A mechanical planter is an agricultural machine designed for efficient and precise planting of seeds in rows. It automates the process of seed placement, helping farmers plant crops more efficiently and consistently. Mechanical planters come in various types and sizes, from hand-operated seeders to tractor-mounted planters. Here’s how a typical mechanical planter works:

Seed Hopper: A mechanical planter typically has a seed hopper where seeds are loaded. The hopper can hold a substantial quantity of seeds, reducing the need for frequent refilling.

Seed Metering: Within the seed hopper, there is a seed metering mechanism that regulates the flow of seeds. This mechanism ensures that seeds are released one at a time or in small, controlled batches.

Planting Units: Mechanical planters have planting units that place the seeds into the soil at the desired spacing and depth. These planting units can vary in design but often include seed plates, seed cups, or other mechanisms for precise seed placement.

Seed Distribution: As the mechanical planter moves forward, it distributes seeds from the hopper to the planting units. The mechanism used for seed distribution depends on the specific design of the planter.

Depth Control: Mechanical planters are equipped with depth control wheels or furrow openers that set the planting depth for the seeds. This ensures that seeds are placed at the correct depth for optimal germination.

Row Spacing: Some mechanical planters have adjustable row spacing to accommodate different crop requirements and field conditions.

Manual or Power Operation: Depending on the type and size of the planter, it can be operated manually, pushed by a person, or attached to a tractor or other machinery for powered operation.
