Turf Seeders
A turf seeder is an overseeder that creates healthy, dense, long-lasting turf by pushing seed into the ground. Different turf seeders are designed for different turf seeding purposes. Turf seeders play a crucial role in turf maintenance by introducing new grass seeds, enhancing turf density, resilience, and appearance. Turf seeding helps repair damage, thicken thin areas, and improve grass variety for better resistance to pests and weather.
Turf Seeders: Two Main Methods
Dimple seeding, a.k.a. spike seeding, offers minimal turf disruptions. Speedseed dimple seeder seeds large areas fast! Multi-Seeder dimple seeder handles undulations and contours amazingly well.
Disc seeding, a.k.a slice seeding or slit seeding, is ideal for precise, deep seed placement. Overseeder 3D offers best-in-class disc seeding.
Speedseed
Speedseed dimple turf seeders are designed for speed. It overseeds large areas quickly with minimal impact on the turf. A dimple roller creates seed pockets, delivering seed into the holes. A rear brush follows, ensuring seed is put into the ground, speeding up the turf seeding process. Exceptionally user-friendly, the Speedseed line is adjustable for a range of seed types.
Speedseed 1100 – Compact
- Working Width: 1.1 m (1.2 yd)
- Weight: 380 kg (836 lbs)
- Min. HP required: 20
Speedseed 1500 – Medium
- Working Width: 1.5 m (1.6 yd)
- Weight: 468 kg (1030 lbs)
- Min. HP required: 30
Speedseed 2000 – Wide
- Working Width: 2 m (2.2 yd)

Turf Seeding method:
Dimple Seeding
Speedseed dimple seeder line has front rolling spikes, forming seed pockets that improve placement and offer early growth protection. Coverage is consistent. A rear brush then pushes seed in, promoting germination and shielding seed from weather and wildlife. It’s a streamlined dimple overseeding method.
Multi-Seeder
The Multi-Seeder dimple turf seeders are built for precision on level or sloped terrain. Dual rollers create a pivoting carriage that follow undulations. They can also be fixed for flat ground. It delivers seed evenly without damaging the surface. Redexim’s gearbox system controls application rate and seed size for consistent delivery.
Multi-Seeder 1200 – Compact
- Working Width: 1.2 m (1.3 yd)
- Weight: 619 kg (1365 lbs)
- Min. HP required: 25
Multi-Seeder 1600 – Medium
- Working Width: 1.6 m (1.8 yd)
- Weight: 750 kg (1653 lbs)
- Min. HP required: 35
Multi-Seeder 2100 – Wide
- Working Width: 2.1 m (2.3 yd)
- Weight: 922 kg (2033 lbs)
- Min. HP required: 45
Overseeder 3D
The Overseeder 3D is a disc seeder that slices grooves into the soil to place seed deep, maximising germination rates. It’s ideal for spring and autumn, when conditions favour slit seeding. Rugged paired discs open the ground. It offers single-point adjustment for accurate calibration across seed types. With minimal surface disruption and consistent results, the Overseeder 3D is a reliable choice for renovation work and high-performance turf care.
Overseeder 3D 1275 – Compact
- Working Width: 1.2 m (1.3 yd)
- Weight: 698 kg (1539 lbs)
- Min. HP required: 30
Overseeder 3D 1575 LV – Medium
- Working Width: 1.58 m (1.8 yd)
- Weight: 832 kg (1834 lbs) Lightweight version
- Min. HP required: 40
Turf Seeding method: Slit-Seeding
Overseeder 3D uses slit seeding, a.k.a slice/disc seeding. This is a mechanical turf seeding method that places seed directly into narrow grooves cut into the soil.
This improves seed-to-soil contact, bypasses the thatch layer, and promotes faster, more reliable germination. It’s especially effective for rejuvenating worn or compacted turf.
Compared to other methods, slit seeding offers deeper placement and better protection from wind, birds, and surface runoff, making it ideal for sports fields, golf courses, and high-traffic areas.
Pedestrian Turf Seeders
Speedseed Walk Behind
- Working Width: 0.6 m (24″)
- Weight: 210 kg (463 lbs)
Speed-Seed Walk Behind. 6.5 hp engine, mechanical drive, and forward speed up to 5 km/h.
Cultipack Seeder 910
- Working Width: 0.9 m (36″)
- Weight: 325 kg (715 lbs)
Designed for bare soil that’s ready for seeding. Ideal for landscapers because it is compact and manoeuvrable.
Conclusion: Turf Seeders
A turf seeder plays a crucial role in turf maintenance by introducing new grass seeds to existing lawns, enhancing turf density, resilience, and appearance. Turf seeding helps repair damage, thicken thin areas, and improve grass variety for better resistance to pests and weather. Techniques like dimple (spiked) and disc (slit) seeding ensure optimal seed-to-soil contact and root development with minimal disruption.
Redexim turf seeders, known for their durability and precision, streamline the process and support long-term turf maintenance. Our Speedseed and Multi-Seeder dimples can efficiently cover large areas or handle uneven terrain, while the Overseeder 3D, an exceptional disc seeder, promotes extremely fast germination.
