Hydroseeding is a technology that Finn Corp. pioneered over 50 years ago. Finn hydroseeders are either pulled on a trailer or truck-mounted. Basically, they consist of a tank with a hydraulically driven agitator. The user fills the tank with water, grass seed, fertilizer and a tackifier (a biodegradable wood-and-paper mixture that holds the grass seed in place until the seed can germinate). This mixture is then sprayed into the soil.
The company wanted to build a stronger and safer fuel tank on its T90 HydroSeeder as a customer service. So it contacted Meese Orbitron Dunne Co. (Saddlebrook, NJ), a plastics design and molding firm. Meese Orbitron Dunne developed a rotationally molded plastic fuel tank to replace the existing steel tank.
