A Couple More Seeders from North America

The Great Plains seeders have been around for a long time. They are sturdy machine and have in the past created a fair amount of disturbance, particularly with coulter attached. For someone still looking to incorporate pre-sowing herbicides like Trifluralin, these would be okay. There are a few already in Australia and have a lot of maintenance.

Whilst driving with Dwayne through South Dakota, we went past a Tor-Master, after reversing we had a good look over the machine. It was a paired row single disc assembly. The size of the disc was close to 500 mls and was relatively thick. All of the frame was good quality and well engineered. Dwayne stated that they worked well and had good penetration.
