Transplanters

Commercial growers of crops like cabbage, lettuce, hemp, and tomatoes use transplanting machines to let operators feed plug plants (seedlings grown in trays) into a machine that efficiently transplants the young, clod-rooted plants in the field. Transplant equipment is often adjustable to suit the differing sizes of seedlings, while others might be specially designed for certain bulb plants, root vegetables (like carrots), or tubers.

Sod Removal & Installation

Sod equipment is often designed for use with a planting technique called sprigging, where stems are removed from mature sod and the cuttings are replaced in a different location. The Other Planting Equipment category features machines to perform both sod removal and harvesting, as well as planters designed to broadcast the sprigs into a prepared soil bed. Planting sprigs can be a more cost-effective way to rapidly establish grass, especially bermudagrass, than seeding or sodding. The technique is often used at golf courses and when growing grass for sports fields.

Cover Crops & Plots

Here you’ll find both spreaders for cover crops and food plot machines. Spreaders are often used in combination with a cultivator for efficient, one-pass seedbed preparation and planting and are well-suited to planting grasses and grains. Food plot planters likewise often possess 2-in-1 capability, so you can break up ground and plant your food plot in one pass.

Tape Planters

Seed tapes have been used in home gardens to help gardeners save time and perfectly space out vegetable crops, such as beets, carrots, and lettuce. The method is now available on a larger scale for commercial growers with large seed tape planting machines that hold entire trays of seed tape. The seed tape planting technique is sometimes used by nurseries to optimize square footage and increase uniformity and yield.
