Pillar is dedicated to advancing no-till farming with precision-engineered air seeders designed for optimal seed placement, residue management, and efficiency. Our durable, high-performance equipment helps maximize yields while reducing input costs—delivering unmatched results in the field.
Founded in 2005 in rural Saskatchewan, Pillar was built on a mission to enhance dryland farming profitability through precise seed and fertilizer placement. Today, our dedication to innovation and customer success remains at the heart of everything we do.
A Pillar air seeder enhances seeding accuracy while managing more residue for better field performance. Effective residue management improves moisture retention, reduces erosion, and minimizes tillage—cutting costs and boosting profitability for dryland farmers.
We seed in the hills and love the independent openers. They have spring down pressure, which means we didn’t need to run a tractor with 120 gallons per minute of oil flow. With our old drill, the front end would seed too deep, and the back end wouldn’t seed enough. But this one, with its 8 ½’’ stroke, seeds as evenly as possible.”
Pillar is a farmer-focused manufacturer dedicated to designing and building innovative air seeders that maximize efficiency and profitability. Founded in 2005 in rural Saskatchewan, we prioritize precise seed and fertilizer placement, superior residue management, and long-lasting equipment to support the success of modern dryland farmers.

We built this drill for the farmer who wants a simple, reliable, and effective drill.
Our largest drill, the SF is for the farmer with hilly land or restrictions on transportation.
One of the biggest variable costs on a farm today is equipment maintenance. No matter what kind of equipment you run, it will at some point require some level of investment to keep it running.

Book a DemoYes it does. Most of the testing on the Disc/Hoe opener was done in rocky land around the Lloydminster area. The disc will roll over the stones instead of pulling them out, so you don’t have to spend time picking stones.
The average and recommended seeding speed is 5.5-6.5 mph depending on field conditions. If you have a lot of stones on your land you will want to go slower.
Yes, we can seed canola with great results even at the higher seeding speeds.
Yes, the Pillar will do an excellent job in these condition with very little disturbance.
On an average stubble field at the recommended seeding speed you will see a little black strip above the seed row. In the sod you will see less disturbance than in the stubble. Disturbance will be less than a ¾” knife on a hoe drill.
This varies for everyone. Soil type, seeding speed, and maintaining seed and fertilizer separation will all affect your wear. Most farmers are reporting that they wear off two discs for one seed boot. In the tire tracks it wears a little faster.
Heavy residue is where this opener shines. It will place your seed into the ground into a clean seed bed.
