Have been using an old ATV type broadcast seeder on my ATV and now UTV for about ten years and it's about shot. Looking to replace with something a bit more heavy duty to use on the Polaris Ranger.
Any thoughts on what brand / type is the best, most durable, etc. for seeding turnips, clover, and other small seeds?
My existing one is an Earthway brand with plastic tub, plastic gate and mostly all plastic parts. The gate and opening mechanism in particular is pretty flimsy on this one.
Feedback would be apprevciated.

Earth Way makes pretty good products. They have some commercial models built pretty good.

Bought a Herd brand seeder. Seems to be better built and much more heavy duty than some of the other brands mentioned. Also picked up a 6' pull behind, drop spreader for applying lime and fertilizer.
Recently took soil samples at all of the food plots and sent them to lab for analysis. I'm sure I will need lime, and likely something else to get best results. Going to try to do things by the book this year to assure highly productive food plots.
