I have owned and used both Holland And Mechanical transplanters.Use to plant 115 acres a year of tomatoes from 1980 to 1997. By 1997 Hientz,Hunts and Campbell's had stopped contracting tomatoes here in the NW Ohio plants.First used a Holland 3 row.Steel packer wheels would slip driving unit.Next had a Mechanical with a atv tire ahead of unit driving unit with rubber tired packer wheels.Better.Next planter back to a Holland planting twin rows 14 inches apart 3 row. Took 6 units and 12 people riding.Ground drive from planter wheels.Best planter. These are bare root transplanters.All our tomato plants were grown in Georgia.They would be pulled packed in crates and shipped up here in 2 days. Faults of bare root plants.Transplanting set back,disease,unable to hold plants very long if rained out.
Last planter was a rotating carousal.Much better system.These planters use plug plants grown in plastic trays locally in greenhouses.Pluses.Short drive to pick up plants,plants take off faster,higher survival rate,less disease,able to hold through a rain out period. Those bare root planters are only worth the price of scrap here and the carousals not much more.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
