A seed tine assembly for mounting on a frame component of a seed drilling implement, said assembly comprising:

• a tine having an upper end which is intended to be mounted on the frame component, and having a lower soil-engaging end;
• a seed share mounted on the tine and arranged to form a furrow in the soil below the surface of the soil, the seed share terminating at a front apex;
• a tine point mounted on the lower end of the tine and projecting downwardly therefrom, the tine point having an inside face with a groove formed thereon, the apex of the seed share being received within the groove of the tine point;
• and
• a supply tube mounted on the share and projecting upwardly therefrom, said tube having an upper end which is intended to receive an air-driven supply of seed and a lower end arranged to distribute see into the furrow formed by the share.

• a tine comprising an elongated, solid shaft, upright leg having an upper end which is intended to be mounted on the frame component and an opposing lower soil-engaging end, the tine further including a solid shaft base leg rearwardly projecting from the lower soil-engaging end of the upright leg;
• a seed share mechanically bolted to the solid shaft base leg and arranged to form a furrow in the soil below the surface of the soil;
• a tine point mechanically mounted on the lower end of the upright leg and projecting downwardly therefrom;
• and
• a supply tube mounted on the seed share at a distance from the tine and projecting upwardly therefrom, the tube having an upper end which is intended to receive an air-driven supply of seed and a lower end arranged to distribute seed into the furrow formed by the seed share.
