Professional grass seeding & lawn renovation
Put seed down evenly — and combine seeding with soil preparation.
The Kersten ASS 090 mechanical seeder gives grounds teams a controlled way to distribute grass seed. Pair it with the KE-Series power harrow to prepare the seedbed and meter seed onto the freshly worked soil in the same operation.
ASS 090 mechanical seeder
More control than throwing seed by hand — without turning seeding into a separate specialist operation.
The ASS 090 carries seed in a generous hopper and meters it onto the ground as the machine travels. A guide wheel connected to the roller adjusts output in relation to machine speed, helping maintain a more even application across the working area.

ASS 090 Seeder
Designed for professional grass establishment and renovation where consistent seed distribution and repeatable setup are more important than simply broadcasting seed across the surface.
- Load seed directly into the hopper at the work area.
- Fine-adjust the seeding rate using the setting lever.
- Machine-speed-related metering helps maintain an even dispersal rate.
- Use with the KE power harrow when soil preparation and seeding need to happen together.
A more efficient renovation workflow
Prepare the seedbed and place seed while the surface is freshly worked.
Pairing the ASS 090 with a KE-Series power harrow reduces the need to prepare the ground in one operation and return later with separate seeding equipment. The aim is a more controlled sequence with fewer passes over the area.
Prepare
The power harrow works and levels exposed soil to create a fine, consistent seedbed at the required working depth.
Meter
The ASS 090 uses its adjustable setting lever and guide-wheel drive to control how much seed is released as travel speed changes.
Seed
Seed drops behind the harrow onto the freshly prepared soil, keeping cultivation and seeding together in one working sequence.
Where it fits
Choose a seeding system around the condition of the ground, not just the size of the area.
The ASS 090 is most useful where you want repeatable seed placement from a professional pedestrian platform — especially when the ground is already being renovated or prepared.
New grass establishment
Use the seeder after the ground has been prepared so seed is distributed over a consistent surface rather than thrown onto clods, hollows or compacted ground.
Renovation & repair
For worn lawns, verges, amenity areas and repaired ground, combine preparation and seeding where the existing surface needs more than simple overseeding.
Professional repeatability
Mechanical metering makes it easier to work to a chosen setting and repeat the process across larger or multiple sites than relying on hand broadcasting alone.
The natural companion
Add the seeder when the job starts with soil preparation.
The KE-Series power harrows are designed to create a fine, level seedbed. Adding the ASS 090 turns that preparation stage into a combined cultivation-and-seeding operation.
KE-Series power harrows
Prepare first when the existing surface is too poor for simple overseeding.
A seeder cannot correct compaction, lumps, hollows or poorly prepared soil by itself. Where the site needs to be reworked, the power harrow prepares the surface and the ASS 090 then places seed directly onto that freshly worked ground.
- KE-Series working widths run from 75 to 125 cm.
- Working depth can be adjusted for the preparation task.
- The seeding attachment can be used with the power harrow to carry out both jobs in the same operation.
Common questions
Before choosing the seeding setup
Can the ASS 090 be used with a Kersten power harrow?
Yes. Kersten describes the ASS 090 as a seeder designed to work in conjunction with the KE-Series power harrow, allowing soil preparation and seeding to be carried out in the same operation.
How does the seeder control the application rate?
The seeding rate can be adjusted using a setting lever. A guide wheel connected to the roller changes the seeder output in relation to machine speed, helping maintain more even seed dispersal.
How much seed does the hopper hold?
The ASS 090 has a 57-litre seed hopper.
Which Kersten machines can use the ASS 090?
Kersten's current pedestrian catalogue lists the ASS 090 for UBS Hydro 13, UBS Hydro 16 and UBS Alpin 23 / Alpin 23 Pro. Confirm the final attachment combination with Kersten UK before ordering.
Do I need a power harrow for every seeding job?
No. The important question is the condition of the ground. If the surface is already suitable for seed, extensive cultivation may not be necessary. If it is uneven, damaged or needs re-establishment, preparing a consistent seedbed before seeding becomes much more important.
