Setting the Standard... Since 1927

If you have the job of transplanting small seedlings, and want to get the job done fast, and right… look to the long experience behind every Holland Transplanter. You can have your choice of single row units, or multi-row units, tractor mounted or tractor drawn. Holland does it all: digging the furrow, placing the plant in the soil, giving it a shot of water and fertilizer, and then repacking the soil back around the roots… faster and better than can be done by hand.  

The Lineup

Rotary One: In a League of its Own

Rotary One

Number One in the Field.

For planting greenhouse tray plug plants, our rotary planting unit is number one in its field. That’s why we call it the Rotary One. With only one operator, this efficient machine will plant more than 60 plants per minute. After an initial setting is made to fit your desired depth and plant spacing, plants are dropped into the rotating cups and the planter does the rest. Spacing and plant depth are both very uniform. This transplanter can be used as a single row unit mounted on a three point hitch, or any number of units can be mounted onto either a toolbar or a tractor-drawn main frame. In addition to the many standard features, available options include coulter blades, cultivator attachments, different plant holding trays and your choice of seats.

Features

Conventional Transplanters

Quality design, workmanship and materials have made our conventional bare root transplanters the proven leaders for over 65 years. These three models can plant over 50 plants per minute, depending on plant spacings. Two operators feed the seedlings into rubber grippers which hold and protect the plant as it is guided into the furrow. A variety of optional plant holders are available for different type of seedlings. There is also an optional holder for your small greenhouse cell plants. Field spacing adjustments are easily made by changing sprockets.

To give plenty of clearance at row ends, hydraulics will raise the entire frame (including all planters and attachments).

For larger acreage the Model 1304HC Main Frame is a rugged tractor drawn model. It is made to hold three or four Rotary One or conventional planting units, and can carry two optional 300 gallon water barrels as well as 800 pounds of fertilizer in the optional fertilizer attachments. Like the 1302HC it can also be raised at the end of each row, to give clearance during turning.
