Conventional and tree transplanters

Two people feed seedlings into rubber grippers as the machine plants over 50 plants per minute, the maker says, depending on spacing. Holland builds single row and multi-row units, tractor mounted or tractor drawn.

Rotary and hand planters

The Rotary One is a one-operator carousel planter for greenhouse plug plants. The Old Faithful is a one-row hand planter for smaller crops.

Mulch equipment

Holland's home page lists mulch equipment, and its Parts & Manuals page names these four machines. They are not in the Holland online store, so ask Holland or Clinton Tractor for details before you plan around them.

Holland Transplanter history

Ben Poll and his brothers Henry and Louis were frustrated by the slow results of planting celery by hand. They designed and built a small self propelled transplanter. The maker says it planted celery faster and better than hand planting.

The brothers quit farming and began the Holland Celery Planter Company, later renamed Holland Transplanter. Holland says its machines now plant crops such as strawberries, cauliflower, onions, lettuce and melons, with models for tree seedlings, tobacco and flowers.
