NEW SEEDING

While seeding into a freshly prepared site, the front angling rollers help cut through the top crust, kicking up a light amount of soil, making sure the ground is soft. The seed is then dropped, and compressed by the rear roller. Establishing this initial seed to soil contact is essential in achieving a high rate of germination.

OVERSEEDING

The All-Purpose Seeder is an ideal overseeder for several reasons. One, it is ground driven which takes some of the burden away compared to a powered overseeder; You don’t have a driveline and related drivetrain components to maintain, and, two,

the front rollers are adjustable to various levels of aggressiveness.

By adjusting the front two rollers, you can control how aggressive

you want to be in the existing turf you are overseeding. If the 7 existing turf is fairly sparse, go light on the angle of the rollers so

some dirt is kicked up, but the existing turf is not torn up. If the existing turf is thick, the front two rollers can be set quite aggressive to work through thatch and dead grass build up, allowing the seed to drop closer to the soil.
