2020 Checchi & Magli Wolf Pro Planter

Orchard and vineyard planters in particular are modified to create deeper and wider trenches, sometimes up to 24 inches deep and 9 in. wide (61 centimeters deep and 23 cm wide), to accommodate the larger root systems of trees and vines. In some cases, they can even plant live plants rather than just seeds. But these highly specialized planters sometimes require manual seed or plant placement, as opposed to the fully automated seed placement that a standard planter can perform at high speed.

However, there are certain models, such as the semi-automatic Checchi & Magli F300L, that enable efficient and automated planting without manual seed dropping for each plant.

What To Look For When Buying A Specialty Planter

Choosing the right planter for specialty crops is all about maximizing your time in the field and minimizing the amount of time you spend on prep and maintenance. To run the most efficient operation you can, find a planter that is built to handle live plants, allowing for careful placement and adjustment of each plant to ensure proper root distribution and correct planting height for tree and vine establishment.

Choosing a planter that can handle different soil conditions and is compatible with your chosen vine varieties and training systems is critical. There is also software for plot management, allowing you to document your vineyard or orchard layout and optimize planting for yield and accessibility.

The Checchi & Magli Transplanter Wolf Pro, for instance, is highly flexible, equipped with a continuously rotating, perforating cup distributor. It works with or without biodegradable mulching film and is right at home in heavy soil. Designed for professional use, the unit also has compacting wheels and a synchronized rear electric watering device for single-pass efficiency.
