This tractor mounted machine is capable of planting any trees or whips etc that will go into a 3” – 9” groove. The planter also leaves the young trees or whips standing straight and well firmed in, thus minimising heeling in after planting. This is a robust machine, designed to last and last!

For lifting leeks, radishes, parsnips, nursery tree seedlings etc., an adjustable vibrating bar reduces draft and increases soil agitation. The bar oscillates from the centre. The Flat bar undercutter is a simple robust machine that works well under poor conditions, including wet ground and very dry, hard ground. It leaves the crop standing in the ground in much the same position as before undercutting as is required for leeks, spring onions, etc. The machine comes as a simple flat bar or with digger teeth added for extra agitation.

The Plastic Hole cutting machine is designed to save time on marking out and cutting out plastic sheeting.It is more precise than hand cutting in ensuring spaces are even, and gives a clean cut without leaving loose flaps which are vulnerable to being caught by the wind. The angled wheels run along the sides of the raised bed to keep the machine level and square and to prevent misses, whilst the cutting unit ‘floats’ to follow the contours of the bed. Its main use is on plastic sheet used to cover fumigated land.

The Bulk Bin is a purpose built unit designed mainly for the handling of bulk bags of compost. Loose compost is also easily managed with the help of a front loading tractor no more shovelling. Once the hopper is loaded the unit can be started by either an on/off switch, foot switch or a compost sensor to start the chain and flight conveyer and so load your potting bench or potting machine with compost. The conveyer system incorporated in the hopper is a chain and flight style rather than belt: this ensures contact with the compost and minimizes the chance of bridging or blocking. The whole unit can be easily moved around the nursery by lifting with a fork-lift by way of the fork sleeves mounted under the machine. Feeding a cross conveyor (we can tailor design your bin, be it hopper capacity, conveyor width or discharge height.
