* Depth of planting
There are 4 rubber depth wheels mounted under the
planter chassis, to accurately maintain the seedling planting depth
* Total seedling
Control
The whole concept of the design from pickers through to coulter is one
of total seedling control. Every mechanical section, from the tray to the delivery
coulter, holds the module so it is totally under the planter’s robotic
control. This contributes greatly to the speed, spacing accuracy and ground positioning
of the seedlings

STANDARD TRAYS
The PEARSON AUTOPLANTER has been designed
to use standard sizes of rigid plastic trays. Chances are your standard trays
will fit thus avoiding the considerable investment in bespoke (specially designed)
trays - potentially at a premium price when compared to standard trays |
