Modular Metering System

 New Zealand farming doesn’t happen in controlled environments. Wind, rain, variable conditions, and tight drilling windows are part of everyday life. That’s why Boon developed a fully enclosed, modular metering system, designed to deliver consistent, accurate sowing regardless of what the weather is doing.

This is precision metering built specifically for New Zealand conditions, not adapted from overseas designs.

Many seed drills still use exposed metering systems. In theory they work, until wind, rain, and inconsistent flow come into play.

Boon’s modular metering system is fully enclosed, meaning:

• No wind interference affecting seed flow
• Reduced risk of moisture entering the metering system
• More accurate seed rates
• Greater consistency across the full width of the drill
• Improved confidence that what you set is what you sow

When seed flow is protected from the elements, accuracy improves - paddock after paddock.

Wind and exposed metering are a poor combination. Even small gusts can disrupt seed delivery, leading to uneven application and variable establishment.

By enclosing the metering system, Boon removes one of the biggest external variables affecting sowing accuracy. The result is:

• More even seed distribution
• Better rate control
• Consistent performance in challenging conditions
• Reliable results across changing paddock environments

It’s a simple principle, engineered properly.

The Boon Modular Metering System is designed to adapt to different farming systems, crops, and future requirements.

The modular design allows farmers to:

• Swap metering cassettes as needed
• Adapt the system for different crops and seed types
• Make changes quickly without complex tools or lengthy downtime
• Future-proof their drill as farming systems evolve

One drill. Multiple applications. A system that grows with your operation.

This system wasn’t designed for calm conditions or ideal scenarios. It was engineered for:

• Windy drilling days
• Variable weather
• Tight planting windows
• Real-world New Zealand farming environments

By designing locally and testing in local conditions, Boon ensures the system performs where it matters — in the paddock, not just on paper.

The modular nature of the metering system means it’s not fixed in time. New metering cassettes and configurations are in development, allowing greater flexibility, control, and capability in the future.

This forward-thinking approach ensures Boon drills remain adaptable and relevant as crop types, regulations, and farming practices change.

By combining enclosure, modularity, and practical engineering, the Boon Modular Metering System delivers:

• Improved sowing accuracy
• Greater consistency across paddocks
• Reduced weather-related variability
• Flexibility for multiple crops
• A future-ready approach to seed drill design
