The Stanhay and Seed Spider product have been combined successfully in the Californian market for years but while there is a small amount of first generation Seed Spider product in Europe the huge advancements in design and controller technology that Seed Spider have developed are relatively unknown to the European customer base. The addition of this product to the range in the HDX product means Stanhay can now offer a market leading high density seeder. The key engineering difference being the sponge rotating around a vertical axis rather than the horizontal axis like most product currently available in the market which notably improves the quality and consistency of the seeding in all seed types. So Stanhay is now proud to support existing Seed Spider users with parts and service and offer complete new HDX high density seeding machines.
