The Howard HK 20 Seed Drill is a mechanical seed-drilling machine designed for precision grain and seed placement in prepared seedbeds. Seed drills are essential implements in arable farming, used to sow seeds at controlled depths and spacing to establish uniform crop stands with minimal seed waste.
This machine is equipped with a rear drag harrow (mechanically operated) and features a roller-type cultivator drum (Stabwalze) for seedbed preparation and consolidation. The drill incorporates a hydraulic lift mechanism, allowing the operator to raise and lower the drilling unit from the tractor seat. The machine has passed through a single previous owner, indicating limited and likely well-managed use over its operating life.
The Howard HK 20 is configured as a combination rotary cultivator and seed drill unit (Kreiselegge mit Sämaschine), incorporating a Nordsten NS 1030 cultivator component. This integrated design allows simultaneous soil tillage and seed placement in a single pass, improving efficiency and fuel economy. The machine was manufactured in 1998 and is currently in used condition. It is located in Austria and priced at $4,250.
