Extreme Blower Seeder

[SD51555]

Resurrecting an old thread as I finally got a chance to use an extreme blower attachment for my blower (Ego). I was very impressed to the say the least. I used it in place of my solo chest mounted spreader to sow my clover, chicory, radish, rape (small seed) blend. I would estimate that I reduced the seeding time by close to 80%. With the Solo I had adjust the seeding rate very low and walk a grid pattern multiple times to get an even seeding rate and even then it was challenging to get right. Some of my plots are over an acre in size so it is very difficult to evenly seed it when using small seed and a chest spreader.
The extreme blower allows me to cover a much larger swath and just seems to have a great "natural" dispersal rate. I did take the strap off my solo spreader and put it through the handle of the blower that made it much easier to handle. Additionally, its ability to over seed into standing grain crops is somewhat obvious. Very impressed overall.

Let me be clear, I did not invent the blower seeder, and I do not own the company or have any business interests of any kind related to it.

Ok, that blower is the tool. It's the bridge tool for the guy too big for disposable plastic spreaders and too small for $50,000 plotting fleets. Most small seed rates are grossly inflated. With that blower, you can truly get down to 1 lb/ac on something and get perfect distribution. When I started cutting way back on certain seeding rates, my plots finally started performing better.

The blower is among my greatest failures of sharing the good news. The other is gypsum.
