Seed tender handles central container planters.

A NEW BULK seed tender from Sudenga Industries works with most planters and drills, including the new central seed container models. The Backsav'r II holds 200 bu. of seed in two compartments and will unload up to 900 lbs./min. It features a conveyor that folds flat to the side of the box when not in use and reaches up to 50 ft. of total side-to-side length with a three-piece telescoping spout. Constructed of galvanized steel, the conveyor includes a standard wind skirt. The Backsav'r II measures under 12 ft. when mounted on a Sudenga transport. A 5.5-hp Honda gas engine regulates the flow of seed from the conveyor.

Customers may purchase the tender mounted on a 14,400-lb. Sudenga transport with dual electric brakes and adjustable hitch. List prices start at $9,500 and go to $17,800 for a fully equipped unit with transport and weigh scales. Contact Sudenga Industries, Dept.
