Description of Machine

The Duncan Ag Vineyard Seeder is either a single curved disc or double disc drill with dual boxes for seed and fertilizer. The drill is carried and operated from the three point linkage of the tractor. The sowing depth control is achieved from two trailing wheels with individual wheel retraction stops. The right hand depth control wheel is also the drive wheel for the seeder unit. A wide variety of seeds can be sown from the seed box, from small seeds like turnip and rape to large seeds like peas and maize. The machine has a calibration system for setting seeding rates prior to operating, which is very simple and accurate to use.

Working Principle

The gearbox, pegged seed rollers and seeder flaps are set to give the desired seed rate. The disc(s) create the seed bed. Seed flows down the flexible tubes between the seeder and the coulter casting units, and drops into the prepared seed bed.
