1 Bed Transplanter Printable Catalog Page (opens a new window)
We manufacture a variety of transplanters which are very simple and reliable. Although they are most commonly used to set plants through plastic mulch, they can also be used on uncovered planting beds or bare, flat ground. Our design is very simple and versatile. A floating punch wheel rolls along the surface of the planting bed. The only pressure on the bed is from the weight of the punch wheel. Pivoting on a single hinge at the front of the machine, the punch wheel rises and drops with the terrain. The wheel always maintains contact with the planting bed until lifted by the tractor. Two types of punch wheels are available. The first punches a dry hole. The second punches a hole that is watered when it is formed. Most growers prefer the water wheel because it means the plant is set into a moist, watered hole for better survival. The wide variety of options that are available with Kennco transplanters make them a valuable tool for any produce grower using nursery plants in their production program. In its standard form, a single row transplanter is supplied with two seats for workers and a wheel frame that accommodates a single punch wheel. The seat frames include a tray stand for the tray being used and additional tray racks for extra trays. Single row transplanters are available with a 200 gallon (758 L) poly tank to carry a water supply or any other type of fertilizer mixture. The transplanter is plumbed so that the operator can adjust the volume of water supplied to the punch wheel and can turn the water supply off and on as needed. There are a variety of options available on our transplanters. Wheel frames can be modified to punch and set two or three rows of plants per planting bed. Extra tray racks can be added to carry additional trays, and to stack empty trays so they aren't left lying in the field. Additional seats can be added so that more workers can ride the equipment to increase the planting rate. Horizontally floating wheel frames are available to ensure perfect alignment on the planting bed.
