APS15 Series All Purpose Seeders
APS1548
Overview:
QUICK-HITCH COMPATIBLE
Our Quick-Hitch System allows you to quickly connect and disconnect from the implement - most without leaving the tractor seat. This is a real time saver when working on multiple projects.
FLUTED SEED CUPS
"Precision" seeding is accomplished using proven fluted metering cups. Each flute grabs just the right amount of seed for even distribution.
OPTIONAL SMALL SEEDS BOX
The small seeds box is designed to meter various small seeds. OPTIONAL REAR SPIKE ROLLER Opens ground surfaces covered with heavy vegetation and/or grasses to allow seed to make contact with the soil. Allows planting over existing grass without killing the grass. Mud scrapers reduce build-up when working in wet, sticky, or trashy soil.
OPTIONAL REAR PACKER ROLLER
Cast notched packer rings press seed into full contact with soil that has been worked into a seed bed. Mud scrapers reduce build-up when working in wet, sticky, or trashy soil.
