Graham Seed Treater

[gwanaka]

Iam looking for a new more efficient seed treater and am wondering what people thought of the G3 seed treater

I bought one 7 or 8 years ago and it works well. I use it on a brush auger I built to treat pulses and it covers seed very well. Seed comes out of bin ,into brush auger goes thru treater (hanging on the end) where it is sprayed with Apron max. It then goes up ny 40 foot auger into grain truck.
When it comes out of treater each seed has just a speck or two of chemical on it but by the time it goes up auger into truck it is entirely covered.

It's easy to change coverage with the pressure guage or fine tuning the valve on chemical holding tank.

Have used 2 for a number of years. Works very well if you hang it from the bottom of a bin or else hang it from an auger and then run it through a second auger to thoroughly mix. Sometimes have to clean the bottom funnel because the dust in the seed tends to stick to the edge and get coated with treatment.

A Hutterite colony somewhere south of Lethbridge builds a treater that just slides under a hopper bin. Haven't used one myself but have seen it at another seed grower. Maybe not as easy to clean out as the Graham but you can get by with only 1 auger.
