Versatility has to be the Agriseeder’s biggest strength, because, although it’s billed as a grass reseeding drill, it is actually capable of sowing a much broader range of crops, including two different seed tyes. Even though this is the first time we've taken a detailed look at Erth Engineering’s seeder, this is its second proper incarnation, with the first machines launched way back in 2013 and the revised range then appearing in 2018.
There is a variation in the coulter count and row distance: the 2.5m model has 24 rows on a 104mm spacing, whereas the hydraulic folding 4.0m wide model gets 32 rows and a 125mm spacing. Yet it’s the 3.0m drill that has proved to be the bread winner, and its rigid frame can be fitted with either 24 rows (125mm) or 32 rows (94mm). The latter is squarelypenetration without additional ballast in really dry conditions mean the 24-row is the favourite. And it’s the 24-row model that we used to stitch a fresh grass mix into week-old silage stubble.
