Transplanting wears you out
Planting thousands of plugs on your knees or bent double is one of the most tiring jobs in market gardening. Behind a tractor, you also need a driver and trips back and forth to reload transplants.
Plant sitting or lying down, with transplants within reach
- Planting seats on the Straddler: up to 4 people plant at the same time, thanks to the side extensions.
- Work beds for planting lying down, on both the Straddler and the Broco'lit.
- Transplants on board: the trays travel on the machine, and the Broco'lit carries up to 15 crates of transplants.
- Regulated speed from 10 to 700 m/h, and camera guidance on the Straddler: nobody needs to drive.
Into mulch film too
Planting can be combined with laying mulch film and with dibbler wheels that punch the planting holes. See our page on mulching in market gardening.
