Tractor and Modified Fertilizer Spreader Adapted for Bermudagrass
Description
Photograph of a tractor with a modified Easy-flow fertilizer spreader adapted for grass. The back of the photograph proclaims, "Easy-flow fertilizer spreader adapted for Bermudagrass seeding. Holes are adjusted to plant 4-24 inch rows. Seed is mixed with 5-10-5 fertilizer and planted at the rate of 2 lbs. of seed and 200 lbs. of fertilizer per acre. The seed is dropped in small furrows that are made by sprig-tooth harrow teeth. Press-wheels train in the furrows. Cost of the conversion is about $65 worth of material plus labor."
