Four procurement checks organize the inquiry; they are not performance statistics. Field Link Sourcing helps turn those checks into an intelligible factory request and keeps unresolved items visible before a buyer compares offers.
A comparable starting point
Specify the machine and the tractor together
| Crop and field | |
|---|---|
| Metering and distribution | Seed species, seed size range, target rate with units, row spacing and required calibration procedure. Ask how fertilizer is separated from seed if both are requested. |
| Ground engagement | Soil texture, residue load, opener type, planting depth and downforce adjustment. A field description is more useful than a general claim about versatility. |
| Power and integration | |
| Power or capacity class | Record engine power in hp or kW, available PTO horsepower where applicable, hopper capacity and usable working width. Manufacturer recommendations require model-specific confirmation. |
| Drive and implement interface | Document drawbar or three-point hitch dimensions, PTO arrangement, hydraulic flow and pressure, connector type and controller compatibility. Do not assume a tractor power rating proves interface fit. |
| Commercial scope | Quantity in units or sets, destination ZIP/state, requested seasonal delivery date, packing, spares and commissioning responsibilities. |
A written scope separates required features from optional controls. Ask factories to identify deviations line by line and list freight, duties, inspection and service charges separately. A low equipment price can exclude parts or support needed before sowing.
What will the seeder establish?
Cover crops
Discuss mixed seed sizes and separate metering where needed.
Pasture
Describe slopes, access and the intended establishment method.
Distributor orders
Specify the configurations, documents and parts in each set.
Procurement scenario — not a customer testimonial
“Keep the seed specification fixed while comparing opener, metering and support options.”
A buyer considering pneumatic distribution and a conventional drill can request separate offers against the same crop, area and sowing window. The review records power demand, service access and replacement-part scope before comparing total cost. This illustrates a purchasing method, not a completed order or measured saving.

Share the equipment class, quantity and destination. An optional budget can guide which specification and support trade-offs to discuss; it does not replace compatibility checks.
