Description of Machine
The Duncan EcoSeeder is a Tee-boot drill which can be
operated as a trailing or a 3 point linkage machine.
The seed box is mounted on a robust frame
accommodating large diameter tyres for the arable
situation. The depth of the ground engaging conponents
on the 3 point linkage machine is controlled by adjusting
turnbuckles fitted to each wheel leg. For the trailing
machine, the depth is controlled by using the hydraulic
rams and depth control collars on each ram. The quality
European type peg roller seeder system handles all
seeds from turnip and rape through to peas and maize.
The seeders are driven from one of the groundwheels
via a jockey wheel system and variable speed gearbox.
For transport the drive is easily disconnected by raising
the drill to its transport height.
Working Principle
The gearbox, pegged seed rollers and seeder flaps are
set to give the desired seed rate. The coil tine and T-
boot, create the seed bed. Seed flows down the flexible
tubes between seeder and tee-boot units, and drops into
the prepared seed bed.
