Most farmers know what a super seeder does: it sows wheat straight into paddy stubble in one pass, without burning. Fewer know what each part of the machine actually does. And when something goes wrong in the field, knowing the parts is what lets you find the problem fast.
So in this article we take a guided tour of the Rattan Super Seeder, part by part. Use the numbers on the photo below to follow along.
Holds the wheat seed for the whole run. It sits along the top of the machine, across the full working width.
Seed is measured out from the box and dropped down the tubes into the soil. The seed rate is adjustable, so you control how much seed goes in.
The strong frame at the front connects the machine to your tractor’s three-point linkage. The PTO shaft that powers the rotor joins here too.
The heart of the machine. The rotor spins, and its heavy-duty tines cut the paddy stubble and mix the straw into the top layer of soil.
The round discs at the sides cut through straw and soil at the edges of the working width, helping the machine run cleanly through stubble.
The spiked wheel runs on the ground as you drive. On most super seeders, a wheel like this drives the seed metering, so seed is dropped in step with ground speed.
Protects the drive on the side of the machine that turns the rotor, keeping it safe from straw and mud.
How the parts work together
The tractor’s PTO spins the rotor. Its tines cut the stubble and mix the straw into the soil. At the same time, the machine meters wheat seed from the box and drops it through the tubes into the freshly worked soil. The field goes from harvested paddy to sown wheat in one trip.
