Is it a finger-type transplanter, where the person sitting on the
transplanter places the transplant in the open fingers as they come around
the wheel? I haven't used one in a long time but I remember having to have a
consistent approach, placing the transplant in the same place in the finger
each time. The setting just adjust for how far the fingers make it into the
furrow. If the transplants aren't set into the fingers in the same position
each time, the plants will be set at different depths.
