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. For more information, visit www.1stproducts.com.

Redexim North America Overseeder 1275 The Overseeder 1275 is fast and effective. It actually buries the seed up to 20mm (3/4-in.) deep in the ground, safe from the beaks of hungry birds and out of the way of the wind. The amount of seed you wish to sow is controllable to a highly accurate degree and the Overseeder takes the most undulating ground firmly in its stride. This is thanks to individually mounted coulters that allow them to ‘float’ over contours.
