STOCKS AG UNVEILS TURBO JET 10 HYDRAULIC TO GLOBAL MARKET AT AGRITECHNICA 2025

Global launch of high-capacity, high-accuracy applicator designed for wider working widths

The new Stocks Ag Turbo Jet 10 Hydraulic (HD) will be launched to the global market at Agritechnica this November. The Turbo Jet 10 HD provides users with maximum airflow for higher application rates at working widths from 10m up to 15m. It can also be run at faster forward speeds and can be set up to apply full-width, in bands or in rows as required with outlets either blanked-off or doubled up as necessary.

Renowned for airflow and output and built with industry-leading high-capacity electric fans, the current range of Stocks Turbo Jet’s excel at applying product at up to 10m. However, the appetite to work at wider working widths globally continues, be that with rolls, drills, cultivators, comb harrows etc. This has led Stocks Ag to develop an applicator with even more air flow to apply small to medium sized seeds such as oilseed rape, clover, grass, mustard, etc... at high rates from 10m as well as micro and granular products at low to medium rates, all at up to 15m.

The Turbo Jet 10 HD’s hydraulic fan can be remotely mounted, making it simple to integrate with different host machines. Remote mounting also enables the fan to be sited away from dusty areas. On Cambridge rolls, the hydraulic unit can be fixed to the main drawbar with the hopper positioned above the rollers, reducing the hydraulic pipework required.

Meeting Global Demand

"The global launch of the Turbo Jet 10 Hydraulic is driven by clear demand - growers, export customers and OEM partners have all asked for a high-accuracy, high-capacity applicator that can handle wider working widths. With its upgraded fan and performance beyond 10 metres, we believe this will be a real game-changer in the market," says Sean Stanfield, Sales Manager at Stocks Ag.

Product is metered by a rotary feed and delivered pneumatically, however instead of an electrically driven fan, the Turbo Jet 10 HD has a multi-blade, 1400cfm (cubic feet per metre), 4” hydraulic Crary fan. This fan offers a maximum operational RPM of 6,000 and a 4cc motor, which offers an output to match most drills. This allows the tractor’s oil flow requirement to be kept low (27L/min - 65L/min).

Testing has been carried out on a range of product including slug pellets, wheat, barley, OSR and Avadex. Working at 15m and applying a precise, low-rate of Avadex granules, it produced a Coefficient of Variation of +/- 5%.

In the field, customers have praised the seeders capabilities. A customer in Nottinghamshire, England commented:

“The Turbo Jet 10 Hydraulic has been a fantastic upgrade for us - it is well-built, simply designed and easy to clean. The hydraulic fan provides all the airflow we need - it was a no-brainer to move on from the twin electric fans, which had served us well.

We primarily use the seeder for full reseeding across our 400 acres of grassland, supporting 1,000 continuously housed cattle. It also handles our cover crop, wild bird mixes and herbal ley establishment with ease. Even establishment is critical on a forage-focused farm - if the forage is wrong, it affects the milk we produce and the research we undertake.”, Joe Greenfield, Farm Manager, University of Nottingham, Centre for Dairy Science Innovation.

The Turbo Jet 10 HD has one metering segment per outlet allowing for precision metering and the standard range of 50mm diameter feed block kits are offered for common seed and granule sizes and application rates. A new high-rate, 59mm diameter, large feed block kit has also been developed for the Turbo Jet 10 which will effectively feed product to the wider working widths, high application rates at standard widths or low weight, high volume products up to the 15m working width.

The applicator is supplied with either 10 or 20 outlets and with either a 240L or 400L hopper. Further accessories are available to ensure operators get the most from their machine.

Two different control systems can be specified; the JACKAL or the i-CON, both offering fan speed and function monitoring. ISObus ready machines are also available and can be connected to the tractor’s in-cab terminal as required.

A Turbo Jet 10 Hydraulic with Jackal control, large seed block (typically used for grass seed and cover crops) and a 10-outlet spreader kit plus C rails retails at £8,718.
