The Eco Seeder is the smallest drill in the Renovator range but packs in all the great features of its bigger brothers.
All the trusted Renovator components are part of the Eco Seeder, from 25mm coil tines and Baker boots, right through to the variable speed gearbox and peg tooth seeder units.
Whether you want to sow seed and fertiliser or just seed, there is a model suitable for you. Each Eco Seeder model can be configured as a trailing or linkage model and options such as tine harrows and disc openers add to the versatility of this drill.
This is the perfect drill for a farmer who wants high quality reliability on a smaller budget.

Technology
Gravity seed distribution
This reliable system has been utilised on Duncan Drills for decades. It is easy to calibrate and use, requires no tractor hydraulics to run it and it is incredibly accurate due to the seeds being metered from individual outlets for each run.
Seed and fertiliser is stored in a box above the drilling tines or discs and drops into a metering peg roller system with coarse and fine wheels and flow control flaps to handle different seed sizes and sowing rates.
Metered seed and fertiliser then drops down flexible hoses to the point of contact with the ground.
Tine technology
25mm Coil Tine
The tine has minimal sideways movement so that it tracks straight and it will follow an opening disc.
The tine pulls back before it lifts up out of the ground, so it is not placing seed on top of the ground.
Made from solid spring steel with no drilled holes to weaken it so it’s very durable with minimal breakages.
Staggered tine mounting layout to assist trash flow.
Baker Boot
The Baker Boot is replaceable.
The tungsten carbide leading edge with a positive rake angle on the point penetrates the ground and opens up a slot.
The seed and fertiliser are placed at different depths for optimum germination.
The wings & heel of the boot create a cavity containing all of the key ingredients being seed, fertiliser, moisture, air and loose soil which is ideal for fast germination and rapid root development.
Calibration App
Use the Duncan Seed Drill app on your phone for easy and accurate job configuration and calibration of any new or existing Duncan Renovator or Duncan Enviro drill, and take your drilling operations to the next level of productivity.
The Duncan seed drill app contains step-by-step user guides for making calibration and mechanical adjustments to your drill. Great for any new operator or if you're just a bit rusty yourself!
Calibrate multiple machines with the app, and get every operator set up with it too so they can do calibrations from their own phone.
Calibrating a ground drive drill with seed or fertiliser will display the required mechanical settings.
Connect wirelessly to a Duncan E-Drive drill to set up the sowing rates and run calibrations while you are right beside the drill.
