Grass Seeder 48-inch - 3 Pt / Towable
| LAWN & LANDSCAPE EQUIPMENT | OVERSEEDERS & BROADCAST SPREADERS |
| POWER SOURCE | GROUND DRIVEN TOW-BEHIND |
The AeraSeeder is a versatile piece of equipment, perfect for primary and overseeding applications. Plant grass seed directly into existing turf, without tearing up the turf, or the soil. Available with a towable draw bar cart, or as a 3-point hitch mount. The unit features a seeding width of 44 inches with a seed bin capacity of 4.75 bushels.
For Primary Seeding, the spike roller breaks up clumps and packs the ground. The seed is then dropped by the seeder and the brush lightly covers the seed. The smooth roll presses the soil to keep the moisture in the ground.
For Over Seeding, the spiked roller pokes small holes into the ground. The seed that falls onto the grass is brushed into the holes created by the spike roller. The smooth roller presses down to cover the seed and keep the moisture in.

Calibrating Seed Rate
It is easy to calibrate the seed rate and can be done in a reasonably short amount of time. All you need is a measuring tape, weigh scale and container. Then follow the steps below.
1. Measure the distance the AeraSeeder is required to travel. For the 3ft calibration tray 333 ft.
2. Pour several pounds of seed into the seed box.
3. Insert calibration tray on mounting hooks below seed outlet at the bottom of the seeder.
4. Set Seed Rate Indicator to desired position.
5. Open seed slider and start Aeraseeder travelling at the same speed as you will be when you are seeding (approx. 5km/h / 3 mph). Close seed slide when you pass the end mark. (If the tray is filled before getting to the end mark, stop and empty calibration tray into a container then continue. Depending on the seed rate you might have to empty the tray a number of times).
6. Weigh the collected seed and the total weight is the pounds per thousand square feet.
