Abstract. In southwest China, the complex terrain and heavy soil lead to the lacking of matching machines for maize planting because of the inadequacy of ordinary seeders. To solve this problem, a small maize planter with an independent driving wheel and stationary firming wheels was specially designed. The simulation analyses proved that the independent driving wheel provided reliable and sufficient power for transmission system. A field experiment was carried out. The experimental results showed that: the seeder can deal with the complex soil surface condition, the miss index was 4.44%, the multiple index was 10.5% and the quality-of-feed index (QFI) was 85.06%. The planter designed promoted maize mechanized planting in southwest China.
