What happens here

The presenter demonstrates the core functionality of the seeder. Seeds are loaded into a large hopper, estimated to hold about 100 pounds. Inside the hopper, an agitator bar with small pins rotates, stirring the seeds and guiding them into multiple holes along the bottom. These seeds then drop through individual tubes into the ground. Underneath, a series of discs creates furrows, while a tiller-like mechanism with star-shaped blades stirs the soil, ensuring proper seed-to-soil contact crucial for germination. A rear roller then presses the seeds into the soil for optimal establishment. This design is highly effective for broadcasting native seeds and establishing diverse food plots for wildlife.

Goal: The seeder's operation is demonstrated, showing how seeds are agitated in the hopper, dropped through tubes, and planted into soil prepared by discs and a tiller, then pressed by a roller.

good there I think the machine runs fine I was told basically you have a hopper right here this basically will probably hold I don't know maybe a hundred pounds of grass seeds something like that and we're planning on using it for planting our deer food plots and for this late summer basically the seed goes into the hopper this little thing rotates around turning and stares the seed and they drop into these holes now they go from those holes down into this little gear and there's a gear right there that spins and drops it into this tube this tube drops it down and you can see right down at the bottom of that red tube it drops it down there and then the disc disc the ground up so the tube falls on the ground now there's something interesting on the front of this thing so we fired up the tractor so I could show you underneath underneath here it looks like a little tiller it's kind of a little tiller underneath so that'll stir the soil up this is a roller this is a little rototiller and then that is the disc and those are the tubes that the seeds drop out pretty cool gentle
