Truax Seed Slinger
I purchased an ATV mounted Seed Slinger recently for dormant seeding fluffy NWSG seed and put it to the test the other day and it worked flawlessly.
It handled the fluffy, (nearly impossible to sow by other broadcasting methods) seed with ease, note it has a separate seed compartment for small hard, seeds like switchgrass, wildflowers, clover etc.
Price is roughly $560 but it appears well built and easy to mount/remove from the ATV
Because the seed is like spreading "dandelion fluff" it doesn't spread far with perhaps a 4' wide path but I ran about 8-10 mph and quickly covered a lot of acres.
The ATV option allows one to get into wet, boggy fields, small hard to reach places, gives the landowner the option of doing the seeding themselves without investing in a $10,000 drill or hiring someone to do it.
It is of course just an option that may or may not be right for you...but I am happy with this one so far....
Call Truax to order....
