Simple Seed Inoculator Mounts on Any Hopper AUGERS Augers (29B) 22-6-4 There are some complicated and expensive seed inoculators on the market. Eldon Nuttall didn't like any of them so he designed a simple new unit that mounts on any auger hopper so you can treat seed as you fill your planter or air seeder.
Nuttall Mfg.'s inoculator consists of a poly cylinder that clamps onto the end of the auger. It comes with a constant speed motor that plugs into any 12-volt supply, such as a truck battery. An agitator mounted inside the cylinder keeps the product moving. It consists of a spring-loaded wire that revolves on a steel shaft at the center of the cylinder. There are two controls - an on-off switch and a dial that regulates the speed of the motor, allowing you to control the application rate.
"You simply pour inoculant into the cylinder, open the truck endgate, and turn on the switch," says Nuttall. "The cylinder holds one bag of inoculant at a time which is enough to treat 20 to 40 bu. of seed. Powder inoculant is a very difficult product to handle, but the agitator eliminates any plugging problems." Sells for $450 (Canadian) plus S&H.
