We really like our seeder and are impressed with the USA made quality like what we used to find in products back in the 50s & 60s before the made in China junk flooded the market. It has a heavy gauge aluminum frame and many of the parts are durable nylon rather than cheap plastic. The wheels roll on steel bushing shafts and all the bolts are respectable grade 5 quality requiring a 1/2" & 7/16" wrench for assembly. The 1/4" drive belt is more than adequate and the 12" dia cleated drive wheel is big enough not get lost in our soil and prevents skipped seeds in the row. The seed plates are amazingly easy to change, no tools required. The seed depth and row marker are easily adjusted by loosening large wing nuts with your fingers, once again, no tools needed. The handy kick stand keeps the seeder upright so we don't have to be concerned about seeds spilling out like we would if we had to lay it on its side. I first saw this very machine advertized almost 20 years ago so it has certainly stood the test of time. I have been an organic gardener for 33 years and consider this fella a real back saver and time saver. Well worth twice the price in my mind!
