Does anyone have any plans, drawings, or photos of a vegetable transplanter? I am planning on building one and any information would save time in design and construction. Thanks. Scott.

Pepper Boy, Old Country Boy is correct, here in NW Mo (or anywhere else tobacco is raised) you can find either 1 or 2 row, 3pt or hydraulic, tobacco setters at most farm sales. Last summer I saw a 2 row MT tobacco setter with poly saddle tanks (field ready) sell for $80. 8-10 years ago the same setter would have brought $2,000. We've used our setter for years planting garden, tomato plants, pepper plants, sweet corn seed,bean seed, etc. Works great!!!

You can buy them cheeper than you can build them. Drive around you might find one behind a barn with rusted out water tanks - $50 or $100 later and you have the planter. Go get a couple old 55 galon drums to use as water tanks and your done. The old ones are real tough and don't rust out/break easy.

May farms have switching to plastic mulch and usw a plastic laying machine and waterwheel planter. Really saves on the labor required for weeding and a lot more comftorable than the old ones I sat on when I was a kid. You can also lay a drip line for irrigation at the same time. The water wheel planter is around $2,000 and the plastic layer - cheep one a little less.

Depends on size of rig you are driving. Check out
KENCO. They got some neat stuff. I am looking for the micro unit to run behind my Oliver 550 Dsl.

I was being a little smart and discussion has ranged from transplanter to seed planters. The guys between here and town have an 8 row and I think it has Cole units on it. Carrots are there main crops Of course none of this stuff is 3 point. For transplanters the Holland was popular here for tomatoes. That has changed from two row wide to to narrow rows planted on beds. I think most of them have been cut up. We have less than 5 peper growers in the county. This is in northwest Ohio. I will ask my brother-inlaw next week what he used to use for a peper planter. And that is in AZ.
