Application

The Land Pride OS1548 and OS1572 Overseeders are a highly versatile and well engineered seed planting systems designed to open up the soil or turf surface, precisely meter out seed, and then press the seed into full soil contact. They may be used for either over-seeding or primary seeding applications. Their versatility and precision seeding capabilities make them an excellent choice for applications in wild game food plots, hunting clubs, resorts, golf courses, sports turf, ranches, turf farms, game preserves, landscaping, professional turf maintenance, and municipalities.

The opening or slitting action is achieved by employing PTO powered to a four or six foot wide rotary vertically driven knives on either 2 inch or 3 inch centers. Depth control of the slitter knives is achieved by either:

1.End-mounted adjustable gauge wheels

2.Front mounted anti-scalping roller attachment

3.Positive height control of the tractors 3-point hitch draft-links.

Seed distribution and placement is accomplished by utilization of high capacity water-tight seed boxes with agitators and seed cups with powdered metal flutes. The agitators deliver seed to the seed cups which in turn dispense seed into clear vinyl transfer tubes attached to an evenly spaced seed distribution manifold. The distribution manifold uniformly and evenly spreads the seed across the working profile of the seeder. Actual rate and metering control is accomplished by either an end mounted gauge wheels drive or by a rear roller seed box drive mechanism. Units equipped with the rear roller drive will be able to achieve a higher germination rate since this drive also serves as a roller-compactor to help achieve maximum seed to soil contact.

An optional spring-tine harrow is available to enhance seed to soil contact. Also, a precision Slit-seeding attachment is available to deliver seed directly into the slits created by the rotary knives. This slit seeder attachment is not compatible with the spring-tine harrow attachment.
