Claims
The invention relates to a seeding unit of the type that attaches to a tool bar, forming a seed drill applicable to either direct or traditional seeding methods. This type of drill is used for planting large fields and is characterized by creating holes in the soil and depositing a seed within them. The invention integrates a planetary gear system into a compact structural unit. This system, driven by a motor, provides traction to two hubless wheels. Inside the unit, it houses a conventional seed metering device, a seed tube, and a tool consisting of a hollow boot with a blade. This tool is actuated by a mechanism to create the hole and deposit the seed. The innovation allows for better soil conservation and reduces the power required by the vehicle towing the unit.
