Quadivator Introduces Mini Planter

Quadivator Introduces Mini Planter ATV'S ATV'S 34-2-3 The extensive line-up of ATV implements and attachments offered by Quadivator, Inc. of Portage La Prairie, Man., now includes a planter/seeder that can be pulled by either a UTV or a small tractor. It can be used to plant almost any crop, including sunflowers, soybean, corn, durum wheat, barley, beans, hard red spring wheat, rye or canola. It depends on which seed discs you purchase. The 6-ft. wide unit comes with 4 individual planter modules and can be expanded to 7 modules, resulting in 8-in. row spacings. Each of the approximately 1/2 bu. seed tanks are corrosion-free poly, and include a sight glass and clean-out door. The planter has a ground-driven seed metering system and a 2-in. ball coupler. It can be raised and lowered from the driver's seat with an optional dash-mounted rocker switch and 12-volt mini-motion actuator package. "The Quadivator planter maintains accurate seeding rates and, thanks to its parallel lift linkage, consistent seed placement depth is ensured. You can quickly and accurately adjust the seed depth from 1 to 4 in.," says sales manager Darin Hubscher. "Pneumatic packer wheels ensure good seed-to-soil contact for optimal germination, and the built-in markers assure even row spacing." The standard unit weighs 565 lbs. and retails for $3,495 (Can.) plus S&H.
