Introduction
Land Pride welcomes you to the growing family of new
product owners.
This pulverizer seeder has been designed with care and
built by skilled workers using quality materials. Proper
assembly, maintenance, and safe operating practices will
help you get years of satisfactory use from this pulverizer
seeder.
Application
The SPS2048 and SPS3072 Pulverizer Seeders are
designed and built by Land Pride to efficiently do the tasks
of seedbed preparation and precision seeding. Both the
48" model and the 72" models are adapted for Category I
3-point hitch mounting. Seed metering is driven off of the
rear mounted pulverizer roller making the metering rate
directly proportional to forwardground speed and distance
traveled.
Front mounted scarifier shanks open and loosen the soil,
while seed cups drop the seed directly into the cultivated
soil behind the scarifier shanks. The rear pulverizer roller
immediately breaks up unwanted clods, levels the ground,
and presses the seed into firm contact with the soil. When
soil conditions are right, this can often be done in one
highly efficient pass.
The Land Pride SPS2048 and SPS3072 Pulverizer
Seeders are well suited for use by professional
landscapers and rental yards. They have applications on
sod farms, transportation right-of-ways, golf courses, park
systems, athletic fields, construction sites, and housing
developments. See “Features and Benefits”,
“Section 6” for additional information.
