MODEL 1500
Quality design, workmanship and materials have made our conventional bare root transplanters the proven leaders in the field since 1927. These three models can plant over 50 plants per minute, depending on plant spacings. Two operators feed the seedlings into rubber grippers which hold and protect the plant as it is guided into the furrow. A variety of optional plant holders are available for different type of seedlings. There is also an optional holder for your small greenhouse cell plants. Field spacing adjustments are easily made by changing sprockets.
When equipped with a 3 point hitch and 55 gallon barrel, the Model 1500 is the most economical and versatile single row planter available.
