The video runs a side-by-side field audition of an aerator seeder versus a tine-style unit, explains clutch engagement, ground-drive versus PTO speed, seed-rate guesswork, and float-position mechanics. Most useful to someone deciding between seeder types for an imperfect, wet real-world situation rather than a controlled demo.
Tractor Time with Tim is a hobbyist-lifestyle channel focused on compact tractors and owner projects, not affiliated with a dealership.
There is a clutch that engages when the back roller hits the ground while floating, which makes the elevator shake and work the seed into the soil.
The video recommends running about one and a half to two miles per hour so the shaking mechanism has time to work the seed in properly.
The ground was very wet and soft, and the aerator seeder gave good seed to soil contact with a roller packing it in, which fit the muddy conditions better.
You watch the chain rolling as an indicator that seed is being applied, since you cannot see the seed itself coming out on the front side.
