Nice back and joint saver! Your baby is a doll! So, cute.

Hi Phil! I enjoyed seeing the whole family involved in the tree planting as well as seeing your mechanical transplanter in operation! Neat stuff! I hope you seedlings do really well! Thanks for sharing!

The planter appears to have worked great! What a huge time saver and back saver.

Awesome machine. Great to see the whole family come together to build their dream. Also very good explanations on the process.

It’s crazy it’s almost Christmas season again. Won’t be long til Home Depot, wal mart and Lowes have the decorations out

A couple of tips from me if you're interested in tree placement / survivability / quality. #1. If you are butting up against a wooded area / fence line, your norway spruce should go in the first 75-100 feet of each row. They will do the best as far as filling out and giving you a marketable tree. Pine and fir will make a mostly one sided tree in these areas. #2. Great call in moving the concolor fir before planting. Fir trees require the very best dirt on your farm. #3. When interplanting trees to replace dead ones from previous years, we only go 2-3 years with fir into a fir row. If they don't take after 2 or 3 tries, we default to white pine. They grow fast enough to catch up with the rotation plan of the older surviving fir trees and are very marketable as cut Christmas Trees or landscape trees that are dug up. If you want to know more about how digging trees can benefit your bottom line, give me a call.

Now that's how you get the job done. Excellent work team.

Nice planter. If it had a sod cutting wheel in front of your subsoiler the sod wouldn’t bunch up in untilled ground. Looking great out there.

How's she goin'? Lot of work and prep, but it turned out looking pretty nice!!! It's great to see the whole family taking part too!! Take care!!

thats a lot faster than using an auger! :) glad you got them all in!

Nice setup. Better then doing it by hand

Great video. Very helpful for us new tree farmers Thanks for showing off the planting machine. You may already have a video about it but could you share the product that you use to dip the roots in

Hey Phil, can you give an update on how your fall vs survival rates were?

Ban spray the year before planting and you will not have problems with your planter plugging up

How are you establishing the spacing within the row

Your seedlings look great. Where did you get them this year.

Very good. We didn’t have the transplanter.. we had a spade. Lol. Great job and indeed nice straight rows!

what is your spacing between rows?

Pretty slick. I must have missed it. Did you rent or borrow that planter??

That thing looks like it’s a time saver did ya buy it I must have missed a video. Nope didn’t miss one

Great video thank You. Do you have success doing fall planting? What nursery do you get your trees from. Who supplies you with trees in the fall. Thank You

Hi, the tiller you had behind that tractor to prep the ground looked tiny. Which is great. Because you're not tilling the entire field for no reason. You can plant narrow-ish rows and still leave grass between. Plus I bet it was no strain on that tractor at all. What make, model is that. Or if not, what approximate size tiller was it? I thought the smallest was 4' but that looks smaller (unless it's just an illusion, big tractor maybe).

what model of Kubota tractor did you use to pull the tree planter?

How did the L3901 operate with the transplanter attachment? Looking to buy a transplanter for my L3901 but want to make sure it has enough power. Thanks

Couple questions: does the transplanter have some sort of measuring device on it so you know how far apart the trees are? And, can you till in some wood chips to the clay filled rows to make some organic matter for planting next year?

what model transplanter? That seemed an important detail.

Hi, name/ model of planter? Want to plant 2-yr. Blueberry plants, 15-18" Above ground! Contact information 🙂

That’s cheating 😆
