Plantma-X är anpassad efter svenska förhållanden med sin diskdrivna markberedare för att tackla den steniga terrängen. Planteringen är primärt tall och gran i små koppar, 1,6-2 meter mellan plantorna. Många delar av världen har planare och inte lika stenig mark och kan därför klara sig med en enklare basmaskin till planteringsaggregatet Plantma-X.

Med största sannolikhet är Plantma-X för sofistikerad och dyr för många marknader. Därför har vi tagit fram kit bestående av planteringsarmar och styrsystemet vilket inkluderar:

Hydraulik: Plantma-X levereras förbered med alla hydrauliska komponenter som krävs. Det du behöver göra är att koppla dessa till basmaskinen.

Compressed air: All necessary valves and hoses, as well as an air tank, are included in the frame.
Must be connected to the carrier.

Control system: All sensors are connected. The display and button pads can be included but need to be plugged into the system

What then has to be solved locally is:

  • Scarifier or no scarifier? Naturally we can supply a Midiflex scarifier if needed
  • How to feed the plants to the planting arms. We can supply the arms with the “cups” that feed the seedlings to the arm
  • The cab for the operator of the planting device,
  • The storage bin for the seedlings on the tractor and
  • The crane to load the storage bin

The idea of us delivering the arms and control systems as a package from us and then having the machine mounted locally has many advantages:

  • The carrier can be of a preferred brand, or even manufactured locally, adapted to the local conditions and market expectations. There are many ways to configure the complete machine, scarifier / no scarifier, distance between arms, how to feed the plants to the arms, water for each plant (requires a big tank), fertilizer for each plant and so on.
  • Much of the needed repair/service skills are available close to the machine as well as most spare parts.

The following specifications apply for the planting arms. If the machine is to be equipped with a scarifier, please see the manual for hydraulic needs for that equipment.

Basic ”kit”

The “heart” of Plantma-X is basically a frame with two planting arms mounted on the top beam.
Inside the frame, the necessary hydraulic valves, air valves and control systems are located. The complete frame also includes all hoses and wires mounted in the frame and on the arms, as well as a water tank (300 l)
Basic kit mounted on a forwarder Eco Log 574
There is also a short frame available, same components, but without water tank. Suits carriers that need a shorter mount.
On the Plantma-X a scarifier is mounted close to the center-joint of the carrier:
Is this necessary? Well, that depends on the requirements of the land-owner.
We can supply the complete unit including the control system and button pads.
