Double the Impact: Great Plains Turbo-Seeder® Makes Every Pass Count

In today’s farming world, efficiency isn’t optional—it’s essential. With tighter planting windows and a growing focus on sustainable practices like cover cropping, farmers are turning to tools that help them do more in fewer passes. The Great Plains Turbo-Seeder® is just that kind of tool—a high-performance seeding attachment designed to pair with your tillage implement and turn every pass into a planting opportunity.

What is the Turbo-Seeder?

The Great Plains Turbo-Seeder® is an optional seeding system that mounts onto Turbo-Max® or other Great Plains vertical tillage tools. It’s specifically designed to plant cover crops or small grains while you're managing residue or prepping your seedbed—saving time, fuel, and labor.

By combining tillage and seeding in a single pass, the Turbo-Seeder helps improve soil health, reduce erosion, and support sustainable farming practices without sacrificing productivity.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Dual 12-Volt Electric Fans

These high-capacity fans ensure even distribution of seed across the full width of the implement. Whether you're planting rye, clover, radishes, or other cover crops, the Turbo-Seeder delivers uniform coverage.

2. Precision Metering System

The system uses a crimped seed cup metering system that allows for accurate seed rates across a wide range of seed sizes—from fine brassicas to larger legumes or grasses.

3. Adjustable Drop Tubes

Seed is delivered through drop tubes behind each tillage gang or blade, ensuring consistent placement and excellent seed-to-soil contact. It’s a simple but effective system that works even in heavy residue.

4. Large-Capacity Hopper

Available in 300L or 750L hopper sizes, the Turbo-Seeder keeps you in the field longer, reducing downtime for refills—perfect for larger operations or long days.

5. Easy Calibration & Control

With in-cab rate adjustment, you can dial in seed rates on the go, improving accuracy and reducing waste. Optional ISOBUS control systems are available for even greater integration.

Why It Matters

• Saves Time & Fuel: Combine tillage and seeding in a single pass.

• Boosts Soil Health: Quick and effective cover cropping improves moisture retention and organic matter.

• Reduces Erosion: Ground cover between seasons protects soil from wind and water erosion.

• Flexible Seeding: Ideal for a wide range of cover crops and small grains.

Real-World Impact

From conservation-minded farmers to large-scale operations seeking better efficiency, the Turbo-Seeder is making a big impact. It's particularly popular in no-till and reduced-till systems where residue management and soil health go hand-in-hand.

Conclusion:

The Great Plains Turbo-Seeder® isn’t just an add-on—it’s a smart investment for farmers looking to make every pass more productive. By pairing it with your tillage tool, you’re not just working the land—you’re planting the future.
