What Is a Tractor Mounted Corn Seeder?

A tractor-mounted corn seeder is an agricultural implement designed to efficiently plant corn seeds in rows across a field. Attached to a tractor via a three-point hitch or drawbar, it leverages the tractor’s power to operate its mechanical components. The seeder typically consists of a sturdy frame, seed hoppers, metering units, furrow openers, and covering devices. The hoppers store the corn seeds, while the metering units precisely dispense them at consistent intervals and depths, ensuring optimal germination. Furrow openers create small trenches in the soil, where seeds are dropped, and covering devices then close the furrows to protect the seeds. This equipment is adjustable to accommodate various row spacings and seed rates, making it a versatile tool for farmers aiming to maximize crop yields with minimal labor. Whether you are a professional farmer or manage a large plantation, choosing our corn planter will greatly enhance your agricultural production.

Structural Components of Corn Planter with Fertilizer

The main structure of the corn planting machine includes a seedbox, a trench opener, a fertilizer box, a fertilizer drainer, and a soil covering and suppression device.

(1) Corn Seedbox: This is a sturdy container mounted on the planter, designed to hold corn seeds before planting. It’s typically made of durable plastic or metal, with a capacity suited to the planter’s size, ensuring a steady seed supply during operation. The seedbox feeds seeds into the discharge system systematically.

(2) Fertilizer Box: Positioned alongside the seedbox, this component stores granular or liquid fertilizer. It’s engineered to withstand corrosive materials, often featuring a hopper design that allows precise delivery to the soil. The fertilizer box works in tandem with the fertilizer discharger for efficient nutrient application.

(3) Seed Discharger: This mechanism controls the release of corn seeds from the seedbox into the soil. It uses a metering system, such as plates or vacuum technology, to ensure accurate seed placement and spacing, optimizing germination rates and reducing waste during planting.

(4) Trench Opener: This component cuts narrow furrows into the soil where seeds and fertilizer are deposited. Typically a disc or blade, it’s adjustable for depth, ensuring proper seed placement based on soil conditions and corn variety, preparing an ideal planting environment.

(5) Closing Wheels: Mounted behind the trench opener, these wheels press soil back over the furrow after seeds and fertilizer are placed. They ensure good seed-to-soil contact, promoting germination, and can be angled or weighted to adapt to varying soil types and moisture levels.

(6) Row Space Regulator: This system adjusts the distance between planting rows, allowing customization based on field conditions or farming practices. It uses mechanical or hydraulic controls to maintain uniform row spacing, enhancing crop management and machinery compatibility during cultivation.

How Does the Corn Seeder Work?

Corn Seeder with Fertilizer

During the seeding operation, the main power of the seeder comes from the rear power take-off shaft of the tractor. Under the traction of the tractor, the opener opens a soil trench for seeding and fertilizing within a preset depth. Due to the action of friction, the ground wheel rolls continuously and drives the seed meter and fertilizer meter to work, discharging seeds and fertilizers into the ditch through different pipelines. And then uses the soil covering device and the suppression device to achieve soil over and compact.

1. Connect the planter’s PTO to the tractor.

2. Fill the seed box and fertilizer box with the necessary corn seeds and fertilizer.

3. Start the tractor to operate the corn planting machine. The planter is equipped with a cover wheel and a press wheel at the rear, ensuring the soil is covered and pressed after sowing and fertilizing.

4. Once all the land has been sown, turn off the tractor and clean the maize planter.

1. Check the machine: The weeds and soil on the machine shall be cleaned before the machine works. And check whether the rotating part is normal.

2. Seed and fertilizer filling: Put the seeds into a transparent container and put the fertilizer into a yellow container. The seeds shall be added at least to cover the inlet of the seed metering box. This can ensure smooth seeding.

3. Trial broadcast in advance: To ensure the sowing quality, we must adhere to trial sowing for 20 meters before large-scale sowing. Observe the operation of the maize planter. After confirming that the seeding requirements are met, large-area seeding can be carried out.

