[Market-farming] Transplanters

Yet another question on the carousel style transplanters.  In comparing 
the Mechanical Transplanters to other manufacturers, such as Holland and 
RJ I see that Holland and RJ include a coulter in front of the planting 
shoe, while the Mechanical doesn't have the coulter.  I have also been 
told that the drive wheel on all of these planters can pack the soil and 
make it difficult for the shoe to cut a good furrow. 

Does anyone have comparative experience with these planters, especially 
in a prepared sandy loam?
