Drives
DRIVES: Seabrook Seeder Boxes can be provided with various drives.
HYDRAULIC:
For boxes mounted to implements using a tractor with hydraulic capability, a hydraulic drive using the tractor hydraulic oil supply are robust and easy to set up.
A tractor without hydraulic oil flow control will need a hydraulic flow control unit fitted to the seeder.
Boxes are provided with 4 metre hoses and have Pioneer hydraulic couplings
ELECTRIC:
Electric drives for Seeder boxes are available in:
- 24 volts or 12 volts (540w)
- End or Centred Mounted
Commonly for use with dozers, a 24v or 12v electric centre mounted drive is a good option providing protection for the motor and gear box.
Electric drives are provided with a power plug, isolator switch, lid switch and circuit breaker protection.
GROUND DRIVE:
A ground drive is a good option for boxes mounted on implements that have a ground wheel to associate a drive to. This simple drive, as with a drawn unit, are easier to calibrate seeding rates and the seeding rate is maintained with changes in ground speed.
Ground drives are mostly custom built to specifications.
