Good soil conditions

The key to a good start is ensuring that young trees, shrubs, and other plantings can root properly. Mulching is essential to keep the terrain clean and level for effective planting.

The soil deep tiller creates a strip of loose soil approximately 40 cm wide and up to 30 cm deep. Existing roots, branches, and shoots are maximally reduced in size.

Operation of the Hunter PlantFlex

  1. The soil deep tiller throws the loosened soil against the planting plowshare.
  2. Young plants are placed into the 'open' rear side of the planting plowshare.
  3. The saplings are released into the loose soil at the right moment as the machine moves forward.
  4.  The planting trench fills with loose soil around the new plants.
  5. The large trapezium-shaped pressing wheels compact the loose soil around the young plants.
  6. Two adjustable coulter discs level the soil.
  7. After planting, the soil around the plant is pressed down by foot.

Maximum capacity

The desired spacing between plants can be set manually. The planting distance and driving speed determine whether one or two people are needed on the PlantFlex. The maximum capacity with two operators and a planting distance of one meter is up to approximately 1,000 plants per hour.

Construction of the
Hunter PlantFlex

  • The soil deep tiller is robustly built to handle highly variable loads.

  • The planting plow creates a planting furrow approximately 12 cm wide and can be hydraulically adjusted in working depth by the tractor operator to a depth of 33 cm.

  • The planting plowshare is made of Hardox and is adjustable to a few centimeters below the tilling depth.

  • The PlantFlex is modular and can be disassembled.

Work and seating comfort

Operators benefit from maximum seating comfort with individually adjustable, spring-loaded seats. They are protected from rain (and falling branches) by the roof. The two plant storage bins are positioned on the sides and are adjustable for optimal working comfort.

Isobus connection

(for adjustable planting distance notification)

The Isobus connection transmits data from the tractor to the PlantFlex via GPS. The GPS provides precise location data, enabling the PlantFlex to receive a signal for planting. The planting distance can be adjusted remotely. The notification can be transmitted via a light, a buzzer, or both, from the tractor to the PlantFlex. Planting with GPS ensures maximum accuracy.
