Agriseeder™
The Flexible Seed Drill
Why choose the Agriseeder™?
The Agriseeder direct drill enables farmers to establish crops with minimal soil disturbance compared to traditional inversion methods. It is an extremely efficient and cost-effective way to put crop in the ground, allowing the farmer to grow crops which can improve the soil and keep the land productive all year round.
From it’s beginnings as purely a grass drill in 2014, the Agriseeder has evolved and developed into a well-established, multifunctional drill, capable of sowing practically any crop and delivering results in the widest range of conditions compared to similar machines on the market.
The primary innovative step was a much better depth control system (auto contour) for controlling depth on undulating terrain. We have now also developed our own metering, a secondary hopper – for combinations of two or more products, added different harrows and rollers and added folding versions to the range, with our own E Drive system. The additions of harrows have evolved the drill into a more flexible machine capable of both slot and scratch seeding. It is now so much more than a slot seeder.
Our product development will never stand still and we are always driving forward.

Auto Contour
With autocontour, a unique feature of the Erth Engineering Agriseeder, a secondary suspension system is incorporated to increase flexibility. The drill frames are partitioned into eight-coulter sections and the download to each is applied by a hydraulic ram. The rams are linked to each other so download per frame equalises despite undulations. This is seen by changing ram position as the machine goes down the field and is proven by the consistency of the cuts. Although autocontour was developed to help achieve better seeding depth over undulating conditions it does so much more.
The autocontour rams can be used to give hydraulic depth adjustment on the move.
- Reduced loadings improve reliability of all parts – bearings, rubbers, everything has an easier time.
- The flexibility of the Agriseeder with more even loading per coulter allows the machine to work in hard/dry and wet/soft conditions.
Drill Bottom End
The single disk on the Agriseeder works at a pronounced angle reducing pressure on the seed coulter and enabling good finish. The slot effectively opens up to form a small band and the flexing of the soil produces tilth to provide a better environment for the young seedling to establish and flourish.
