Key Features
More Options to Suit Your Specific Soil Needs
The Equalizer Tine Seeder Bar has been tested and proven in Australian conditions and offers a variety of options to suit your specific soil needs for accurate seed depth and fertiliser placement.
Choosing the right tine knife point for your application is key in achieving the correct soil penetration and disturbance, opening the furrow and accurately placing the fertiliser. Equalizer offer 4 alternative knife points that cater for varying soil conditions.
Liquid fertiliser application behind the knife is also offered as required.
- Short Narrow: maximum depth of 75mm, can imitate disc seeder level of disturbance.
- Narrow 10mm: for minimal soil disturbance.
- 16mm: extra durability in hard, rocky conditions.
- Aerator: for soils prone to compaction and where knife point tends to smear side walls.
Press wheel soil closure is the final important part of the seeding process to firm up the furrow, leave a clean finish and maximise soil to seed contact.
Choosing the correct press wheel is as important as choosing the right tine knife. Press wheels are mounted to a dampened block that allows for slight lateral swing, designed to manage rough surface conditions and assist in prolong parallelogram longevity.
Equalizer offer 2 factory optioned wheels: Narrow 70mm Solid Flat Rounded wheels & Wide 150mm Flat Wedge for sandy/cultivated soils.
The fertiliser and seed placement operate between two semi-independent parts of the tine unit. The granular fertiliser tube is placed behind the knife to protect it from oncoming obstacles and positions the fertiliser below the seed bed at a depth of 150mm for maximum effect.
Liquid fertiliser application is also offered and can be deposited in front of the fertiliser tube or behind the seed boot.
There are two seeding boot options: standard single chute, single banding boot, and the twin chute, paired row boot, 60mm in width.
The strength and durability of the bar comes from the use of Domex steel throughout tine units and a 10mm thick frame.
Large floatation wheels also allows for better straight-line tracking, especially on fields with inclination. Equalizer Tine Seeders, excluding 24m, run on 3m wheel tracks.
Transport is made simple and safe with hydraulic folding wings in either 3 section fold or 5 section fold depending on bar width. Transport width, excluding 24m, is set at 6m wide and a maximum of 5.2m high.
Equalizer Tine Seeder frames have been uniquely and robustly designed to allow for the addition of either 2 or 3 seed tanks, on frame.
Tanks can be used to meter seed, granular product or liquid product. Tank capacities range in either 4500L (2250-2250) or 6150L (2250-1650-2250).
The on-frame tank option is handy for the operator who has tight paddocks and/or requires additional capacity to couple up with their existing cart.
Available as an option, the Equalizer hydraulic coulter system can be used in conjunction with the tine unit for better residue clearance.

Exclusive Feature
Quick Seed Depth Adjustment Clip
One of the most unique features of the Tine Seeder is the exclusive quick seed adjustment clip which allows for finite adjustments in seed depth all at the touch of the spring-loaded clip.
The seed depth adjustment clip has 5 coarse depth adjustments and 4 half adjustments and allows the operator to change the depth quickly and simply with minimal to no tools required. Downward pressure at the press wheel is also easily adjustable to suit soil conditions.
Exclusive Feature
Hydraulic Breakaway on Tine Units
The seeder assembly includes a semi-independent break away on the tines. Tines can clear small obstacles without changing seed depth or press wheel downforce. When a larger obstacle is encountered, the entire tine trips to avoid damage.
The hydraulic cylinder circuit is also equipped with a built-in damper accumulator, this allows for a controlled return of the tine after tripping. Breakout force is user adjustable for optimum performance, as required.
