The Bulk Boom aims to help producers with faster seeding.
The boom, introduced by Bourgault, is designed to load bulk bags of seed and fertilizer weighing up to 2,400 pounds from the ground or a truck box. It eliminates the need to have a front end loader in the field during seeding.
The boom is mounted at the front left of the cart and can reach the saddle tank and tank three of the main cart. It can also reach the platform, thus allowing the operator to carry an extra bulk bag in the field.

The 2025 Ag in Motion Innovation Awards celebrated winners across five categories: agronomics, agtech, business solutions, environmental sustainability and equipment.
“Our platform is beside the saddle tank, so you can load one bag into the air seeder and have the other bag waiting for you on the platform. Again, it’s one of those time saving things we do,” said Bourgault marketing specialist Rob Fagnou.
“We had it at the show in Red Deer and it seemed to generate a lot of interest.”
The dedicated remote allows the operator to manoeuvre the boom while another person on the other side of the cart manages the auger or conveyor.
In one-man filling operations, the person can run both remotes while standing on top of the tank. The boom will be visible on the left side of the cart and the filling auger or conveyor on the right side.
The boom is now available on new 7700, 7950 and L7800 seeders and as a retro-fit option on existing seeders. It is not available on 7550 machines.
