OUTLINE & Key-Point CHECKLIST:
There are 12 key items for optimal machine performance--
☐ 1) Well prepared/tilled ground.
☐ 2) Well prepared seedling/plug/clone.
☐ 3) Be sure you have the correct shoe size for your plugs/clones.
☐ 4) “IN THE ROW” SPACING - Make sure the “plant-to-plant” sprocket setting is correct
☐ 5) Ensure the machine is set/adjusted properly to begin.
☐ 5-A) 3-POINT LINKAGE - The 3 point linkage must be either vertical OR leaning slightly
toward the transplanter (NOT leaning toward the tractor).
☐ 5-B) DRIVE WHEELS - Lower or raise the drive wheels to the point where the parallelogram
(on each row - located close to the tool bar) is fairly level.
☐ 5-C) DOWN-PRESSURE SPRING FOR PACKING WHEELS
- tightening helps apply pressure to packing wheels

☐ 6) TIMING - A very important adjustment on the machine
☐ 7) PACKING WHEELS - Adjust the packing wheels
☐ 8) PLANT DEPTH - Adjust the depth gauge - which lowers or raises the packing wheels.
☐ 9) FRONT PRESS WHEELS - Adjust the front press wheels to where they touch ground
and provide some compaction.
☐ 10) WATER - be sure the water is hooked up to the valves on our machines and set correctly.
☐ 11) PLASTIC GUILLOTINE - this helps the plant fall straight down and not fall over
(oil this bearing daily during daily planting season)
☐ 12) OPERATOR WEIGHT ADJUSTMENT SPRING -adjust if one row is making a deeper furrow
than the others.
