Features
Front spiked rollers
The GS11 Series Overseeder has spiked front rollers. When the front rollers are straight, the large front pins will penetrate the soil in a straight pushing action and little disturbance is caused to the turf. Angle the front roller for more aggressive tearing action.
Three seed box options
The GS11 Series Overseeder has three seed boxes that can be used for cool season, warm season, and legumes, letting operators plant anything from rye and oats to prairie grasses, wild flowers, radishes, and soybeans.
Calibration tray
Calibration tray system is used to assist in adjusting the seed cups for the desired seeding rate. The calibration tray can be used with the overseeder in the stationary position or pulled over a short distance to the seedbed.
Front disc
The front disc option on the GS11 Series Overseeder can be used to prepare a seedbed without the need for a separate disc or tillage tool used ahead of time.
Rear drive roller
The rear drive roller firms and presses soil kicked up by the front tillage tool. This creates a uniform seedbed with loose soil necessary for ensuring proper seed germination.
Scraper bar
The optional scraper bar on the GS11 Series Overseeder is ideal for clay or wet conditions.
Rear cultipacker
The GS11 Series Overseeder has rear cultipacker rings that compact and level the turf to ensure successful germination.
