Introduction

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

This All Purpose 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 the machine.

Application

The APS1548, APS1560, APS1572 & APS1586 All Purpose Seeders are excellent combination planting and cultivation tools for golf courses, school systems, municipalities, rental yards, construction companies, sports fields, and college campuses. Their narrower widths make them effective in seeding applications on residential lots, grassy medians, grassy parkings or right-of- ways adjacent to sidewalks, community parks, sporting facilities, and golf courses. Unlike wider models of seeders these units will do a more effective job of planting in areas where undulations, moguls, and depressions are prevalent.

The seed box is equipped with our standard fluted seed cups and an agitator enabling highly accurate and uniform delivery of most turf grass seeds as well as a wide variety of other seeds ranging from alfalfa to peas. The spiked front rollers can be adjusted for more or less “crab-action cultivation” making them an ideal choice for opening up and planting in hard or thatchy soil profiles.
