Transplanter:

Simple Definition:

A transplanter is an agricultural machine used for transplanting seedlings to the field. This is very important as it reduces the time taken to transplant seedlings (when compared to manual transplanting), thus allowing more time for harvesting. It also reduces the use of manual energy.

How does it works?

The transplanters are towed, driven or self-propelled agricultural machines, which allow the planting of seedlings coming from the seedling - trays. 

Make the distance between one seedling and the other and the transplant depth accurate to the millimetre; Speed up the whole process and maximise hourly output.
