DEFINITION OF HYDROSEEDING
Hydroseeding is the process whereby seed, fertilizer and/or lime and wood fiber mulch (using
water as a carrying medium) are applied on the soil to establish vegetation.
THE FINN HYDROSEEDER
®
AND HOW IT WORKS
The FINN T60 HydroSeeder
®
will apply seed, fertilizer and/or lime, wood fiber mulch, or
stabilizing materials in any prescribed or desired combination. The materials placed in the
HydroSeeder
®
slurry tank are mixed with water and kept in suspension by a dual agitation
process, recirculation and mechanical agitation, thus forming a slurry that is pumped to the
discharge assembly and directed onto the seed bed by the operator. This equipment is designed
to accomplish hydroseeding in one easy operation with maximum efficiency.
CARRIER VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS
The trailer-mounted HydroSeeder
®
is to be mounted on a truck or trailer that can carry a payload
of 7,200 lb (3,266 kg). This is the weight of the fully loaded HydroSeeder
®
. Any auxillary loads
due to material storage or optional equipment, as well as the weight of the carrier vehicle must be
added to obtain the proper carrier vehicle capacity.
Once the proper carrier has been selected, the HydroSeeder
®
must be securely mounted to it.
Your FINN HydroSeeder
®
should be mounted by a qualifi ed truck body
installer. Failure to comply could result in minor or moderate personal
