I had no luck with the hatfield, as it did not properly sink the txp in and I would have to go after and do it by hand, so basically it was a waste of time.  It requires two people to do the work of one. 

I sent it back.

Youtube had other videos that could be selected when I brought the Japanese one up and so I looked at Johnny's Hatfield Transplanter.  I believe a while back we may have had some discussion on that....but now that is has been out on the market for a while, I'm wondering if there are experiences with it that you could share, particularly around this concept of "if the ground is prepared properly".   I assume the softer and fluffier the better, but can it work around pebbles, clods, the hidden mallow root, etc?

I use one of the paperpot transplanters also and it is a slick little machine if the ground is prepared properly.
