Kubota OS1572 Overseeder Specification

The Kubota OS1572 Overseeder is a robust and efficient piece of agricultural equipment designed for precise overseeding tasks. With a working width of 72 inches, it is suitable for medium to large-scale operations, providing excellent coverage and improved productivity. The overseeder features a heavy-duty frame constructed from high-quality steel, ensuring durability and longevity in various field conditions. Its seed hopper has a substantial capacity to minimize refilling frequency, enhancing operational efficiency. The OS1572 is equipped with a calibrated seed distribution system that ensures uniform seed placement, which is critical for optimal germination and growth.

The machine utilizes a series of sharp, heat-treated blades for slicing through the soil, creating ideal conditions for seed-to-soil contact, which is essential for successful overseeding. These blades are adjustable, allowing operators to customize the depth of the slit according to the specific requirements of the soil and seed type. An adjustable roller follows the blades to press the seeds into the soil, promoting faster germination. The overseeder is compatible with a wide range of tractors, thanks to its standard Category I and II three-point hitch system, making it versatile and easy to integrate into existing farming operations.

Designed with user convenience in mind, the Kubota OS1572 features a straightforward adjustment system for seed rate control, allowing operators to quickly and accurately set the desired seed output. The overseeder is engineered for low maintenance, with easily accessible components that simplify routine servicing and reduce downtime. Its efficient design not only ensures high performance but also contributes to reduced soil compaction, promoting healthier soil structure. The Kubota OS1572 Overseeder stands out as a reliable and efficient solution for farmers seeking to enhance their overseeding processes.
