Bourgault Tillage Tools has been innovating tillage and seeding tools for over 25 years based on farming experience. They introduced the Speed-Loc system 12 years ago, which allows quick changing of points and adapts to most cultivator tines. It provides benefits like fast changing, consistent depth, and durability. The system can be used with a range of sweep points and seeding boots to configure drills for different crops.

1. MAKING IT POSSIBLE

2. For more than 25 years, Bourgault Tillage
Tools have been at the forefront of innovation
and technical development in the tillage
and seeding tools industry. This was borne
out of their own farming and hands-on
field experience and the realisation that
leadership was sorely lacking in the research
and development of tillage and seeding tools.

3. Speed-Loc ///
12 years ago, Martin Lishman Ltd
introduced the Bourgault Tillage Tools
Speed-Loc system to UK farmers. Now
standard fit on all major UK manufactured
cultivators, Speed-Loc can be retrofitted to
almost any tined cultivator on the market.

4. Speed-Loc ///
• Fast & easy point changing - a few minutes rather than hours saves time and money
• Upper stop keeps points at the same depth - critical for uniform crop emergence
• Spring-loaded pin prevents loss of points - backed by a 100% guarantee
• Durable and long-lasting - heat treated casting and stainless steel components
• Fits most types and shapes of tine - from standard to heavy duty applications
Once the tine is fitted with a Speed-Loc Adapter, the whole range of
Bourgault Tillage Tools is available for use
The Benefits of the Speed-Loc Adapter
A few hits and the
point is locked on.
Speed-Release Tool depresses the
locking pin and the point is easily
removed by striking the top.
Upper stop ensures points
run at consistent depth.
Urethane spring applies
pressure to the locking pin
and seats against the tine.
Special side-locking nuts should
always be used to prevent
vibration loosening the adapter
on the tine.
Heat treated stainless steel
locking pin provides a secure
locking mechanism that will not
rust or corrode.
Bolts seat closely in the casting
to avoid twisting on the tine.

7. Quick Change Sweep Points ///
• Versatile system - from minimum cultivation to full tillage across the machine width
• Manufactured from high Boron steel - heat treated for longer life
• Parallel wing design - maintains original width throughout its wear life
• Superior crown design - keeps the tip sharp for good penetration as the sweep wears
• Narrow stem - causes less soil disturbance and leaves a smoother field finish
• Huge range to fit the Speed-Loc system - from standard to heavy duty applications
Benefits of Sweeps from Bourgault Tillage Tools
Bourgault Tillage Tools have a reputation for quality and durability. All points are even wearing and long lasting.
Every one is checked during manufacture for accuracy in shape and fit to the Speed-Loc Adapter.
The Narrow Stem design means
the sweeps disturb less soil, which
ensures good soil moisture retention
and leaves a smoother field finish.
The ends of the wings are cut
parallel to each other which ensures
that the sweep maintains its width
as it wears and provides maximum
value.
The sweeps are manufactured from
high Boron steel, heat treated for
longer life.
The crown of the sweep is designed
so that the tip stays sharp as it
wears, which is important for good
penetration in tough conditions.
Most sweeps are available in 6mm
thickness or the better value and
more durable 8mm thick versions
- better suited to the UK’s abrasive
and stony conditions.

8. Quick Change Sweep Points ///
Sweep Points
There are over 50 Speed-Loc Points to choose from: 6mm or 8mm, standard or heavy duty and seed-bed preparation or primary
cultivation tools. After 12 years use in the UK a pattern of types to suit different machines in our range of soils has emerged and are
usually available from stock. The most commonly used points are 8mm thick from standard duty (200 series) range. Some popular
examples are shown below.

information about converting your machine, please contact us on
01371 830358 or at parts@jbrockandsons.com
Primary Cultivation Tools
The range includes spikes and points with hardened and extended-wear pads to improve penetration in tough soil conditions.
The wear pads, with a hardness of 52-56 HRC, increase life expectancy and give longer wear times. For deeper working, extended
heavy-duty wear pads protect the pin in the Speed-Loc adapter.
Spikes
Ideal for primary cultivation in very dry and hard conditions. Two versions are available:
Both are 2¼” (57mm) wide, 5⁄8” (15mm) thick and 6” (15cm) long.
Use the 0215, with the extended heavy-duty wear pad, when
working at greater depths.
200-SPK-0200 200-SPK-0215
Extended Wear Points
In addition to a hardened wear pad, the point on these sweeps runs 1⁄2” (12mm) lower than the standard sweeps. This increased pitch
improves penetration in hard or compacted ground.
With 4” (10cm) wings (6mm thick on the 0405, 8mm thick on the
0428) and 2¼” (57mm) wear pad. Use the 0428, with the extended
heavy-duty wear pad, when working at greater depths.
5½” (14cm) or 9” (23cm) wings, 8mm thick, with extended
heavy-duty wear pad for working at greater depths.

