For maximum productivity, Sunflower developed the 9412 three-point-mounted all-purpose grain drill line. The 9412 is one of the only mounted true no-till grain drills on the market. It can easily be hand-adjusted from conventional seeding right through residue-laden no-till. This heavyweight rigid seeder is offered in widths of 10 and 12 1/2 feet and adapts to either category II or III hitches. If your tractor is missing a three-point or you want to operate a drill larger than your tractor can handle, simply convert the 9412 to a pull-type by utilizing Sunflower’s transport pull hitch. Sunflower Grain Drills deliver seeding quality.

All Purpose “Heads Up OpenerAll-purpose openers feature wide set 1/2” parallel links for better depth control and “dead on accuracy” in seed placement. Two 400lb. retention springs can generate 420+lbs at the pinch point of the opener blade! Down pressures can be easily adjusted from no-till to conventional seeding without the need of tools. 15” diameter x 3.5mm “Heads Up Opener Blades” eliminate pairing of rows, premature leading blade wear and side loading of bearings. |
Conventional OpenerThe single arm mount conventional openers are mounted at an 8-inch stagger to promote residue flow through the seeding system. The single point mount bearing is protect by UHMW bearings to prevent wear and reduce service time. The pneumatic down pressure system maintains an even down pressure on all row units and eliminates the down pressure spikes that occur with spring activated down pressure systems. |
Seed Hoppers

Seed Meters & AdjustmentsThe infinitely variable meters are very gentle on seeds and provide a continuous flow of material, unlike fluted meters that drop seed in groups. This design has a better singulation effect than dumping small groups of seed (as in fluted meter operations). Rates are easily changed with a lever adjustment system on each hopper system. A small-seeds (legume) seeding hopper can be added to all models. |
