About this product
How the Potato Planter works
The potato planter makes the ridges and sows the seed potatoes in one operation, with farm hands helping to feed the seed. It is a straightforward way to move from slow hand planting to a mechanical rhythm without a complicated machine.
At full pace the planter can sow roughly 0.3 hectares an hour. Tell us your row spacing and tractor, and we will confirm the working width and power requirement for the current model.
Cut or select seed potatoes to a regular size and let any cut surfaces dry before planting. The planter works best with help on the seat to feed seed, and an experienced crew can reach roughly 0.3 hectares an hour. Ask us for the working width and tractor power of the current model.
Before you buy the Potato Planter
For growers who plant a few hectares of potatoes each year, a planter that forms the ridge and sows in one pass is a big saving in time. Choose seed tubers of fairly even size, and check your tractor's power and hitch before you order.
