Super Seeder

A super seeder is an important farm implement for farmers engaged in large-scale farming. It helps them to cut the paddy stubble and plant the seeds at the same time.

What is a Super Seeder?

A super seeder is a type of farm implement that features rotating blades to cut and mix the paddy stubble into the soil and a seed box that drills the next crop at the same time. It does both jobs in one pass. You run over the field once, and the sowing is done.

How Does a Super Seeder Work?

The super seeder works in a simple line of steps behind the tractor:

• The rotavating blades cut and mix the standing paddy straw in the topsoil.
• The seed metering box releases wheat or any other seeds at a predetermined rate.
• The seeds are deposited in the grooves opened immediately after the blades.
• The press wheels compress the soil above the seeds to provide better seed-soil contact.

Super Seeder vs Happy Seeder vs Zero Till Drill

A super seeder, a happy seeder, and zero-till drill are not the same things. All three are different. 

• Happy Seeder: sows into straw but does not mix it. Cheaper. Needs the straw chopped first. 
• Zero Till Drill: drills seed straight into untilled soil. No residue handling. Cheapest of the lot.
• Super Seeder: chops, mixes, and sows in one go. Best straw handling. The cost ranges from ₹2 lakh to ₹3.15 lakh.
• Turbo Seeder: similar to Happy Seeder, made for heavy residue. Mid-range price.

If your fields carry heavy paddy straw and you want clean sowing, the super seeder is the strongest pick.

Super Seeder Buying Guide

Here is how you can end up buying the best super seeder in India. Things to Check Before You Buy

• Soil type: Heavy clay needs more HP and a stronger rotor than light loam.
• Straw load: Heavy paddy residue calls for a heavy-duty model that won't choke or clog.
• Field size: 5 to 15 acres suits a 7 ft, while larger farms get more done with an 8 or 9 ft.

Tractor HP Requirements for Super Seeder

The right HP depends on the width of the machine. 

• 6 ft model: 45 to 50 HP
• 7 ft model: 50 to 60 HP
• 8 ft model: 60 to 70 HP
• 9 ft model: 65 to 75 HP

Always use a tractor with a double clutch. A 4WD tractor with a creeper gear works best in heavy straw.
