Drop Seeder & Spreader

A great implement for home, garden and acreage use. Tow behind your ride on mower, quad bike or other vehicle. Great for spreading seeds and fertilisers around your lawn. Full adjustability for spike height and seed flow gives flexibility for your application. Built by ‘Paddock’ to the high quality and exceptional standards we’ve grown to trust.

‘Paddock’ Tow Behind Drop Seeder & Fertiliser Spreader

• Use to distribute and spread seeds, fertilizers, lime, gypsum, sand
• Integrated spikes to help seeds / fertiliser enter the soil
• Tow behind quad bikes, four wheelers, ATVs and ride on mowers

PLEASE READ!

For soil aeration we recommend our tow behind spike aerator. The spikes on this drop seeder are for creating shallow impressions for the seed or fertiliser to enter. It is not designed for aeration and doesn’t have the down force required like our spike or plug aerators. These are ideal for towing with ride on mowers around back yards and lawns.

‘Paddock’ Spreader Applications

This spreader, aerator combo is designed for home garden, landscaping and small acreage use. It’s 50Kg capacity will give good coverage. Designed to be towed at low speeds behind ride on lawn mowers, quad bikes, ATVs and four wheelers. For larger areas and fast seed or fertiliser distribution we recommend a broadcast seeder.

‘Paddock’ Seed & Fertiliser Spreader Operation

Very simple to use, fill the hopper with your seed, fertiliser or other product. Set the seed flow rate using the handle mounted on the hitch shaft. Set the height of the spikes. Hitch to you mower, ATV, quad bike or other vehicle using the clevis hitch and pin. The unit is un-powered, the turning spikes from being towed spins the internal seed distribution shaft.

Spreader construction

Well constructed to withstand ongoing use on rough terrain and designed to be vibration resistant. The wheels are solid rubber to avoid the possibility of puncture. An oversize axle reduces the chance of bending or failure with heavy loads. The tubular steel frame is light weight yet strong, finished with a black powdercoat. A polyethylene, UV stabilised hopper won’t rust or degrade in the elements.

Attaching to the seeder

The implement utilises a standard style clevis hitch with clevis pin and securing Cotter’s pin. Ideal for use with ride on mowers, ATVs and quad bikes.
