Minimize soil disturbance with front spiked rollers
Front spiked rollers
The GS10L Series Light-Duty Overseeder features spiked front rollers. When front rollers are set straight, the large front pins will penetrate the soil in a straight pushing action causing little soil and turf disturbance. Angle the front roller for more aggressive tilling action.
Added versatility with two seed box options
Seed boxes
The GS10L Series Light-Duty Overseeder has two seed box options that can be used for cool season and legumes. The cool season seed box lets operators plant anything from rye grass and fescue to orchard grass, while the legume box can be used for seeds such as alfalfa, Bermuda, and clover.
Optimize seeding process with the calibration tray
Calibration tray
A calibration tray system catches seed used to calibrate seed meters and adjusts desired seeding rate. The calibration tray can be used with the overseeder in the stationary position or pulled over a short distance in the seedbed.
Increase efficiency with the front disc
Front disc
The front disc option on the GS10L Series Light-Duty Overseeder can be used to prepare a seedbed, reducing the need for a tillage tool and increasing working efficiency.
Smooth the seedbed with the rear drive roller
Rear drive roller
The rear drive roller doubles as a seed meter chain drive and firms and presses soil kicked up by the front tillage tool. This creates a smooth seedbed all while accurately dispersing seed in proportion to ground speed.
Work in difficult soil conditions using the scraper bar
Optional scraper bar
The optional scraper bar on the GS10L Series Light-Duty Overseeder is ideal for wet or sticky soil conditions.
Improve seed germination with rear cultipacker
Rear cultipacker firms and smooths the turf
The GS10L Series Light-Duty Overseeder has an optional rear cultipacker that levels and breaks soil clods and presses the seed into the soil for improved seed-to-soil contact and increased germination.
