What to consider when purchasing a used planting machine?

When selecting a suitable planting machine, whether new or used, it is important to pay attention to the row spacing you want to plant (row distance) and the spacing between plants within the row (plant distance). While most planting machines have adjustable distances to some extent, the machine largely determines the spacing between rows and the plants being planted.

Additionally, when purchasing a used planting machine, it is crucial to ensure that it is still in good quality. One of the wear parts in planting machines, for example, is the plant coulters (also known as plant feet) that go through the soil. These are the parts our buyers examine when acquiring a machine.

Types of plants that can be planted with a planting machine

To determine which types of plants you can plant with a planting machine, you need to consider the type of young plants or seedlings you want to plant. The following types can be distinguished:

• Tray plants (Speedies): commonly used for vegetable plants such as cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts.
• Perspots (Square plug plants): used for lettuce, spring onion, and cabbage.
• Bare roots and potted plants: used for leek and tree nursery products.
• Bulbs: such as flower bulbs and planting onions.

Used planting machines can vary greatly from one another, with certain transplanting machines specifically developed for a particular type of crop. On the other hand, other planting machines are versatile and can be used for various purposes. If you are unsure which machine is best suited for your needs, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Plant spacing is independent of driving speed

What is common among most used planting machines is that a plant coulter creates a trench in the ground. Then, the planting mechanism places the plants in the trench, after which the planting furrow is filled and compacted with soil. In many cases, the planting machine is driven by a cage roller or wheel, allowing the plant spacing to be independent of the driving speed.
