Performance

EXACT DEPTH CONTROL

With a 16-inch range of travel, Quantum’s opener is much less prone to carve into the crowns of hills or lose seed placement in shallow depressions.

• 1:1 opener to packer ratio parallel linkage ensures exact depth control and opener angle of entry
• Most precise depth control and ground following among independent hoe openers

SUPERIOR SEED-SOIL CONTACT

A well-established field is the most important step toward maximum yield potential. Quantum’s improved row unit design provides ideal soil-seed contact for rapid uniform crop emergence.

• Trash flow adapted from C2 Contour — one of the best designs in the industry
• Reduced soil fracturing and excellent seed bed consistency
• Multiple packer wheel options for ideal furrow closure

OUTSTANDING PRODUCT SEPARATION

Morris has measured the impact of fertilizer rates with double-shoot openers on a variety of soils and conditions. Quantum’s double-shoot openers reinforce the outstanding results.

• High degree of fertilizer/seed separation — relatively insensitive to fertilizer rates
• Consistent fertilizer placement below the seedbed

Durability

Advanced Style

The Morris 9 Series tank shape is designed to increase filling efficiencies and operator safety. Silver metallic paint and clear coat provides outstanding toughness and resistance.

New Tank Design

Filling of the tanks has been made easier with the symmetrical tank design.  The tank lids are closer together and with the optional hydraulic assist the operator can use the wireless controller to adjust the positioning of the spout on the auger/conveyor.

New Tank Lid Design

The lid design incorporates a gas cylinder to assist the operator when opening and closing the tanks.  The new handle is also positioned so that the operator does not need to stand above the lids to open them.  The lids can then rotate to sit along the tank panel and reduce clutter on the walkway.

New Stairway

The stairway has been relocated to the rear of the air cart and can be accessed from the auger side.  A retractable section provides a low step height when in use then slides up and locks it out of the way.  The sliding section has 2 larger gas cylinders that help lift and hold the stairs until locked in position.

Left Side Access

The auger/conveyor have been moved to the left side for easier access when filling. A new 6-function wireless remote has been included with the optional hydraulic assist to reduce operator fatigue.

New Walkway

The walkway is positioned to allow an operator more room to work and avoid dust when filling the tanks.  Handrails around the walkway platform offer excellent protection for a more secure and safe work area.

Precision

The 9 Series is engineered to offer the most precise air delivery system to control input costs.

Flat Fan Divider Heads

This patented design maintains a smooth horizontal flow of products as it leaves the primary runs to the divide into each secondary run.  This precise and efficient system ensures that germination, growth and vigour are protected.

Meter Bodies

The meter bodies have been updated to include single person operation of the inspection and calibration access doors.  The operator can quickly inspect the seed-plate in each meter body.  New calibration doors speed up calibration time because the operator does not have to pick up parts from the ground.

High Efficient Fan

An industrial piston-type hydraulic motor powers the 43cm (17”) diameter forward curved fan.  Large hydraulic lines decrease flow restriction for less heat build up under higher fan speeds.  A dual fan option is available for large width seeding tools.

Metering Wheels

The time-proven spiral fluted metering wheel is the centre of the metering system.  The spiral flute provides a continuous flow of product into the air stream.  The meter body on the 9800 air cart model has been widened to accommodate up to 10 metering wheels to utilise larger seeding units.

Input Control Technology

Advanced engineering provides a more cost-effective and reliable way to conserve crop inputs. The Morris Input Control Technology™ is engineered to prevent overlaps by stopping product flow over the sections that are not required. The ICT system uses a unique drive system to engage or disengage the individual metering wheels, which stops the product in each tank from flowing instantly.

Instant Overlap Control

With the simple sprocket-driven system, the metering wheel is either engaged and turning or is stopped. The metering wheels for each section are always full seed and fertiliser, which reduces the time required to charge the system when beginning the next pass. This sprocket-driven system is visible to the operator when inspecting the tanks.

Rate Control

The 9 Series can be fitted with most rate controllers including established brands such as Top Con, Trimble, CNH, and John Deere. By integrating these systems to your Morris air cart, the installation of these systems allows you total flexibility at your fingertips, including variable rate application (VRA) and liquid control.

Metering Options

Equip your 9 Series with either variable rate or mechanical drive metering.

Mechanical Drive Metering

Quick-change sprockets provide simple, reliable adjustments between crops and posi-drive transmission uses a positive lock on all drive sprockets to deliver smooth and reliable metering.

Seed and fertiliser rate charts have been added to the tanks to allow for a quick reference when starting calibrations of different products.

Fan speed, shaft rotation, bin levels, acres seeded and other critical data are available with the standard monitor system.

Variable Rate Metering

The Morris variable rate options is quick and responsive for precise ‘on the go’ rate changes.  The VRT option features Top Con’s industry-leading X30 Console with an intuitive multiview interface.

Other consoles utilising CANBUS and ISOBUS can also be used for variable rate functions.

Working Widths
The CX 8105 is available in 25 feet (7.62 m) or 31 feet (9.45 m) working widths with the choice of 10 inch (25.4 cm) or 12 inch (30.5 cm) row spacing.

Air Cart Tank Access
The folding ladder and catwalk provides easy access to the air cart tanks.

Precise

Independent Opener Technology
The independent opener features parallel linkage for ultra-precise seed and fertilizer placement.  Each opener follows the contour of the ground, even on hills.  Adjustable on-row packer wheels pressure provides excellent seed to soil contact.

Shank Design
At the heart of the C2 Contour’s ability to shed residue is the design of the single shank.  The reclined 12-degree angle moves residue up and off the shank faster.  The distance from the ground level to the catch point is 21 inches (53 cm) to greatly reduce the potential for crop residue to bunch.

Parallel Linkage
The true-one-to one parallel linkage maintains a constant opener angle relative to the soil and opener depth relative to the packer wheel through its range of travel.  The opener can contour up 10 inches (25 cm) and down 7 inches (18 cm).

Depth Setting
The opener cam is up and away from the ground, so opener adjustments are much easier to make.  Fine-tune your seeding depth without tools or heavy lifting.  Rotate the cam by hand and insert the pin to lock in the desired seeding depth.

Hydraulic Accumulator
Pressure is maintained on the opener cylinders through a passive hydraulic accumulator system, which acts as a hydraulic cushion for the trips and reduces the demand on the tractor hydraulics.  Pressure can be monitored from the tractor cab.

Efficient

Capacity
The 105-bushel (3695-liter) capacity features 60/40 split tanks and an optional 10-bushel (352-liter) third tank.

Precise Metering System
The patented metering system allows quick and easy change over from single- to double -shoot. The spiral fluted metering wheel gently rolls a consistent flow of product into the air stream.  This unique design eliminates the need to change wheels and reduces the chance of seed damage and uneven metering.

Convenience
All in one seed plates save time.  One quick change lets you meter fine, medium or coarse product.  Slide shutoffs on all tanks provide access to the meter components without having to empty product from the tanks.  A hydraulic valve manifold providing all operator adjustments is conveniently located on the air cart.
