Spreaders, Sprayers & SeedZ-Seed Walk-Behind Slicer Seeder From Z Turf Equipment

With its tough, easy to use design and proven results, the 20″ Z-Seed efficiently performs three jobs with each pass – verticutting, dethatching, and overseeding – and the infinitely variable hydrostatic drive with powered reverse makes it incredibly easy to operate. The high-carbon blades effectively dethatch existing turf and deliver maximum seed-to-soil contact for superior seed germination and ultimately, better results. A large-diameter mixer regulates seed flow based on ground speed for efficient seed delivery at any speed, and a large 40-pound seed hopper maximizes runtime between fill-ups to handle large jobs.