4. Drive in a straight line at a constant speed: When sowing, pay attention to moving forward in a straight line at a constant speed and do not stop at once or stop halfway. This can avoid replay and missed broadcasts.

5. Observe frequently: When planting, you should always observe the work of the seed dispenser, ditcher, mulching device, and transmission mechanism. In case of blockage, clay, the entanglement of grass, loose seed coverage, etc., it shall be removed in time. Repairing, lubricating, or clearing tangled grass must be done after stopping.

How to Choose the Best Corn Seeder Machine?

We should select corn seeder machine according to different operation requirements. At the same time, we also should consider the operation performance, reliability, safety, and adaptability of the machine.

(1) Select a suitable matching planter according to the power of the existing tractor. For example, 36.75 kW, 4-6 rows of maize planting machines should be selected. For 8.82 ~ 13.23 kW, 2 ~ 3 rows of corn seeders shall be selected.

(2) Select different types of seeders according to the height of the wheat stubble. For example, when harvesting wheat with large-scale corn harvesters, the stubble height is generally more than 20 cm. And the high-clearance iron stubble corn seeder machine can be selected. After harvesting by the large-scale combine harvester, if the straw is chopped and returned to the field by the straw chopping and returning machine. Or a combined with a straw-chopping device. At the same time, the straw is chopped and scattered on the ground. The corn seeder with a grass-separating device shall be selected for sowing.

(3) Choose machines produced by regular manufacturers to obtain better quality. This kind of machinery has good working performance and reliable use. It has a good reputation in the market. And the after-sales service is guaranteed.

(4) Special attention should be paid to safety when selecting corn seeder machines. When purchasing the maize planting machine, check whether the transmission part of the maize planter is equipped with a safety shield. Whether there are safety warning signs at dangerous parts. Check whether the seeder has potential danger, whether the fastening bolts are loose, and whether the frame is welded firmly.

How Do You Adjust Corn Seeder Seeding Depth and Row Spacing?

Seeding depth and row spacing can be achieved by adjusting the dials on the planter. To adjust a corn seeder’s seeding depth, locate the depth control mechanism—typically a lever, knob, or gauge on the planter. Set it according to soil conditions and seed type, usually 1.5 to 2 inches deep for corn, ensuring consistent soil contact. For row spacing, adjust the row units or marker arms based on your planter model, commonly set to 30 inches for standard corn planting, though 15-38 inches may suit specific field needs. Always consult your seeder’s manual for precise adjustments.

What Is the Seeding Efficiency of a Maize Planting Machine?

Seeding efficiency in maize planting machines refers to the accuracy and uniformity of seed placement, typically measured as the percentage of seeds sown at the intended depth and spacing. For modern precision planters, like tractor-mounted models with 2 to 8 rows, efficiency often exceeds 90%, depending on factors such as machine calibration, soil conditions, and operator skill. These machines ensure consistent seed distribution, minimizing waste and optimizing germination for higher yields.

Can Maize Planters Be Adapted to Different Types of Soil?

Yes, maize planters can be adapted to different soil types by adjusting seed depth, spacing, and planter attachments. For sandy soils, deeper planting ensures moisture access, while in clay soils, shallower depths prevent compaction issues. Row spacing can be modified for drainage in heavy soils or water retention in loose soils. Additionally, specialized tillage tools or no-till planters can be used to suit soil texture, structure, and organic matter, optimizing germination and yield across diverse conditions.

Why Do Seeds Overlap or Get Missed When Corn Planter Sowing?

When sowing corn with a planter, seeds can overlap or be missed due to several factors. Overlapping often occurs when the planter’s metering system, which controls seed dispensing, malfunctions or is poorly calibrated, causing multiple seeds to drop simultaneously. This can result from worn-out components, inconsistent seed size, or excessive planting speed. Conversely, misses happen when the metering system fails to release a seed, often due to blockages in the seed tube, inadequate vacuum pressure in air planters, or uneven terrain disrupting the planter’s operation. Soil conditions, like clods or debris, can also prevent seeds from reaching their intended depth, leading to skips. Proper maintenance, calibration, and adjustments to match field conditions are key to minimizing these issues.
