non-pressurized hopper with a
3.83-bushel per foot capacity leads
either seed or fertilizer to feed cup
bank and fertilizer star wheels.
Seeds are gently metered
through feed cups and fall by grav

drawn into one of the main deliv
ery hoses. Constant air pressure
continues to move the seed to an
elbow designed to enhance even
distribution by keeping the seed in
the middle of the air column.
Seeds then move up standpipes
with a dimpled design that further
ensures even distribution by keep
ing seeds in the middle of the pipe
line without lodging along the
sides. A manifold evenly divides
seed flow and funnels it through
the delivery hose into double-disk

dust to cause respiratory problems l
and the grain is ideal for the hog’s
digestive system. The mill has
