Multi Crop Planter

Animal drawn 3-row planter is a multi-crop planter for planting of bold and small seeds. The planter is also suitable for sowing of inter-crops as different seeds can be filled in different boxes. The planter consists of a frame with tool bar, modular seed boxes, furrow openers and ground wheel. It has three independent seed boxes with inclined plate type seed metering mechanism. Seed plates for sowing different seeds can be selected and changed easily. The plate thickness, number and size of cells on seed plate vary according to seed size and desired plant-to-plant spacing. Shoe type furrow openers ensure deeper seed placement in moist zone for sowing under dryland condition. Modular seed box-furrow opener units are adjustable for sowing seeds at different row-to-row spacing. Drive to seed metering mechanism is transmitted from ground wheel through chain and sprockets. Ground wheel and power transmission system are fixed on the main frame.
