General description
This work vehicle is designed and built for planting seed-
lings of various kinds (e.g. horticultural, floral, tobacco,
nursery-grown, etc.), rooted in conical or pyramid-
shaped root balls, including small plants with hardly de-
veloped leaf apparatus (see "Seedling size").
The work vehicle is a semi-carried device, equipped with
a frame for attachment to the three-point hitch on a
tractor and it is suitable for planting in fields and green-

The moving parts (dispenser, ejector, etc.) are driven
by the works vehicle's driving wheels (when these are
touching the ground) and the movement of the tractor.
The seedling falls from the dispenser into the furrow cre-
ated by the ploughshare and the packing wheels fill back
up and compact the soil around the seedling root ball.
The work vehicle is manufactured in several models
which differ mainly in terms of number of planting units
featured and number of cups in the dispensing unit.

Q) Dispensing unit with cups that open (as alternative
to the drag dispensing unit)

use on spongy or sandy soil
S) Driving wheel with Rapid Shift change
The driving wheel with Rapid Shift change is fitted as
an alternative to the driving wheel.
