Seed handling is increasingly a priority as farms and planters get bigger. The Seed Pro seed tender from Unverferth provides dual-purpose bulk seed-handling versatility. It can deliver up to four, 50-unit seed boxes to your planter or drill. It is even possible to position the conveyor parallel with the Seed Pro tender to transfer seed from one container to another.

The Seed Pro Tender is powered by an 11-hp, electric-start Honda gas engine with all of the controls located on the operating side of the unit. The Seed Pro has a steep-sloped funnel design for fast and complete unloading. There are dual unloading chutes that feed the conveyor from a central point to boost unloading efficiency and there are easy-opening, five by six-inch doors for regulating seed flow into the conveyors.
