Conveyor
Next Level Efficiency
New Conveyor Features
The auto-tension conveyor system features a spring-loaded design that applies tension to the belt for reduced maintenance, and the convenient tension gauge allows you to quickly ensure the belt is in proper tension. In the event the belt needs to be adjusted, the single-point adjustment mechanism makes it quick and easy.
Conveyor Technology
The patented 5-ply rubber conveyor belt features offset rows of U-shaped cleats that are molded into the rubber belt to eliminate the risk of glued on cleats getting into the planter. The offset in each cleat allows the belt to cup inside the tube and pass by each other to reduce seed pinching.
The conveyor inlet features patented side seals and a brush-seal-brush design to prevent seed from back feeding into the bottom of the conveyor, minimizing seed damage.
Every conveyor is equipped with the Smooth-Start engagement feature which gently brings the conveyor belt up to maximum speed, which increases the belt life.
The extended-length rounded conveyor hood is rubber lined for enhanced seed flow and protection.
Unloading Speeds
Model 4960DXL provides unloading speeds up to 45 bushels per minute with a 15” wide belt inside of a 10” tube.
Models with an 8” conveyor feature up to 35 bushels per minute unloading speeds with a 12” wide belt inside of an 8” tube.
Models with a 6” conveyor unload up to 16 bushels per minute with an 8” wide belt inside of a 6” tube.
Conveyor Reach
Conveyor length is measured from the top bearing to the bottom bearing for a true measurement of reach. DXL models feature a 24’ long conveyor, XL models feature a 21’ long conveyor and models 3760 and 2760 feature an 18’ long conveyor.
Hydraulically operated vertical height adjustment provides easy movement into the loading or transport positions – 90” of height adjustment on model 4960DXL, 83” of adjustment on model 3960DXL, 68” of adjustment on XL models and 54” of adjustment on models 3760 and 2760.
Conveyor Convenience
A tool-free removable belt-access cover on the underside of the conveyor allows the operator to quickly inspect the conveyor belt.
Cleaning out seed between varieties is quick and easy with the tool-free removable hinged cleanout door located at the bottom of the conveyor. The loading stand at the bottom of the conveyor allows the hopper to be placed 3’ 5” off the ground for easy self-loading and optimum conveyor performance.
The loading stand at the bottom of the conveyor allows the hopper to be placed 3’ 5” off the ground for easy self-loading and optimum conveyor performance.
Additional Features
Two downspouts are included as standard for the 60-Series Seed Runner seed tenders. A 4’ flex spout is ideal for reaching and filling central-fill planters or drills. A two-stage downspout that is also included allows the operator to reach up to 37’ on DXL models, 34’ on XL models and 30’ on all other models.
The large vinyl hopper at the bottom of the conveyor features an over-center lock that is easy to use and the regulating baffle funnels seed to the intake of the conveyor for maximum unloading efficiency. A standard hopper cover with elastic band holds it tightly in place when the seed tender is not in use.
All conveyor components are powder coated in a tan speckle color for a long-lasting, high-quality finish. Midnight Edition Seed Runner tenders feature a midnight metallic gray powder coat finish.
Seed Tank
New Tank Features
Hopper access doors allow the operator to easily reach inside for complete cleanout with an air hose at the end of the season or between seed varieties.
Standard L.E.D. work light kit includes 3 spotlights to help with after-dark planter and drill filling.
Scale Package
XL and DXL models feature a standard DG3520 scale package (optional on 3760 & 2760) with 4-point load bars that provide accurate weight readings and record keeping and features Bluetooth connectivity which allows the user to run limited wireless remote functions from a mobile device in the event of a lost remote. The split screen design allows the operator to view the unload weight and total weight in the seed tender at the same time. Standard auto-shutoff for the conveyor automatically delivers a programmed weight of seed and then automatically stops the conveyor.
Tank Design
The all-new 60-Series Seed Runner seed tender features 500 to 275 carrying capacities with dual-compartment tank. The tank design features a low-profile and oversized top opening for added stability and easier self-filling. Steep-sloped sidewalls with graphite coating ensure fast and complete unloading. The oversized hydraulically operated unloading doors help maximize seed flow into the intake of the conveyor.
Models & Capacities
Model 4960DXL features a 500 seed unit carrying capacity for seed delivery or larger farming operations looking to maximize productivity.
Models 3960DXL and 3960XL feature a 400-seed unit carrying capacity for high-profile growers that must plant many acres per day.
Models 3760XL and 3760 feature a 375 seed unit carrying capacity and are the perfect size for most any farming operation looking to streamline their planting operation.
Models 2760XL and 2760 feature a 275 seed unit carrying capacity and are the ideal solution for operations needing to haul smaller amounts of seed.
Additional Features
A standard roll-tarp protects contents from weather and stays tightly locked, even at highway speeds.
Six viewing windows in the side of the hopper allow the operator to easily monitor seed levels during loading and unloading and a 20” wide side mounted ladder provides easy access to the top of the seed tank.
The ivory colored tank features a two-part urethane enamel finish with all seams silicone sealed for a rugged and long-lasting finish. Midnight Edition Seed Runner tenders feature a midnight metallic gray paint scheme.
Controls
New Technology
The CAN bus system provides an electronic communication network for the engine, hydraulics and wireless remote for the smoothest, most efficient operation.
Wireless Remote
A standard 5-function wireless remote on all models controls the conveyor on/off, conveyor raise/lower, opens/closes the hopper doors, starts/stops the engine and controls the engine throttle. This newly designed wireless remote can also manage several additional features including conveyor speed, rolling the hydraulic tarp and turning on/off the shaker kit. The same remote controller is used on the standard 5-function, optional 6-function and optional 7-function wireless packages and can be changed with a quick settings adjustment in the remote.
Power Pack
The electronically controlled Honda® gas engine can be operated from the standard 5-function wireless remote and does not require a choke – simple turnkey operation. The auto-throttle system adapts to the engine load for various functions and automatically increases or decreases the engine throttle for enhanced fuel savings.
The streamlined hydraulic system runs 85% more efficient than previous systems for the smoothest hydraulic operation while using less engine power, so two hydraulic functions, such as raising and swinging the conveyor, can be performed at the same time when equipped with 6-function remote.
Undercarriage
Reliable Transportation
The Unverferth Seed Runner is manufactured with the highest quality components for unmatched durability. Transportation from field to field goes quickly and smoothly with the rugged undercarriage design. All models feature electric brakes on all axles and choice of three lighting and marking packages for safer road transport.
