Description
The
Assisted Feed
Planter allows a rider to assure that plots are planted with no skips
or doubles. It uses a carousel to deliver the seed pieces to the seed
chute. The mechanism, similar to the well-known but obsolete "Iron Age"
planter used extensively across the United States, has been designed to
ease maintenance. The planter can be built either as a completely
manual feed or with an automatic feed hopper. This planter can be used
for flower bulbs as well as large seeded plants like some pumpkins or
trees.
