Seed Drill Attachment for Power Tillers and Weeders
The Seed Drill attachment is a highly efficient farming tool that enables precise and uniform sowing of seeds using your existing power tiller or weeder. It saves time, reduces seed wastage, and ensures optimal plant spacing, making it ideal for small to medium farmers aiming to mechanize their seeding process affordably.
What is a Seed Drill Attachment?
A seed drill is a rear-mounted implement that connects to your power tiller and places seeds into the soil at a consistent depth and spacing. It typically includes a hopper for storing seeds, seed metering units, furrow openers, and covering devices to close the soil after sowing. Some advanced versions also support simultaneous fertilizer application (seed-cum-fertilizer drills).

- Higher Germination: Seeds are placed at the correct depth with proper soil coverage, improving sprouting rates.
