About second-hand Super Prefer machines

Super Prefer planting machines are simple and reliable planting systems with an accurate planting interval. Because of this the Super Prefer planting machine has been used successfully for many years for planting strawberries, leeks, cabbages, tobacco and various flower crops.

Different types of chassis with various versions of planting elements and planting wheels make the Super Prefer planting machine exceptionally versatile. Any type of plant, with or without roots and with or without leaves, up to a length of 30 cm can be planted by the Super Prefer. Quite often these machines are used as strawberry planting machines.

How the Super Prefer planting machine works

The gripper on the planting wheel moves up while open. The plant is laid in the open gripper with slight pressure and the gripper closes independently. The plant arrives via the planting wheel in the scissor-opening channel. The gripper releases the plant as soon as the roots are in the soil. The pressure rollers placed in V-formation press the earth down on both sides of the plant so that the plant can grow and the roots cannot dry out.

Planting interval

Both the interval between the plants and between the rows can be adjusted on the Super Prefer planting machines. This also applies to the planting depth. The distance between the rows can be adjusted steplessly by moving the planting elements. The distance within the rows is determined by the number of grippers in combination with cog wheel used. It is possible to plant at intervals between 6 cm and 90 cm.

The planting elements on the Super Prefer planting machines can be driven by two different methods. There are planting machines with central drive via both wheels, the planting wheels are moved by means of chains from the central drive. But there are also planting machines where the plant wheels are driven per element via the pressure wheels. The drive speed for both drive systems depends on the planting interval so that all the plants in one row are planted at equal intervals.
