Exploring the Seed Drill Under-carriage

let's talk about the undercarriage let's talk about what we have here okay so this wheel helps to guide this wheel right here rolls along the ground and turns a shaft and that shaft goes up through here and turns everything that's moving in this machine and it also turns an hour meter so right there is well it's not an hour meter it's an acre meter right there it'll tell you ninety-eight revs per acre pretty cool and all these little chains and doodads I'm not going to go into total detail but when it's moving it's moving everything on here is moving these tubes are what the seeds fall through and they fall down through these tubes and they fall down through these tubes it's pretty cool this whole thing has a suspension setup so it goes up and down and follows the con tour of the land so you take these blades right here and they're rubbing each other they're spinning freely they're rubbing each other and on the backside they're open we'll take you around and show you that but they open up the land they drop the seed in and then this little wheel right here comes in and mashes it down so that's a no-till drill and there's the backside okay that's what you see on the backside so it opens the soil drops the seed and then this little wheel presses it down
