Potato planter

The tuber is placed into the planter-beak and penetrated into the ground by means of stepping on the planter base with the foot.

The handle is then angled, thus opening the base and allowing the tubing to be planted into the soil.

An automatic planter is hitched behind a farm tractor with a three-point linkage and towed.

Cups lift seed potatoes from a hopper and drop them in tubes, planting up to eight drills at a time.
