seeder box on a disc?

[saltbranch]

Saw a guy using this setup yesterday. Cross cut disc with seeder box mounted in middle between the gangs. Has anyone built one of these here Or used a setup like this?

this is some what the same Idea, a land imprinter and seeder

I used to make something like the disk a few years ago for deer hunters. I would go to the auctions and buy a a few tandem disks at each one. I used to buy these little 12 volt atv fertilizer spreaders. I mounted it up overh the 3 point and had a tin box around it the width of the disk. The spreader would sen out the the seed and let it hit the box and fall straight down for the disk to cut in.

A few years ago, when Woods first started marketing a 3-point disc, they had a disc/seeder/drag unit at the National Farm Machinery Show. It used a 12v Herd seeder mounted on a 7' 3-point disc, with a tine attachment mounted on the rear. It was intended to use planting native grass/wildlife food plots. I am unable to find any link to Woods that shows the set-up they offered. Maybe it wasn't an item they sold, just an example of what you could do with their disc.....

We have an old seeder that about the only left on it savagable is the seeder box and auger. Make it to mount on the disc and plant grass seed would be the goal. have the seed drop between the gangs and rear gang cut it in/cover...think it would work?
Thinking use a 12 volt motor to turn the seed auger...what kind of RPM do you want the auger to turn?

is this it?

That's not the one I saw at the NFMS, but it would work! What I saw was a standard 3-point hitch tandem disc w/a Herd rotary seeder on top, and a tine bar (very similar) to what you show attached to the rear of the disc.

you can put a broadcaster on a disc easy enough

My Father in law had two different seeder setup mounted on discs.

The 1st was a normal grain drill seed box mounted on top a disc and drop the seed 1/2 way between the to disc gangs.

The 2nd was a Gandy air seeder mounted on a 28' disc. On this unit the seed tubes set to drop the seed by the rear disc blades.

He would use them to plant soybean right after harvesting winter wheat. It's kind of a minim till system.

With a smaller 3pt disc I'd bet it would be hard to get the depth of the seed consistent unless the ground was flat.

How did that work? The 1 st one. I would be using for grass seed and maybe oates on flat land, sandy laom soil.

I only saw that setup a couple of times, but this is what I remember. The seed box was mounted on the disc but just behind the front disc gang. The ground drive for the seed box was a wheel mounted on the outside of the disc frame and a chain ran up to the seed box. I would assume that the drive was just a longer version of what the seed box had before it was mounted on top the disc. The seed box had longer drop tubes to ensure the seed didn't get blown around while it was dropping. This disc was about 18' wide it had little wings that folded up with spring assist before the seed box was mounted which prevented it from folding any more.

Thats all I recall of that setup.
