Abstract

Furrow seeding is a one-man, one-trip operation designed to prepare a favorable seedbed on forest sites and sow pine seed in rows. Many machines have been developed for the job. This note illustrates and gives operating instructions for two of them, the compact H-C furrow seeder and an adaption for use behind a fireplow. For those wishing to build one of the machines, a complete set of detailed drawings is available on request.
