This product is designed and produced in New Zealand and is sold in the UK by Logic. The Seed Spider Roller Seeder is an established top end planter, designed for sowing high density crops such as baby leaf salad, spinach and baby carrots. It is fitted with a front and rear bed roller with three rows of staggered soil openers mounted in between. The front roller levels the seed bed while the rear roller covers the placed seed with soil.

‘Baby Leaf’ crop applications

The Roller Seeder is superb for growers needing to plant row crops in high densities. The seeding rate is controlled electronically, giving increased control and accuracy. The patented Seed Spider seed metering system is noticeably more accurate over a wider range of seed types than virtually all of the existing equipment on the world market.

Product features

The seed metering system is modular. Each metering system can meter seed for 1-6 rows, for example, a 36 row seed drill would be fitted with 6 metering systems, each delivering seed to 6 outlets. All metering systems on each Roller Seeder are controlled by one electronic controller. The type of seed in each seed hopper can be easily changed within 60 seconds. Seed Spider Roller Seeders have a full width bed roller front and rear, with three rows of soil openers mounted in between. The front roller levels the bed while the rear roller covers the placed seed with soil and leaves the bed top flat, suitable for mechanical harvesting. Both rollers can be filled with ballast water to suit a wide range of different soil types and sowing conditions. Roller Seeder soil openers are made of cast stainless steel. Each soil opener is an individual assembly attached to the toolbar by means of a specially designed clamp. Soil openers can be fitted or removed in seconds.

Seed Spider soil openers are unique. They form a very fine ‘V’ shaped slot in the soil for the seed. Soil from one row does not fall onto the neighbouring row, as is the case with most other high density seeders. Seed Spider Roller Seeders allow for infinite adjustment of row spacing across three individual toolbars, for exceptional versatility. The revolutionary soil opener attachment system lets you set row spacing precisely to suit the crop. Soil openers can be fitted or removed in seconds. A single lever sets the sowing depth of all soil openers at once (from 0-40mm / 0-1.6 inches).
