anyone built a 3pt tree planter

[rdln]

"I have the wheels and coulter disc,"

I think Laurencen is talking about seedling transplanter like the whitfield.

Equipment

I have used a single row behind my tractor and seems a ck20 (Not Real familiar with this model) would lift and pull it. might need lots of front ballast.

If laurencen would re post, then people would know what he is looking for, or if he found it, if you notice its been two months since the first post,

and then may be some one could help him some more. or post more pictures of what has been built or some ideas, at lest.

my guess he has his problem solved in some form, 04-22-2008, 04:19 PM

Hi All, sorry been busy working on the house, putting in a road, airstrip and trees, I wanted a quick way to plant seedlings around 8 inches, did get them in, made a knife on the 3pt, it sort of worked but could not get deep enough but the results I had got me thinking for next year,

I have a 60 inch spade for larger ones, lately me and the wife moved 60 scotch pines ranging from 10 foot to 18 feet tall a distance of 10 miles, took a wile. we made the mistake of tilling the area before we planted, now we have I assume alfalfa rampent,

We purchased a rake for the CK20, any tips how to get it to rake stones, it works but after a wile it plugs up, if we angle it enough to move them sideways the next pass is too much pull on the side, will have to take a few pictures next week when we are out there

The alfalfa is your friend. Its deep diving roots will bring up minerals from deep in the soil, open avenues for the tree roots to dive into, and aid in drainage.
