SEED PLACEMENT SYSTEM FOR USE IN A SEEDING MACHINE

摘要

A seeding machine including atleast one seed metering system and atleas t one seed placement system. Each seed placement system is in communication wi th corresponding seed metering system. Each seed placement system including a housing having a seed slide, and a wheel atleast partly disposed within the housing. The wheel has a circumferential periphery with a plurality of contiguous dis c joint surfaces. The periphery is positioned adjacent to atleast part of the seed slide. The invention comprises, in another form thereof, a method of placing seeds with a seeding machine in a trench formed in soil. Seeds are received at a predetermined rate at a seed placement system. The seed placement system includes a seed slide, and a wheel having a conferential periphery position closely adjacent to atleast part of the seed slide. The seeds are engaged at the predetermined rate against the wheel periphery. The seeds are carried past a closely adjacent area of the seed slide using the wheel periphery. The seeds are released from the wheel periphery.
