Meet the SC1 Garlic & Onion Seeder
The SC1 Series by SECA is the ideal solution for modern farmers seeking precision, speed, and profitability. Available in 2 to 12 rows, this machine increases planting efficiency and quality while reducing labor.
How It Works
The SC1 uses a double-belt system to transfer seeds from the hopper to the soil groove opened by a blade. Each planting unit is mounted on a parallelogram suspension, ensuring consistent planting depth even on uneven ground.
- Adjustable seed spacing: 4–6 cm, 6–8 cm, 8–10 cm
- Tilting seed hopper: Backward for small seeds, forward for large seeds
- Supported seeds: Garlic cloves, onion sets, tulip bulbs
