I'm in need of a seeder to place grass seed. It will be used on prepared soil, as opposed to existing turf. I have access to a powerseeder when I need that. Here's what I'm THINKING about doing! /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
I want to build my own seeder. It would be a 3 point hitch mounted, 6' to 8', with a roller/cultipacker on the rear. That roller would drive a sprocket/chain drive to run a drop spreader to do the actual seeding.
Here's where I need help. I can use 2 or 3 walk-behind drop spreaders to do the seeding. I have a plan to utilize the shaft's where the wheels would normally be to run my chain drive. I need some decent spreaders.
I would like (in a perfect world) /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif, to find spreaders that are around 40" to 48". If that doesn't happen, 30" x 3 would work. They need to be of fair quality, and the bigger the better.
Anyone know a source? Brand names? HELP!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
Yeah, I know, KRAZIE IDEA /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif (but I will make it happen!)
