One Row Air Planter
 |
The self-propelled seeder is gear-driven by an electric motor powered by a 12-volt battery. It's also fitted with a small vacuum fan that sucks seed onto a metering wheel and then blows it through a seed tube to a single furrow opener. The unit is supported by one large transport wheel up front and a press wheel at back that covers the seed.
The planter runs for 4 to 5 hrs. on a single charge. Sells for about $1,500.