11. Quick Change Drilling System ///
Quick Change Seed Boot Assembly
The quick change drilling system is comprised of four separate components: Seeding Opener, Speed-Loc adapter, Seed Boot Holder
and Seed Boot. Choosing the right combination of components is determined by the crop being drilled, and is key to achieving the best
results when drilling. The choices available in the Bourgault Tillage Tools range mean that you can always choose the right tool for the
job, rather than having to compromise.
Adapter Holder Seed Boot
There are additional seed boot holders and seed boots available, but rarely used in UK conditions - the complete range, including accessories such as seed hose
bushings to fit the seed boot holders, are part of the full range at BROCK PARTS. Some accessories are listed on page 27.

Seeding Openers
Sweeps
A sweep is the most frequent seeding opener used on tine drills. The sweep can match the seed boot used: the
spreader seed boot is best used with the 4” (10cm) sweep (200-PWV-0400) or 5½” (14cm) sweep (200-PWV-
0508); the splitter seed boot would be used with the 200-PWV-0508 or the 7” (18cm) sweep (200-PWV-0708). If
a greater width of disturbance is needed while drilling, a wider sweep can be used.
Spoons
Spoons are very easy-pulling openers giving moderately low soil disturbance if working speed is kept around 7.5
km/h. When used with the straight seed boot, the 2¼” (57mm) spoon (200-SPN-0208) will provide a 2” seed
spread and the 3” (76mm) spoon (300-SPN-0308) will give a 3” spread.
Spikes
Spikes may be used as a seeding opener, but only to give extra penetration. They will create more disturbance
than spoons.
Knives
Seeding with knives is commonly associated with drilling beans, though there are many options possible for
creating narrow seed channels. The 200-KNF-0810 (pictured left) is a 3⁄4” (19mm) wide knife which is designed
to work ahead of the bean seed boot and create very little disturbance. It has a chrome tip which provides
reasonably long wear in non-abrasive conditions. Also available with a carbide tip (200-KNF-0811 - see below).
Carbide Knives
There are many options for knives fitted with carbide tiles. Not only do they provide extra wear in abrasive soils,
they also have a steeper angle of entry into the soil which means they will not lift and pull rocks and stumps to
the surface. The 200-KNF-0811 has a 1” carbide tile for shallow drilling, the 200-KNF-0813 (pictured left) has a
3” long carbide zone for extra wear when drilling deeper.

nose, cutting edges of the wings and carbide inserts on
the rear of the wing to seal the fertliser trench.

14. The Importance of the Adapter Nuts and Bolts
The Speed-Loc adapter will not be effective for long if it is not secured to the tine properly. Each adapter has a designated bolt type
and size: Imperial (1⁄2” or 7/16” over-size head ), Metric (M12 10.9), Plough or Hexagon (as detailed on Page 8). The casting of the
adapter is designed to accept the head and thickness of the designated bolt and it is essential that the correct one is used. Similarly, a
corresponding Imperial (1⁄2” or 7/16” Grade 8 side-locking) or Metric (M12 stover locking) nut must be used to ensure a secure fit to
the tine that will not be loosened by vibration.
The Ideal Angle
For best results and longest wear times Bourgault sweep points should be fitted so the angle of entry into the soil is between 2° and
5° from the horizontal. Speed-Loc Adapters ensure this on most machines, but some may also need one of the angled wedges shown
below.
To check the angle, fit one or two
tines with an adapter and sweep,
stand the machine on level concrete
and measure the height between
the back tip of the sweep and the
ground.
Sweep width Pitch height range
5.5” / 14cm 4 - 10mm
7”/18cm 5 - 13mm
9”/23cm 6 - 17mm
10”/25.4cm 7 - 18mm
11”/28cm 8 - 20mm
12”/30.5cm 8.5 - 22mm
13”/33cm 9 - 24mm
14”/35.5cm 10 - 26mm
16”/42cm 12 - 30mm
18”/46cm 13 - 33mm
The urethane tine wedges alter
the pitch of the point on the
Speed-Loc Adapter. The ideal
angle for longest wear time of
the point is between 2-5° from
the horizontal.
Ideal range of sweep pitch heights
Decreasing Pitch Increasing Pitch
If the pitch height is outside
