Tractor Implements: Seed Drill & Broadcast Seeder

Seed Drill
A Seed Drill positions the seed in the soil and then covers them. Preventative maintenance for this implement includes greasing  the fittings every 100 hours, and washing the hopper and seed boxes out at the end of the season.

A Broadcast Seeder spreads or “slings” the seed across the ground then pushes it into the soil.  Preventive maintenance for this implement includes greasing the fittings regularly and that the seed box is cleaned out after each use.
