Air Seeder For ATV'S
Getting into corners is easy with this pneumatic seed drill that mounts on back of a 4-wheel ATV. It was designed by Peter Ridley, a student at Rycotewood College, Oxfordshire, England.
The seed hopper mounts on a steel frame that bolts onto the ATV's rear carrier rack. A tillage unit, consisting of 4 or 6 shanks and a light-duty cultivator, bolts onto brackets on the frame. An electric motor powered by the ATV's battery drives a fan which blows seed through hoses that lead to each shank. The planter driveshaft is ground-driven. Works great for planting grass seed, small grains, soybeans, etc. A broadcast fertilizer spreader is being developed for use with the hopper.
