IMPRINTERS
(Optional):
The establishment of surface sown range species
such as Wyoming big sage has improved with the
introduction of the Truax Imprinter. This attachment
when used with the Truax Roughrider broadcasts
seed onto the surface, in an 8" band and
then presses it into the surface with Brillion
style rollers that are 8" in width. The critical
seed to soil contact is achieved with minimal
soil surface disturbance. This option is available
only for the Roughrider. |
