What is the price of this machine?
The final price is decided by our local dealers who are the ones making the sale and providing service and parts. As an indication, the price will be somewhere around €700,000 for the PlantMax unit (planting unit and MidiFlex/subsoiler), the forwarder carrier is not included in that price.
What is the productivity?
Productivity varies depending on a number of factors and it’s difficult to give a good answer, the technical capacity is around 3000 seedlings/hour during actual continuous planting, which means that depending on the conditions and methods used it will end up somewhere between 1000-2500 seedlings per hour.
Distance between seedlings, how fast the machine can travel in the terrain while preparing the ground and the size and shape of the area will have an impact on productivity, along with seedling logistics around the machine etc.

What about operating costs?
Generally speaking the cost for fuel and spare parts will be similar to a large wheeled harvester.
Can it be fit to other carriers?
PlantMax is compatible with many different makes and models, such as the Eco Log 574/584, Ponsse Buffalo/Buffalo King, and other machines with similar specifications. PlantMax is not limited to a specific brand or model. We will need to work with the local service provider for the carrier so check with your local dealer and ask them to contact us for more information and compatibility with other brands and models.
