Transplanter

Transplanters greatly reduce time required to transplant seedlings compared to manual transplanting.

Among the crops that are transplanted with transplanters are strawberries, vegetables, tomatoes, cabbages, tobacco and rice.

Semi-automatic mechanical transplanters are a common type, which can be self-propelled, or towed by a tractor at a low speed.

A row of three to six operators feed seedlings from germination trays into hoppers which feed into the delivery mechanism.
