Description of the small seeders
2023. December 19.In the last few years in Hungary, mainly due to the requirements of the AKG programme, more and more people have started to use green manure technology.
The main advantage of cultivated crops is that they contribute greatly to increasing the organic matter content of soil and land.
However, this has required and continues to require specialised machinery such as small seed spreaders.
Conventional seed drills are less effective.
In the following article we describe the small seed drills.
It will show what types they are and what they can be used for.
Use of agricultural machinery for small seeds
Although the sowing of green grass could easily be done with conventional seed drills, more and more people are opting for the use of stubble cultivation and sowing in combination with other soil work to reduce costs.
APV pneumatic small seeders are versatile tools.
Available in a range of sizes, they include 200, 300, 500 and even 800 litre hopper sizes.
In addition to the electric feeder, in some cases hydrostatic drive is also available.
Regardless of the manufacturer, they can be fitted to almost all machines, seed drills or cultivation equipment.
The other popular type is the Fliegl small seed spreader, which is suitable for intercrops, manure, micro granules, grasses, pellet seeds and silage.
The spreading width of the 12 V motor version can be adjusted between 2 and 24 metres.
The machine can save any farmer time and money.
The 90-litre hopper allows efficient working, not to mention the fact that control panel operation can even be done on the go.
Fliegl’s spreader has an electrically driven spreading disc with adjustable spreading spoons.
And the powder-coated frame makes the unit durable and robust, with a 3m power cable and 6m tool cable.
Small seed spreader for green manure sowing
In addition to soil machinery, the above-mentioned equipment is therefore becoming increasingly popular.
However, sowing green manure crops means extra subsidies, not to mention a long-term positive impact on soil life, which can bring huge benefits to the kitchen over time. 
However, economical green manure seeding can only be done with machines that are specially designed for small seeds.
A single pass task of hoeing or tilling is not only cost-effective, but can also save a lot of time, which is not a bad thing in the current changing weather conditions.
Small seed spreaders can be quickly switched between machine types, but importantly, the simple to fit equipment can be easily removed from the machine when not in use.
It is not therefore necessary to expose it to the risk of injury every time you work outside.
The main advantages of chopper seeders
Agricultural machines for spreading small seeds, such as seed drills, offer various advantages in production.
In addition to being very precise, they are able to spread the seeds evenly without using excess.
This increases the uniformity of the crops grown and also reduces overcrowding and problems caused by shortages.
Not to mention the fact that precise spraying techniques minimise seed wastage, as the machines optimise the distribution of seeds across the crop area.
Precision equipment can thus make production more economical, minimising the generation of surpluses and maximising the efficiency of natural resources.
These agricultural machines adapt to different crops and growing areas, so farmers can easily switch between crops.
Adapting to changing agricultural conditions is not easy, but with small seed spreaders this problem can be eliminated.
Last but not least, modern tools make sowing quick and efficient, and incorporate technologies that can help farmers make better decisions.
These include GPS and data analysis, which help to develop more efficient and economical farming practices.
