Herd Fertilizer/Seed spreader for ATV's

[BDubya]

New to this forum, I agree with all of the comments about the Agri-Fab towable . . . POS.

I happen to be local to Herd and have stopped over to see the operation--nice people and good product. They did not have the ATV model in stock while I was there, however, so a question for you that already have it: How does the seed gate open and close? My tractor is large enough that I cannot reach back to open or shut the gate while driving the vehicle. I've looked at Landpride's model, too, and it has an electric flow control that works very well from the driver's seat with a remote set of switches. I'm impressed by the build of the Herd, but I need the control, too.

Thanks,

Brian

Are you talking the ATV model or the 3 point hitch model. I have a TC29D with a Herd M96 which has an arm in the front of it that I can reach back and open and close.

the ATV model has a lever that you reach back and open, and a very minute adjustment of how far it can open. (and that locks down tight so it doesn't move), the button for running the electric power is back there too

dunno about the tractor models

We wanted to post a reply to all of you that are talking about Herd Seeders. This is from Bobbi and Diane who work at Herd Seeder Company. We have gotten several emails this week about the kind words that people are saying about Herd Seeder Co. We appreciate hearing good things about our seeders, as we do hear some bad and the good makes up for that bad.

This is a small family owned business that has been in operation since 1948. We only have about 18 employees, but we pride ourselves with making the best seeder out there. If at anytime you have questions about our seeders or you're thinking about buying a seeder and don't know what to buy, just give us a call on our toll free line, 866-753-6311 and we'll be glad to help you out.

Again, we would like to thank all of you for your kinds words. It's people like you who help us spread the word about Herd Seeder Co.

Wow that's pretty cool. Only 18 employees... IMO the small operations are much more likely to put out a solid product then the larger ones. Something about the taste of big bucks brings about short cuts being taken to save on costs...

Wow, have we ever had a manufacture come on this forum and say thanks? I can't remember one. But Gals I am going to say thanks back. I have one of your Herds and can only say good things about it. I will recomend the M96 anything.
