Superior transplanters
               for particular growers
"No grower too big or too small"
    Water wheel planters are popular and most practical to plant cells (transplants, plugs, bare root, etc) through plastic mulch. The steel water wheel gently rolls on top of plastic mulch and features add-on steel punches to punch through the plastic, form a hole and deliver water through the drain hole in the water wheel. Planting personnel, seated on back, place plants in the ground by hand. Efficiency allows planting speeds comparable to mechanical transplanters - and at a very attractive price.
    Growers have also found water wheels can be better than mechanical transplanters on bare ground (no plastic mulch). The "hand touch" makes the difference. No need for additional labor to walk behind the planter.
    Also plant seeds by hand, which is handy for smaller growers or to avoid the considerable expense of the up-and-coming seed planters that plant through plastic mulch.
    This is the planter line with no limits. Row spacing and plant spacing is easily changeable. Easily add, remove and change plant punch sizes on the water wheel. Quickly accommodate different cell sizes or different soil conditions.
    The adjustable frame allows gauge wheel adjustment for any mulch width, any bed width, any furrow width and any row spacing. This accommodates large and small tractors, wider mulch for more weed control or more fruit protection, narrow furrows, a guidance system or close row spacing without driving on the plastic.
    Our planters will match your system and most models are expandable to grow with your operation.
