Uses a patented vibrating action to loosen and break up the soil in the root zone without destroying the established turf

The SEEDA-vator seeder provides turf professionals with the flexibility of primary seeding or overseeding with the same machine. The patented swivel hitch allows the operator to turn around objects without tearing established turf. The solid vibrating tines fracture and loosen the soil without disrupting the turf, while creating the seedbed. First Products designed the seed cup to enable use of both small and large seed. The ground driven seed box allows for variable ground speed without changing the desired seeding rate.

First Products, Inc.

SEEDA-vator with Multi Tine Shaft First Products designed the SEEDA-vator with the full range of features as listed above, including the Universal Shaft System which allows the operator to change shafts for a variety of seeding jobs. The Multi Tine shaft is an optional shaft that can be changed in the Universal Frame. It uses a vibratory action to create the seedbed, with the 2-in. tines vibrating on a gentler offset of 2 degrees, which makes seeding into netting easier, and without ripping the net. The seeding depth can be controlled off the rear roller. This unit is available in 40-in., 60-in., and 80-in. widths.
