To make quick work of seeding or fertilizing small or large acreage, food plots, or yards, Herd Seeder Company has a variety of products that can get the job done.

Since the 1940s, Herd Seeder has been the industry’s innovative leader in broadcast seeders and spreaders. Herd’s GT-77-ATV, I-258, and M12 models are available at participating Co-op stores. Following is a rundown of each model:

GT-77-ATV — Herd’s GT‐77‐ATV is a perfect fit for most ATVs, UTVs, side‐by‐side vehicles, or lawn mowers. This broadcaster will eliminate hours spent hand‐seeding. Its precision metering system will calibrate to the smallest seeds, guaranteeing less seed waste. The GT‐77‐ATVs vibrating agitator system ensures a constant feed of the material being spread.

I-258 — A higher capacity electric broadcast seeder/spreader, the Herd I‐258 spreads a wide variety of materials, from seed or fertilizer to insecticides or herbicides. The galvanized hopper is durable enough for years of trouble‐free use. The vibrating agitator ensures material will be fed through the stainless steel seed gate. The spread can be centered, and the metering ensures control of the amount of seed distributed. Mounting kits are available for many vehicles, including 3‐point hitch or UTVs.

M-12 — The Herd M‐12 PTO‐powered broadcast seeder/spreader makes quick work of big jobs. Rugged mountings and a galvanized hopper give years of quality performance. The spinning agitator spreads both seed and fertilizer consistently. Seed rates can be adjusted down to approximately 2 pounds per acre.
