Apple Farm Service is now offering Seeder rentals. Do you need a seeder, but don’t want to pay full price for one? Or do you only need to use it once? Or maybe you don’t have room to store one long term? No matter the reason, we want to help meet your needs. If you live near one of our locations and need a seeder, give your local store a call to see what they have available. Our service department will be happy to help you find the right seeder for your needs and get you on the schedule when that unit is available. The equipment you need will be determined by the size of the area you are seeding and the horsepower of your tractor.
Areas Serviced
We service a 30-mile radius around each of our locations. Click here for location details.
When you schedule a rental we will need to get a certificate of insurance or proof of liability. Before returning a unit, we ask that you empty the seed cups and clean the unit so it’s in the same condition you received it.
Rates vary based on the size of the unit or whether it has an engine meter or not. Daily rates range between $100-$300 per day, and meter rates start at $10 per acre!
