No DramaBuyer guide · Agriculture & feed
A nursery seeder is worth what it puts in each cell, exactly one seed, and that rate changes with seed shape and size, so a demo on round cabbage seed says little about your pelleted lettuce.
01
Needle or nozzle seeders pick seeds by vacuum row by row and handle many seed types with changeable tips. Drum seeders fill a whole row at once and run faster, but each drum suits a seed size and tray pattern.
Count the nozzle sizes or drums included against your seed list and every tray format you use. Each missing part is a later order.
Tray destacker, substrate filling, dibbling, seeding, covering and watering can each be in or out. Ask which of these the price covers.
Ask whether the vacuum pump is on board and what compressed air the seeder needs.
02
Send these with the enquiry. Without them, any number a factory gives you is a guess dressed as a quotation.

| Require this | A pass looks like |
|---|---|
| Sow a counted number of trays with each of your seeds. | Empty cells and double cells counted per tray, inside the rate agreed for each seed. |
| Change to your smallest seed and a different tray format. | Changeover time recorded and the new seed meets its own agreed rate. |
| Run at the stated trays per hour for thirty minutes. | Trays counted and the singulation rate at full speed matches the slow-speed test. |

A precision planter or seed drill for your tractor. A tray seeder is a greenhouse machine.
A tray thermoforming machine is a different purchase; buy the seeder separately.

We name the kind of source, how many and when, and never the factory. Listed prices are asking prices, not landed cost. Where we do not hold a fact we say so: that is a GAP, not an estimate.
07
Every machine we source in this area is on the Agriculture & feed page. How a project runs, stage by stage, is on how it works, and what it costs is on pricing.
