Default Which seeder?
Does anyone have a preference when it comes to broadcast seeders? I have a small one now, but I need a bigger one that can be pulled through tilled ground well (mine nearly spills). Is there a difference between them?


Also, what kind of seeders has IH made for the GT's? I tried to research it, but didn't find much, however I'm completely sure I've seen one before (drill style, I think).

I use a Scott's brodcast spreader currently. Its a walk behind model. But I have seen pull type ones before in the USA that look great (Scott's name brand). I have yet to find them in Canada though. Thing I like about them is you can set them to the correct setting as per the Scott's fertilizer bag. Straight forward and acurate. I only buy Scott's fertilizer so it works out great. If you buy others...you would have to experiment I guess?

Didn't Brinly make a pull behind spreader? I didn't know of one made by IH?

I think its Old Iron Lindy Merk ??? forgive me if I stated the wrong name, has a neat set up...spike areator with a seed box on top IIRC...that is neat...perhaps you can use it for fertilizer...drop style?

Brinley makes a nice large spreader holds 175 lbs and they make a cub version of it as well. Find one that has nice large tires on it and it's ride better then the little wheeled ones.

Your best bet is to find a drop seeder.. You will get better and more even coverage. I have a Agri-Fab broadcast and it works great for spreading Fert, but seeds not so much.

Agri-Fab, Brinly, both are good, but get the pro or contractor "type" they'll hold up a lot better..


MH, that is the Viking seeder those guys have...would love to find one myself (add it to the list!) but they are VERY rare..

i ended up with a spike aerator that has a seeder/fertilizer on the top towards the back a little so you can at weight to the spike aerator. that thing works slick and holds up great. only about three feet wide though.

Cmatthew...you have any pictures of yours?? Jaybrd, you remember who it was that owned the Viking? Yes, I thought it was really slick...would be neat to find one or fabricate something along that line!

If anyone has one of the Brinly's speak up and maybe post a pic, that has me pretty interested. It's gonna be used to plant foodplots, mostly varieties of clover with sugar beets and turnips mixed in. I need one that's pretty wide and won't tip (as posted above, the large wheels are a must).

As another option you could always build a mounted spreader like the one I built for a salt spreader. I used a cheap pull type Scotts spreader and a cordless drill motor and gearbox. It worked great till the salt and moisture got into the gearbox and fused the gears together. I may try remounting a motor from the top. JD makes a mounted spreader for their garden tractors and the motor is mounted from above.

Now that I like!! Did you run a 12V drill motor and direct wire it??


Thanks for posting the pics.. That should help out a lot when I make mine..

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
