Taizy maize planter is an agricultural machine specially used for planting corn. It can plant multiple rows of corn seeds at the same time.
In Taizy machinery, we have different types of planters for you to choose from, such as 1 row, 2 rows, 3 rows, 4 rows, 5 rows, 6 rows, and 8 rows corn planters.
This machine works with a tractor. It is mainly used for no-till single or double grain corn precision seeding. It can complete furrowing, fertilizing, seeding, and soil covering in one pass. The fertilizer amount and plant spacing are adjustable.
At present, the machine has been exported to Nigeria, the Philippines, Pakistan, Congo, India, and other countries.

Structure of the maize planter
The main structure of the maize planter includes the seedbox, ditcher, seed metering device, fertilizer box, fertilizer metering device, soil covering, and pressing device.
- Land wheel: Drives the machine forward and powers the planting and fertilizing mechanisms.
- Land axle: Supports the land wheel and transmits power.
- Frame: Supports all components of the machine and ensures structural stability.
- Fertilizer opener: Opens furrows, applies fertilizer, and covers soil, achieving precise fertilization.
- Planting assembly: Seed metering device for single or double grain planting.
- Drive system: Distributes power to all planting rows through the gearbox and drive shafts.
- Grain/Fertilizer tube: Guides seeds and fertilizer into the furrow.
- Trenching column: Opens furrows for planting seeds and applying fertilizer.
- Fertilizer box holder: Secures the fertilizer box and ensures stable fertilizer delivery.
- Small chain cover: Protects the chain and prevents foreign objects from jamming the transmission.
- Fertilizer box and cover: Stores fertilizer and controls the application rate.
- Seed box and cover: Stores seeds and controls the seeding rate.
- Pull rod: Adjusts row spacing and synchronizes the operation of all mechanisms.
How does corn planter work?
In the process of machine seeding, the main power of the corn seeder comes from the rear power output shaft of the tractor.
During operation, corn seeds are picked up by the rotating seed plate and guided through the seed tube into the furrow by the seed guide wheel.
Centrifugal force and gravity ensure each seed is accurately placed for single-seed planting.
Excess seeds are removed and returned to the filling zone for reuse, achieving precise and efficient seeding.

Installation and Adjustment
Installation instructions
This machine is available in 2-row, 3-row, and 4-row models. Installation is similar for all models:
- Attach the fertilizer openers to the front beam.
- Install the seeding units on the rear beam.
- Fix the fertilizer boxes on both sides of the crossbeam.
Note: Ensure the fertilizer openers and seeding openers are staggered by at least 50 mm to prevent seed burning. - Tighten all U-bolts evenly and keep the shaft holes aligned.
Row spacing adjustment
- Loosen U-bolts and mounting clamps.
- Adjust the position of the drive plate and speed shaft.
- Adjust the fertilizer sprockets and chain tension.
- After adjustment, fix everything and recalibrate the opener spacing.
Single-seed mode
The seed metering device is preset at the factory for “one seed per hole” mode.
Plant spacing adjustment
Use the gear lever to change the transmission ratio for four spacing options:
| Gear | Plant Spacing (mm) |
|---|---|
| 1 | 280 |
| 2 | 226 |
| 3 | 173 |
| 4 | 140 |
Note: Actual spacing may vary slightly depending on soil conditions or mud adhesion.
Seeding and fertilizing depth adjustment
- Fertilizer Depth: Loosen U-bolts and move the fertilizer opener up or down. Fertilizer should generally be 50 mm deeper than the seeding depth.
- Seeding Depth: Rotate the adjustment handwheel to change the opener height. Clockwise rotation decreases depth; counterclockwise increases depth.
Seeding rate adjustment
- Adjust the seed plate positioning tab to control missing and double seeds.
- Raising the tab reduces double seeds; lowering the tab reduces missed seeds.
- Two types of seed plates are supplied; choose based on seed type.
Fertilizer rate adjustment
- Turn the handwheel to change the working length of the fertilizer disc:
- Clockwise → increase fertilizer rate
- Counterclockwise → decrease fertilizer rate
Chain tension adjustment
- Adjust the main drive chain with the tensioner.
- Maintain proper chain tension to prevent slipping or derailment.
- Recheck and adjust if the chain becomes loose during operation.
Operating requirements
- Do not exceed the recommended working speed:
| Plant Spacing (mm) | 160 | 200 | 260 | 325 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Max Speed (km/h) | 4.0 | 5.0 | 5.5 | 6.0 |
- Do not tow the planter at high speed.
- Lower the machine slowly during operation to prevent opener clogging.
- Monitor seeding and fertilizing continuously; stop immediately if any abnormalities occur and inspect the machine.
How to use maize planter correctly?
Check the machine
The weeds and soil on the machine shall be cleaned before the machine works. And check whether the rotating part is normal.
Seed and fertilizer filling
Put the seeds into a transparent container and put the fertilizer into a yellow container. The seeds shall be added at least to cover the inlet of the seed metering box. This can ensure smooth seeding.
Trial broadcast in advance
To ensure the sowing quality, we must adhere to trial sowing for 20 meters before large-scale sowing. Observe the operation of the maize planter. After confirming that the seeding requirements are met, large-area seeding can be carried out.
Drive in a straight line at a constant speed
When sowing, pay attention to moving forward in a straight line at a constant speed and do not stop at once or stop halfway. This can avoid replay and missed broadcasts.
Observe frequently
When planting, you should always observe the work of the seed dispenser, ditcher, mulching device, and transmission mechanism.
In case of blockage, clay, the entanglement of grass, loose seed coverage, etc., it shall be removed in time. Repairing, lubricating, or clearing tangled grass must be done after stopping.
What is the best corn planter?
Every buyer wants to choose the best corn planter. But the best may not be right for you. The selection of the machine needs to be based on your actual situation.
For example, some people say that an 8-row machine is the best. But the bigger the machine, the more expensive it will be. You may not be able to afford it. Moreover, if the land area is not large, it is not suitable for large machines.
There are a variety of different types of maize planters on the market today, and you may not know which machine to choose.

FAQs
What crops are corn seeders used for?
Corn seeder is not only suitable for corn, but also for soybeans, peanuts, and other crops by changing the seeding disc.
How do you adjust seeding depth and row spacing?
Seeding depth and row spacing can be achieved by adjusting the dials on the planter.
What is the seeding efficiency of a maize planting machine?
This depends on the type and model of the planter.
Why do seeds overlap or get missed when sowing?
This can be caused by a clogged seed tray or seed tube, an improperly adjusted planter, or traveling too fast.
