GEN II – 2208
The 2208 is the latest product offering in the GEN II family. Like the larger 2218, the 2208 is a very feature rich metering system, capable of being used for cover crops, fertilizer application or a combination of the two. Available in either 60 or 100 cubic foot tank capacity the metering system can apply up to 800 lbs. to the acre at 5 mph. while being gentle enough to safely meter cover crop seed.
Features
High quality injection molded HDPE plastic augers

- No need to change metering drive for full rate range – unlike other competing brands.
Food Grade Stainless Steel and Poly Construction
- Long life, cleans up easy
Single Hydraulic Input Requirement
- Reduces hydraulic requirements allowing for more options for grower
The 2208 has two options for PWM Hydraulic Block, a Single or a Dual product.

Improved Montag Fluid Bed – 2208 Air Delivery System
- 2208 air system is streamlined to improve aerodynamics and reduce horsepower requirements
- Fertilizer is introduced into the air stream at the air chamber requiring less pressure to move it to the row unit
Components are corrosion resistant
- Any component that comes in direct contact with fertilizer is either stainless steel or plastic.
- Components outside the tank (such as Valves / Weigh bars / Elec. Harnessing) are all selected with our corrosive environment in mind for in field reliability.
