SOWING IN CULTIVATED SOILS
As this is a Disc Coulter implement with a direct drill type opener, it is important to
treat all seed beds as you would a pasture. With a conventional drill one works up the
soil into a fine seedbed so that a broad boot type coulter will pass through leaving the
seed behind the soil tilth. With the Seedmatic, cultivate the soil to destroy existing
vegetation but before seeding, roll the seedbed thoroughly and then drill the seeds
required into this rolled seedbed. Good germination results will occur.
We recommend that a chain harrow be towed behind the seed drill or
roll the field after seeding has been completed
