Rent our Tree Seedling Planter
The Forrester is a heavy-duty planting machine designed to provide an economical means of planting thousands of seedlings. Many years of planting experience have contributed to the overall efficiency and durability of this low-cost planting unit. A simple design and quickly replaceable “wearing parts” help to reduce downtime. The Forrester attaches to the 3 point hitch of tractors with category 1 and 2 hitches. Approximately 25 horsepower required depending on soil conditions. Weight about 500 pounds.

Double disc furrow openers and depth bands optimize seed placement and seed to soil contact.
Multiple seed boxes give you the flexibility to seed native fluffy seeds, cool season species, small grains, legumes, and wildflowers.
Planting can be accomplished as no-till and interseeding in most conditions, from hard pastures and roadsides to crop residue and cover crops, as well as on a prepared seedbed
