ABSTRACT:
A combination spot seeder and tree harvesting mechanism which has a cylindrical seed canister with a top filler opening and a bottom dispensing opening. The spot seeder has a shaft with a seed pocket milled in it which shaft is slideably fitted within the dispensing opening for movement between a retracted position with the seed pocket inside the seed canister and an extended position with the seed pocket outside the seed canister. The seed pocket and the dispensing opening both have rounded edges to minimize damage to the seeds as the seed pocket is closed off by the dispensing opening. The spot seeder is mounted on a feller-buncher head, and the shaft is activated by each cutting stroke of the feller-buncher head.
