SeedSpider
Starting at $8,421.00
Patented rotating sponge pads gently separate and meter seed without damaging it. Seed rate is controlled by a variable speed electric motor, making adjustments simple. Metering units are available with up to six outlets, and feature quick-release handles for quick and efficient seed changes.
The Seed Spider Metering System is the world's first electronic seed metering system. It's a revolutionary, patented device that accurately meters seed from a bulk hopper to multiple outlets, and is noticeably more accurate over a wider range of seed types than virtually any other seed planter. It's best suited to seeds ranging in size from 20,000 to 800,000 seeds per pound (for example, raw carrot or lettuce seed up to seed the size of a pea).
FEATURES
Seed Spider Metering System
A 12 volt motor drives a sponge rotor within a vertical cylindrical metering plate. This metering plate has multiple channels in its internal wall, along which seeds are gently separated by the rotating sponge and carried to individual outlets. The gentle nature of the sponge ensures seeds are never damaged, and a wide range of seeds can be accurately metered, raw, and coated or pelleted. The speed of the drive motor is controlled electronically.
Metered Seed Outlets with Sponge Rotor
The standard metering system has 6 outlets. Interchangeable metering plates provide options from one to six outlets. The unique patented rotating sponge pad gently separates and meters the seed without damaging it.
Seed Hopper
The 1.8 gallon seed hopper is ideal for most seeding applications and is transparent for convenient seed level monitoring. The seed hoppers have a quick release fitting to allow them to be lifted off for quick and easy emptying.
Encoder Control System
This electronic metering system is extremely reliable and is ideal for most planting situations. Operating Seed Spider does not require high skill levels as compared with competing machines. Seeding rates can be changed with the push of a button. The encoder controller mounts in the tractor cab and provides a user friendly interface for the system. Controller and motor drivers require connection to a 12V power source, but no other connection is necessary for the controller. Encoder motor drivers mount on the planter for convenient connection to the metering units.
Encoder System Features
Encoder controller communicates wirelessly with encoder motor drivers using a bluetooth module. The encoder motor driver contains an internal GPS receiver with fewer wires and connections. The motor RPM monitoring uses automatic synchronization and there is a warning system that alerts when motors are not functioning correctly.
