Seed Drop Tubes

K-Mo · Nov 28, 2016

Need seed drop tubes for a vegetable planter. The original tubes are the spiral steel type. Is there a source for the metal spiral type?
Plastic tubing has been suggested, but I am concerned about the small light weight vegetable seeds being hung up by static electricity.
The metal spiral tubes shake and oscillate, which in my opinion would help insure seeds don't get hung up in the tube.
Any comments, suggestion?

Thanks,
K-mo

McMaster-Carr has all kinds of flexible metal tubing. We use flexible plastic tubing with no problems, try crushproof.com.

I used rubber air line on a grain drill for the small seed. Completely smooth inside. (Cut up a 25 foot hose)

Try ebay. I got several implement items for antiques which were priced right and the right part
