Planters and Transplanters

Planters and transplanters are, perhaps, among of the most revolutionary farming tools because they allow farmers to plant seeds and seedlings very quickly into prepared seedbeds, increasing their total yield of any given crop.

Transplanters are capable of planting multiple seedlings at a time. Depending on the growing zone a farmer is located in, certain plants must be started indoors in order to be ready for planting in the spring. Some transplanters are made for one or two people to sit in and load plants into the fingers while the really large commercial transplanters are designed to be operated by one person but can plant sixteen plants roughly every two seconds. It is easy to see how an implement such as this is an invaluable tool for any farmer, whether planting for just a family or commercially.

Planters are used for a similar purpose but instead of planting seedlings, they plant seeds. While for centuries, farmers planted seeds by hand, planters allow the process to be done much more efficiently which allows the farmer to plant many more seeds in the same amount of time.
