One farm I've visited rigged a set of pressure washer nozzles to the framework around each water wheel. When the points would start to clog up with dirt, a rider on the machine could hit a valve and spray them clean. Nice bit of farmer innovation! Sure beats stopping at the end of each row and scraping them off with a putty knife.

Does anyone have any experiences using the water wheel type transplanters?We use a water wheel transplanter and really like it. The only problem we have is it will bulid up with dirt on the hole makers and if you don't clean them off the hole will get really big. This is only on really heavy soils like our clay loam.
Good? Bad? No different than a mechanical type?
