard roll-over tarp keeps contents clean and dry.
An Optional Dinamica scale package is available with auto conveyor shut-off for the most accurate weight information, load after load. It can be programmed to dispense a specified quantity of seed per box and automatically shuts off the conveyor to maximize seed use. Additional options include 4’ flexible downspout and 10-foot three-stage telescopic downspout to match individual needs; electric-operated winch for easily controlling unloading height, a wireless two-function conveyor remote and T&G applicator for applying seed lubricants.
