BRILLION, Wis. (May 9, 2003)—Brillion Iron Works, a leading manufacturer of seeding and agricultural equipment, announces the introduction of a specially designed 4-foot self-contained seeder designed for wildlife enthusiasts planting food plots and feeding areas.

The Brillion SSP-4 Sure Stand Seeder can be operated behind most lightweight all-terrain vehicles with four-wheel drive or compact tractors. It can be used to plant seeds for forage or feed plots, at a wide variety of seeding rates. Two seed hoppers, each with 1 3/4-bushel capacity, allow the user to plant seeds of differing sizes simultaneously.

Designed for use either with a drawbar or on a standard Cat. I three-point hitch, the Brillion SSP-4 is easy to operate and can be used in minimally tilled or conventionally tilled soils. The Brillion double-roller seedbed conditioning system ensures optimum seed-to-soil contact with consistent seed placement in the top half inch of the seedbed for faster, more consistent germination.

A 12-volt electric/hydraulic lift system allows the SSP-4 to be operated behind an ATV or tractor without hydraulic outlets. The electro-hydraulic unit is tucked away near the center of the seeder and has a self-contained hydraulic reservoir and pump controlled with a remote switch that can be mounted on the tow vehicle.

The SSP-4 comes fully outfitted with drawbar and transport wheels. The standard drawbar kit includes 2-inch by 6-inch double acting cylinders, drawbar, drawbar jack, wheel end brackets and 16 x 6.50-8 tires. In the parked position the entire unit can be easily maneuvered on the tires and the hitch jack dolly wheel for easy hookup or storage.

“Food plots and feeding areas now can be easily and effectively seeded with the versatile Brillion SSP-4 Sure Stand seeder,” says Mike Irish, general sales manager for Brillion.
