Katherine, these can be bought rather cheap now days as folks that still use them have moved on to bigger and not necessarily better units. With the water added at setting time you can also put on chemicals to control bugs and disease. There are lots of these in the tobacco belt(KY,NC,TN and so on). I suspect that in big vegetable areas they are abundant as well. New parts are available for them. I think you can travel a little and buy one cheaper than you could ever rig one up. As stated one person to each seat and plants are placed in the rubber fingers with the roots toward the seat and the machine sets them at a distance that can be regulated by changing sprockets. The big red wheels turn the machine and does everything except placing the plants in the rubber fingers. The one pictured is a one row unit. They can be had in one, two, four, and six row models. They will set any type of plants like tomatoes,cabbage,broccoli,peppers and almost any seedling plant. Plants should be 8 to 12 inches tall for transplanting. I have used these all my life to set tobacco and garden plants with. The Mechanical brand is the best there is in my opinion. I have used others as well and like the Mechanical best.
