ANNUAL EQUIPMENT & PRODUCT BUYER'S GUIDE

AERATORS First Products, Inc. AGRI-Vator with Seed Box Option As seeding rates and re-growth methods change, producers seek ways to stay abreast of new products and technology to save time and money. The AGRI-Vator seed box option allows a new method of minimal seeding. By running the AGRI- Vator after harvest to stimulate regrowth, the optional seed-box allows producers to seed at a ten to twenty percent reduced seed rate. The lower rate saves on seed cost while allowing producers to continually introduce new seed varieties into existing turf crops and provide faster regrowth and faster harvest by cultivating the soil with the AGRI-Vator. The AGRI- Vator is available in 6-, 8-, and 12-foot widths. For more information, visit www.1stproducts.com.
