Description
Aeraseeder 1200 | Overseeder
The Aeraseeder 1200 is a heavy-duty, 2-in-1 overseeder designed for precision overseeding of fine turf such as greens, tees and sportsfields. Conventional overseeding can disrupt the playing surface and deliver inconsistent seed placement; the Aeraseeder 1200 uses angled coned rollers and integrated brushing to place seed accurately into thousands of small holes with minimal disturbance to the existing sward.
Only the 1.2 m working width Aeraseeder 1200 model is described here. Please contact us for information on the 1.8 m or 2.4 m wide options.
Key Features and Specifications

- Working width: 1.20 m for use on compact and medium-size turf areas.
- Overall width: 1.30 m.
- 2-in-1 function: Combines seed placement and light surface aeration in a single pass.
- Coned roller design: Unique angled coned rollers produce approximately 1,750 holes per square metre, optimising seed-to-soil contact.
- Rear brush: Rear-mounted brush sweeps seed into the holes created by the coned roller, improving germination and establishment.
- Seed hopper: 0.17 m³ hopper capacity with internal agitator for consistent seed flow.
- Contour following: Floating headstock design helps the unit follow ground contours and maintain consistent working depth.
- Spike length: 38 mm for shallow, closely spaced perforations suited to fine turf.
- Roller configuration: Can be supplied with coned / coned or coned / flat roller configurations (datasheet specification).
- Options: Rear platform and brush with coned spike roller (datasheet specification).
- Weight (empty hopper): 209 kg.
Application and Usage Instructions
- Set the Aeraseeder 1200 to the desired working depth so that the 38 mm spikes produce clean perforations without excessive surface disruption.
- Fill the hopper with the chosen seed mixture, ensuring it is clean and free-flowing; the internal agitator assists in maintaining a consistent seed feed.
- Adjust the seed rate according to seed supplier recommendations for overseeding fine turf.
- Operate the machine at an appropriate forward speed to achieve the target perforation density of approximately 1,750 holes per m².
- Allow the rear brush to work effectively by maintaining correct brush height so that seed is swept cleanly into the holes rather than left on the surface.
- After overseeding, avoid aggressive rolling or heavy traffic until initial germination and establishment are achieved.
- Clean down the rollers, brush and hopper after use and store the machine under cover to protect components and maintain performance.
Efficient overseeding for high-quality fine turf
