Front Gangs

The GS40L Series offers two different types of Front Gangs, Front Notched Disc Blades and Front Spiked Rollers, making this Ground Seeder ideal for many different environments.

• Front Notched Disc Blades are ideal for aggressive tillage, or simply cutting seed openings. 

• Front Spiked Rollers will create pockets to hold seed and initiate germination, aggressive angling can remove existing stands by their roots. 

Spiked Drive Roller

Standard equipment on the GS40L, the Spiked Drive Roller will crushes clods, pushes down seeds, and dimples soil to trap moisture.

To increase germination, the in-base rear Nylon Cultipacker levels and breaks up soil clods, pressing the seed into the soil for improved seed-to-soil contact, firms the seed bed, and creates furrows to trap and channel water.
