Native seed harvesting is easier with a Seed Stripper from Prairie Habitats Inc.

Our patented Pull Type Seed Strippers (PTSS) come in 4 and 6 foot models.

Please contact us for current prices.

Developed for use in rugged terrain and ecologically sensitive areas, Prairie Habitats Inc.'s PTSS lets you harvest the seeds you need, with little environmental impact. Powered by a fuel efficient, low maintenance, reliable, Briggs & Stratton Intek 6.5 hp OHV gasoline engine, the PTSS can harvest numerous species of seed or leaves efficiently under a wide variety of field conditions. The standard dual-stage brush effectively combs the seed off plants, while the rotation sets up an airflow that pulls the seed into the hopper. Or try our new optional ripper head that is designed for more aggressive harvesting of tough-headed wilflowers such as Echinacea. Easy to use sliding hitch converts from transport to harvesting mode in a few seconds with no tools needed. Integrated hydraulics allow you to couple with your tractor's hydraulic system for infinitely variable height control. Or use our manual hydraulic pump to raise and lower the PTSS just as easily.

Our seed strippers pay for themselves! Compare the cost of a Prairie Habitats Inc. PTSS with buying native seeds commercially. Get the volumes of seed and the species diversity you need for ecological restoration projects.

Harvest seeds quickly and efficiently from nurseries or other small plots, too. Still picking wildflower, herbal or medicinal plant seeds by hand? Increase you efficiency with a PTSS.
