Super Seeder | Skid Steer Landscape Seeder

Introduction

Boost Germination and Cut Costs with Precision

The Super Seeder is a bidirectional skid steer seeder built to handle all turf and landscape seeds. Grass seed is a very expensive commodity. Notched rollers properly place the grass seed in the top 1/2” of a properly prepared seedbed, resulting in maximum seed germination. Seedbed is left smooth and firm with small stones pressed down. Because this grass seed planter places seed rather than scattering it, seeding rates can be reduced to as little as half the rate a broadcast spreader needs.

Key Features

Everything you need to get the job done right.

Unique Floating Mount

Follows contour of the ground for optimal seeding and soil compaction, most cheaper units have bolt on solid mounts which require constant adjustment

Front Rollers for Seedbed Preparation

Front rollers crush soil lumps, press stones, and cultipack a firm seedbed, improving seed-to-soil contact for better germination.

Versatile Mounting Options

Compatible with both 3-point hitches for tractors and universal skid steer mounting plates, this seeder attachment fits skid steers, compact track loaders and compact tractors without swapping machines.

Notched Rollers for Consistent Seeding

Notched rollers place seeds at a uniform depth of 1/2 inch, so the Super Seeder works like a no-till drill on established ground while still promoting even germination and healthier growth.

Everything You Need to Know About the Super Seeder

How the Super Seeder Works

On rough or compacted ground, run a skid steer soil conditioner first. The Super Seeder then does four jobs in one pass: front rollers crush lumps and prepare the seedbed, the ground-driven meter (0 to 12) releases seed at a consistent rate, notched rollers place it at a uniform 1/2 inch, and rear rollers firm the surface for good seed-to-soil contact. This placement method lets you seed at roughly half the rate broadcasting needs. It runs bidirectionally, and an agitator brake stops the meter automatically when the seeder lifts off the ground.

Seeding Rates, Calibration and Coverage

Seed rate is set by the meter, not driving speed, with a calibration chart printed inside the seed box lid. To calibrate exactly: lift and block the seeder, set the meter, turn the drive axle 48.5 revolutions with a 9/16 inch wrench, weigh the seed collected and multiply by 50 for pounds per acre. A 12/24-tooth combination sprocket doubles the seed rate for heavy overseeding with no extra parts. A built-in acre counter tracks coverage. Using the standard implement coverage formula, a 96 inch machine at 3 to 5 mph covers approximately 2.5 to 4.5 acres per hour.

Super Seeder vs Broadcast Spreader vs No-Till Drill

A broadcast spreader is quick but wasteful, losing seed to birds, wind and rain. A no-till drill cuts seed into established ground but leaves visible slit lines and does not finish the surface. The Super Seeder sits between the two, preparing, placing and firming in one pass, making it the choice for a finished lawn or an overseed where seed needs real soil contact. A tractor cultipacker does similar firming work as a separate step; the Super Seeder does it in the same pass.

72 Inch or 96 Inch: Which Super Seeder Do You Need?

Choose the 72 inch for residential lots, fenced yards and tight access. Choose the 96 inch for open ground like sports fields and large food plots, where fewer passes save time. If undecided, gate access usually matters more than acreage - talk to a Quick Attach specialist to match the machine to your sites. Running a tractor rather than a skid steer?

Super Seeder Landscape Questions

Does the Super Seeder need hydraulics or a PTO?

No. The Super Seeder is entirely ground driven, which means the rollers turning against the soil drive the seed meter as you move. There is nothing to plumb in and no auxiliary hydraulic flow requirement, so it will run on any skid steer, compact track loader or tractor that can physically carry the weight and mount it. That also means the seeding rate stays consistent regardless of engine speed.

How deep does the Super Seeder plant grass seed?

The notched rollers place seed at a uniform depth of up to half an inch into a prepared seedbed. That depth is deliberate: half an inch is deep enough for reliable seed-to-soil contact and shallow enough that turf and landscape seed can reach the surface. Because placement is consistent across the full working width, germination comes up evenly rather than patchy, which is the main advantage over broadcasting seed onto the surface.

How much seed does the Super Seeder use per acre?

That is set by the seed meter rather than by ground speed. The meter adjusts from 0 to 12, where 0 closes the gate completely and 12 opens it fully, and a seed box calibration chart on a decal inside the lid gives starting settings for common seed types. If rate accuracy matters on your job, calibrate directly: lift and block the seeder, set the meter, turn the drive axle through 48.5 revolutions with a 9/16 inch wrench, weigh the seed that drops into the calibration tray and multiply by 50 to get pounds per acre. Because the seed is placed rather than scattered, most operators find they can reduce rates to around half of what a broadcast method needs.

Can the seeding rate be doubled?

Yes, and it needs no extra parts. The drive uses a combination sprocket with a 12-tooth side and a 24-tooth side. Open the chain case, slacken the idler sprocket, remove the chain, flip the combination sprocket so the 24-tooth half goes on first, then retension the chain and tighten. That doubles the seed rate for heavy overseeding, reclamation work or any job where the standard ratio is not enough.

Will the Super Seeder fit my skid steer or tractor?

The Super Seeder mounts on a universal skid steer plate, the standard mounting interface used across the industry, and also carries a Category I or II three-point hitch for tractors. That covers the great majority of skid steers, compact track loaders and compact or utility tractors. The 72 inch model weighs approximately 1,400 pounds and the 96 inch approximately 1,800 pounds. Since a loader's rated operating capacity is set at only 50% of its tipping load under the SAE J818 standard, choose a machine whose rated operating capacity comfortably exceeds the seeder's own weight, rather than one that just barely matches it, so there is real working margin left over.

What is the difference between the Super Seeder and a no-till drill?

A no-till drill is designed to cut a slot straight into established, untilled ground and drop seed into it, which is ideal for pasture and cover crop work but leaves visible slit lines and does nothing to prepare or finish the surface. The Super Seeder prepares the seedbed with front rollers, places seed at half an inch with notched rollers, and firms the surface with rear rollers, all in a single pass. On established turf it behaves much like a drill because the seed is pressed into the soil rather than laid on top, but it also leaves a smooth, finished surface. For a landscape contractor handing over a new lawn, that finish is usually the deciding difference.

Can the Super Seeder be used for overseeding existing turf?

Yes. Because the notched rollers press seed into the top half inch rather than dropping it onto the thatch layer, seed makes contact with actual soil, which is the single biggest factor in whether overseeding takes. The front rollers also break up minor surface irregularities as they pass, and the rear roller closes the surface behind the seed. For thin or worn turf, the seed rate can be doubled using the combination sprocket described above.

What size Super Seeder should I buy, the 72 inch or the 96 inch?

The 72 inch model has an 88 inch overall width, a 5.75 bushel hopper and weighs around 1,400 pounds, which suits residential lots, fenced yards, tight access sites and smaller trailers. The 96 inch has a 112 inch overall width, an 8.0 bushel hopper and weighs around 1,800 pounds, which suits open ground such as sports fields, pasture, solar sites and large food plots where fewer passes and fewer refills save real time. In practice the decision usually comes down to transport and gate access rather than acreage, because the 96 inch will not fit everywhere the 72 inch will.
