It will work OK. You will need to train your people to position the plug properly in the fingers, too high and the plant will sit on top of the furrow, too low and too much will be buried. A rotary transplanter is much easier to use and does a better job, but the finger transplanter will be miles ahead of setting plants by hand.

I am thinking about getting a used working good condition tobacco setter for doing a bulk amount of peppers in 2012. Asking price is 150.00 and I figure at that price and the shape its in and the proximity to my farm that it would be a good deal. Has anyone used one to do peppers or tomatoes? I know there are better designs for doing this, but I am looking to experiment and not drop thousands doing so. Its a single row Powell with good fingers and a water tank and 2 seats.Richard StewartCarriage House FarmNorth Bend, OhioAn Ohio Century Farm Est. 1855
