     The Drum is the heart of the seeder unit.
  • Seed pins extend through the drum skin and push the seed off at the exact moment that it is to enter the ground. 
  • The pins also clean the holes every drum revolution so that the seeds are distributed consistently and evenly.

The computer that controls the seeder is an industrial quality, all-weather, heavy-duty device that senses the tractor speed and the drum turn rate and adjusts this relationship to control the spacing of the seeds.
