A single machine plants turf grasses, wildflowers or forbs, native grasses, introduced grasses, legumes, and cover crops.
The Trillion-Broadcast Seeder meets the challenge for shallow seed placement on a prepared seedbed by combining the Truax seed box design with Brillion® cultipacker rollers.
The result is a broadcast seeding, eliminating the row effect, on a prepared seedbed planted at a shallow depth.
Trillion seed boxes utilize the standard Truax design to handle a variety of seed types...
A small seed box in front for legumes or other small, smooth, slick seed types
A fluffy seed box in the middle with an auger/agitator and picker wheels for those hard to seed fluffy seeds.
A cool season seed box in the back for some grass species or cover crops.
Row dividers in the small seed and fluffy seed boxes keep seed distributed across the machine.
Row dividers can be added to the cool season box as an option.
A derailleur style speed changer controls seed output from the fluffy seed box.
Separate slide levers on the small seed and cool season boxes set the openings for seed flow to the fluted seed metering cups.
Seed output from each seed box is calibrated independent from the other boxes.
Baffles direct seed as a broadcast seeding between the cultipacker rollers.
The leading roller crushes clods, removes air pockets, and presses down small stones forming a smooth, firm seedbed in front of seed drop.
The second cultipacker roller splits the shallow ridges formed by the front roller, gently firming the soil around the seeds, ensuring shallow seed placement and excellent seed-to-soil contact.
These notched rollers create little pockets on the soil surface to trap moisture. Seeds are placed in the top 1/4" -1/2" of soil for rapid germination and seedling development.
The Trillion is available in three seeding widths; 5 feet, 8 feet, or 10 feet.
The 5 foot model is available only for 3-point hook-up.
The 8 foot model is available for either 3-point hook-up or with transport wheels.
The 10 foot model is available only with transport wheels.
All models transfer the weight of the seeding unit to the cultipacker rollers for improved soil firming.
