R2 Rinaldi Drop Seeder / Spreader

Typical of all the tools we carry from R2 Rinaldi, this is a very well-built implement. This seeder / spreader is designed for seeding lawns, cover-crop, or other full-width dense seeding operations OR it can be used as a drop-spreader of granulated fertilizer or similar material. It features an expanded-mesh roller in the rear, which helps press the seed / fertilizer into the soil a bit and also drives the agitator shaft in the hopper via a no-slippage roller chain. Drop orifices (holes) are fully adjustable in size (via a sliding shutter design) to accommodate a wide variety of seed/material sizes…we tested it with Buckwheat, which is a fairly irregular shape seed, and it performed extremely well. The hole “shutter” also closes quickly to allow transport of the machine without dropping material. It even has an adjustable full-width brush running over the top of the mesh-roller to keep it clean of dirt (which would then pick up seed). Standard Drop hole plate makes seed “rows” about 1.25” apart, and we also offer optional drop-hole plates that make the “rows” further apart: 2.5” or 5”, if less dense plantings are desired. Seeders are available in 29” or 39” widths. Fits all BCS & Grillo walk-behind tractors 8hp (or more) and with 4x10x18” (or larger) wheels and with differential drive.
(**Note:** attaching this seeder to some tractor models may require removal of the tractor PTO shift lever, which comes off with one cotter pin…since this is not a PTO-driven implement, the PTO lever is not needed for this implement anyway.
30" size also available to fit behind the R2 Rinaldi 30" power harrow.

Drop seeder mounted behind R2 Power Harrow

NOTE: when used in conjunction with the harrow, additional front-weight will have to be attached to the engine bumper, as the seeder and harrow combined add a LOT of weight to the rear of the machine. See our Tractor Accessories page for weights.)
