Seeder
Sows cereal and other seeder-compatible crops.
What it is used for
Sows cereal and other seeder-compatible crops.
How to operate it
Fill with seed, select the crop, unfold/lower/activate the machine, and cover the field with even overlap. Some seeders can cultivate or fertilise in the same pass.
Selection and setup
Check the in-game shop for power requirement, working width, capacity, supported fill types, hitch/header compatibility and optional configurations before purchase or leasing.
Operating procedure
Before starting, confirm the machine is compatible with the crop/material and that the power unit meets the shop requirement. Attach or enter the machine, unfold/prepare it, position at the start of the work area, lower/activate the working components where applicable, then work consistent passes at the machine’s rated working speed. Monitor fill level, material type and missed strips. Stop/lift the working parts before tight headland turns, reposition, then resume.
Before you buy or lease
Check working width, working speed, power requirement, capacity, supported fill/crop types, hitch/header compatibility, wheel/tyre options and whether the tool combines another field operation. Lease highly specialised equipment when it will only be used for a small acreage.
Compatibility & attachments
This shows what the equipment connects to, which attachment families work with it, and what each combination is used for. For a specific model, the in-game shop Combinations panel is the final compatibility check.
| Compatible connection / attachment | Used for | Important notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tractor rear 3-point / drawbar | Sow cereal and other crops supported by the selected seeder. | Meet power requirement and load seed; some models also accept fertiliser. |
| Power harrow combination | Some mounted seeders attach to a matching power harrow for one-pass cultivation and seeding. | Only use pairings shown as a shop combination. |
Procedure
- Check that the seeder supports the crop you intend to sow and whether it offers direct drilling.
- Fill the seed tank and any optional fertiliser tank, then select the intended crop.
- If the seeder is not a direct drill, prepare the seedbed first with the appropriate soil-working tool.
- Unfold, lower and activate the seeder at a straight field edge and sow parallel passes with a small overlap.
- Watch the seed/fertiliser level and refill before either tank runs empty.
- After sowing, use a field roller promptly if you want the optional rolling bonus.

Alternative options
Direct-drill seeder: skips separate cultivation when conditions permit.
Seeder with fertiliser: combines sowing and first nutrient pass.
Practical tips
- Confirm the crop is supported before filling/starting.
- Operate at the tool’s rated working speed and allow space at headlands for clean turns.
