Introduction
Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners. This Overseeder has been designed
with care and built by skilled workers using quality
materials. Proper assembly, maintenance, and safe
operating practices will help you get years of satisfactory
use from this machine.
Application
The Land Pride OS1548 and OS1572 Overseeders are a
highly versatile and well engineered seed planting
systems designed to open up the soil or turf surface,
precisely meter out seed, and then press the seed into
full soil contact. They may be used for either
over-seeding or primary seeding applications. Their
versatility and precision seeding capabilities make them
an excellent choice for applications in wild game food
plots, hunting clubs, resorts, golf courses, sports turf,
ranches, turf farms, game preserves, landscaping,
professional turf maintenance, and municipalities.
The opening or slitting action is achieved by employing
power take-off powered to a four or six foot wide rotary
vertically driven knives on either 2 inch or 3 inch centers.
Depth control of the slitter knives is achieved by either:
1. End-mounted adjustable gauge wheels
2. Front mounted anti-scalping roller attachment
3. Positive height control of the tractors 3-point hitch
draft-links.
Seed distribution and placement is accomplished by
utilization of high capacity water-tight seedboxes with
agitators and seed cups with powdered metal flutes. The
agitators deliver seed to the seed cups which in turn
dispense seed into clear vinyl transfer tubes attached to
an evenly spaced seed distribution manifold. The
distribution manifold uniformly and evenly spreads the
seed across the working profile of the seeder. Actual rate
and metering control is accomplished by either an end
mounted gauge wheels drive or by a rear roller seedbox
drive mechanism. Units equipped with the rear roller
drive will be able to achieve a higher germination rate
since this drive also serves as a roller-compactor to help
achieve maximum seed to soil contact.
An optional spring-tine harrow is available to enhance
seed to soil contact. Also, a precision Slit-seeding
attachment is available to deliver seed directly into the
slits created by the rotary knives. This slit seeder
attachment is not compatible with the spring-tine harrow
attachment.
For additional information and performance enhancing
options, see "Specifications & Capacities" on page 56
and "Features & Benefits" on page 59.
