Tined Seeder Ideal For Revitalizing Pastures
With more interest in grass-fed livestock and range management these days, farmers are looking at specialized equipment for seeding, inter-seeding and over-seeding. Guy Machinery, the U.S. distributor of Einböck equipment, says a new 20-ft. Einböck Pneumaticstar is ideal for sowing clover or grass into grain, interseeding or overseeding in a pasture. Working pasture with the spring tines loosens the soil and seed is evenly deposited across the 20-ft. working width via pneumatic tubes.
    The Pneumaticstar has a 300-litre capacity seed tank with a stirring shaft that prevents de-mixing and bridging during field travel. A metal seed roller distributes the seed into 8 outlets where it’s carried pneumatically down pvc hoses mounted to the machine frame. Each outlet has a deflector plate that consistently distributes seed even in windy conditions.
    Einböck says the 8 mm finger-size tines on the Pneumaticstar can be adjusted for aggressiveness with a central lever. Tines are stabilized with a poly holder to increase the vibration effect. Spring coils on the tines are located below the tine holders.
    For operation in rough grassland conditions, spring-loaded front leveling plates and 10 mm tines can be used. The 20-ft. seeder sells for $19,775.
