Onion planter: precise and adjustable

An onion planter is specifically designed for the precise planting of onion sets. The onions are guided evenly from a supply bunker via conveyor belts and vibrating chutes to the planting shoes. These planting shoes make a furrow in the soil in which the onions are planted at a constant distance apart. Thanks to adjustable dosing belts driven by the machine’s wheels, the supply remains constant – regardless of driving speed. Since most planters have adjustable speeds, the desired planting density can be easily selected.

Bulb planter for various types of bulb crops

A bulb planter works according to a similar principle and is often suitable for multiple bulb and tuber crops. Think of flower bulbs but also shallots or garlic. Here too, dosing systems, planting shoes, and ridging discs ensure a precise planting process. The machines are versatile and available in different working widths and row spacings, depending on the type and size of the bulbs.

Buying a bulb planter? Pay attention to the right version

Choosing the right bulb planter depends on your specific crop and the size of your field. Pay attention to the number of rows, working width, and adjustment options for planting depth and density. Second-hand machines are often still in excellent condition and offer an economical alternative to new ones. In the machine descriptions, you can read exactly which crops are suitable for which version.

Flower bulb planter: suitable for different types of bulbs

With a used flower bulb planter, various types of flower bulbs can be planted. Thanks to adjustable depth, row spacing, and dosing, planting can be adapted to the type of bulb and soil conditions. The machines ensure efficient field operations, saving labor and improving the quality of planting.

Due to their extensive adjustability, flower bulb planters are ideal for growers who regularly switch crops.

Mechanical planting? Choose the right machine

For those who want to plant onions or flower bulbs mechanically, a well-adjustable and reliable planter is indispensable. The machines on this page offer various possibilities, depending on the crop and desired capacity. Whether you want to plant bulbs, onions, garlic, or shallots: we have the right machine in stock. A few important points to consider are:

Number of rows & working width

Check whether the machine matches the row spacing of your crop and the size of your fields. A wider working width can increase capacity but also requires a more powerful tractor.

Adjustable planting depth and spacing

Many planters offer precise settings for planting depth and spacing, tailored to the type of bulb or onion you want to plant. However, this does not apply to all models, so if this is important to you, make sure to pay extra attention to adjustability.

Suitability for different crops

Some machines can be used universally (for onions, flower bulbs, shallots, garlic), while others are specifically designed for one crop. Check whether the machine matches your crops.
