Introduction

Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new product owners.

This pulverizer seeder has been designed with care and built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper assembly, maintenance, and safe operating practices will help you get years of satisfactory use from this pulverizer seeder.

Application

The SPS2048 and SPS3072 Pulverizer Seeders are designed and built by Land Pride to efficiently do the tasks of seedbed preparation and precision seeding. Both the 48" model and the 72" models are adapted for Category I 3-point hitch mounting. Seed metering is driven off of the rear mounted pulverizer roller making the metering rate directly proportional to forward ground speed and distance traveled.

Front mounted scarifier shanks open and loosen the soil, while seed cups drop the seed directly into the cultivated soil behind the scarifier shanks. The rear pulverizer roller immediately breaks up unwanted clods, levels the ground, and presses the seed into firm contact with the soil. When soil conditions are right, this can often be done in one highly efficient pass.

The Land Pride SPS2048 and SPS3072 Pulverizer Seeders are well suited for use by professional landscapers and rental yards. They have applications on sod farms, transportation right-of-ways, golf courses, park systems, athletic fields, construction sites, and housing developments. See “Features and Benefits” , “Section 6” for additional information.
