Quick-Hitch Compatible

Our Quick-Hitch System allows you to quickly connect and disconnect from the implement - most without leaving the tractor seat. This is a real time saver when working on multiple projects.

Fluted Seed Cups

Optional Small Seeds Box

The small seeds box is designed to meter various small seeds.

Optional Rear Spike Roller

Opens ground surfaces covered with heavy vegetation and/or grasses to allow seed to make contact with the soil. Allows planting over existing grass without killing the grass. Mud scrapers reduce build-up when working in wet, sticky, or trashy soil.

Optional Rear Packer Roller

Cast notched packer rings press seed into full contact with soil that has been worked into a seed bed. Mud scrapers reduce build-up when working in wet, sticky, or trashy soil.
