Abstract
An apparatus to form a part of an agricultural planting implement is provided to simplify and enhance its function.
There are tanks provided for supplying material such as seed and fertilizer to be planted. The seed and fertilizer are elevated from the tanks by a separate flexible positive feeding conveyor to two or more respective chambers where a single wheel or cylinder in each chamber meters the material conveyed to the chamber. The metered material then enters several guide tubes where it is gravity fed to a furrow made in the ground by the implement. Each of the chambers includes an expandable portion to indicate whether or not they are functioning properly. When an implement with folding side wings are used an air assist and/or a shaking clamp may be applied to the gravity fed guide tubes to ensure proper placement of the materials.
