Planting principle: 

• The plant is placed correctly on the supply belt by the planter. 
• The conveyor belt places the leek correctly between a metal disc and a rubber flexible disc.
• The discs bring the leek plant into the plought / coulter and it is released.
• Immediately the plant is pressed firmly by the pressure wheels. 
• The machine runs on wheels which determine the speed of the planting discs driven by the tractor hydraulics by means of a chain transmission, so that the disc speed remains the same as the driving speed. 
• Planting distance is determined by the chain transmission between disc and feed belt.

Benefits of Basrijs leek planting machine: 

• Good working positoin. 
• Weight of the planting person doesn’t influence pressing of the plants. 
• Less spare parts needed.

• Planting shallow at 5 cm planting depth.
• Minimal row distance 45 cm.

• Maximum planting depth 15 cm, normally 12 cm in wide furrow of 5 cm depth.
