Rugged and reliable ground drive
Single Seed Placement with the ONLY All Metal Metering System on the Market!
The Wobble Slot ductile cast seed cup gives precise seed placement. The Wobble Slot is bored and machine faced with a sintered metal rotor of bronze alloy construction (no plastic parts). Precision processed rotor is adjusted by moving the shaft at one point on each drill box, with infinite spacing from 0 to ¾" for varying seed sizes, weights and rates. No feed gates to adjust—no special tools required. The smooth spiral action admits seeds into the chute for uniform planting. No rough cogs to damage fragile seeds.
