SEED-RITE

Primary seeders
25-70 HP (19-52 KW)
Cat. 1

The Seed-Rite is a premier full-width seed broadcaster designed for efficient seeding across a diverse range of applications, including lawns, golf courses, parks, sports fields, and hay fields. This advanced machine ensures precise seed metering and placement at the optimal depth for effective seed germination. Featuring a robust diameter front corrugated roller, the Seed-Rite effectively levels the surface and prepares an ideal seed bed. Meanwhile, rear corrugated roller, works to incorporate the seeds into the soil while gently applying pressure through two side springs to compact the surface after seeding. The lightweight yet durable nylon and fiberglass composite roller rings, standard with the Seed-Rite, contribute to the machine’s overall reduced weight, making it compatible with lower horsepower tractors for ease of use. For those requiring additional soil pressure, optional cast iron roller rings are available, providing enhanced performance for more demanding seeding tasks. The Seed-Rite is the ultimate solution for achieving a lush and healthy landscape, making it an essential tool for any turf management professional.
