 This
seeder plants turf grasses, wildflowers or forbs,
native grasses, introduced grasses, legumes, and cover
crops.
The
Trillion-Broadcast Seeder meets the challenge for
shallow seed placement on a prepared seedbed by combining
the Truax seed box design with Brillion® cultipacker
rollers.
The
Trillion and the Pull Broadcaster are the most forgiving
planters for handling hand picked or combine run seed
mixes in that neither have seed hoses or boots to
plug when the fluffy seeds are metered from the boxes.
The
result is a broadcast seeding, eliminating the row
effect, on a prepared seedbed planted at a shallow
depth.
| 
|
Trillion
seed boxes utilize the standard Truax design
to handle a variety of seed types... |
| 
|
- A
small seed box for smaller flowable seeds,
such as Alfalfa, Clover, Switch Grass.
- A
fluffy seed box with an auger/agitator and
picker wheels for non-flowable seeds, such
as fluffy, chaffy seed, Bluestems, Blue Grama,
Indiangrass.
- A
cool season seed box for larger flowable seeds,
such as Oats, Wheat, Peas, Soybeans.
- Row
dividers in the small seed and fluffy seed
boxes keep seed distributed across the machine.
- Row
dividers can be added to the cool season box
as an option.
- A
derailleur style speed changer controls seed
output from the fluffy seed box.
- Separate
slide levers on the small seed and cool season
boxes set the openings for seed flow to the
fluted seed metering cups.
- Seed
output from each seed box is calibrated independent
from the other boxes.

Baffles
direct seed as a broadcast seeding between the
cultipacker rollers. |
- The
leading roller crushes clods, removes air pockets,
and presses down small stones forming a smooth,
firm seedbed in front of seed drop.
- The
second cultipacker roller splits the shallow ridges
formed by the front roller, gently firming the soil
around the seeds, ensuring shallow seed placement
and excellent seed-to-soil contact.
- These
notched rollers create little pockets on the soil
surface to trap moisture. Seeds are placed in the
top 1/4" -1/2" of soil for rapid germination
and seedling development.
|
|

Trillion is available in three seeding widths;
5 feet, 8 feet, or 10 feet. |
