A Tractor-Mounted Seed Sower is an agricultural implement designed to sow seeds efficiently over large areas by attaching directly to a tractor’s hitch system. The device uses a seed metering mechanism to ensure uniform seed spacing and depth, improving crop yield and reducing seed wastage. It is ideal for farmers looking to save time, reduce manual labor, and achieve precise sowing operations.

The sower can be adjusted for different seed types, row spacing, and sowing depth, making it versatile for various crops like wheat, maize, soybean, pulses, and groundnut.

Parts Used:

1. Main Frame – heavy-duty steel structure mounted to the tractor
2. Seed Hopper – stores bulk seeds before sowing
3. Seed Metering Mechanism (Fluted roller / cell wheel / inclined plate) – controls seed flow
4. Seed Tubes – carry seeds from the metering device to the furrow
5. Furrow Openers (shovel/disc/tine) – create a groove in the soil for seed placement
6. Depth Control Wheels – maintain uniform sowing depth
7. Covering Device – covers the seed with soil after placement
8. Power Transmission System (ground wheel or PTO driven) – powers the metering unit
9. Adjustable Linkage – connects to tractor and allows height/angle adjustments
