Abstract
A power seeder may include a frame, one or more wheels, one or more blades capable of cutting into soil, an engine capable of powering the one or more blades, and a seed hopper. The seed hopper may have an opening capable of dispensing seed located forward of the one or more blades. The one or more blades may rotate in an opposite direction to a forward rotation of the one or more wheels. In some embodiments, the seeder may further include a handle for adjusting the height of the one or more blades, a plurality of interlocking teeth, and a spring. The spring may provide a load to counteract the force of gravity on the one or more blades. The aerator may also include a flap located between the opening and the one or more blades.

A power seeder comprising:
- a frame,
- one or more blades capable of cutting into soil,
- an engine capable of powering the one or more blades,
- a handle including a depth handle and a sliding handle, and
- a plurality of interlocking teeth,
- wherein said plurality of interlocking teeth are disposed between the sliding handle and a depth plate;
- wherein activation of the depth handle disengages the plurality of interlocking teeth allowing movement and adjustment of the height of the one or more blades, and
- wherein deactivation of the depth handle engages the plurality of interlocking teeth preventing movement of the depth handle and sliding handle.
