I have been using one since 2009. I cultivate by hand and tend to make shorter beds. Most of my beds are 4 rows wide and 88 - 132 ft. long. 88' is the length of a 4" paperpot tray and 132 is a 6" paperpot tray. If your soil is stony, it will be difficult to pull the transplanter straight enough to reliably cultivate a multirow bed with a G.

JenThe cost of the unit itself seems very reasonable but the paper pots themselves are expensive. I think it will be a good investment in the long run as long as I can still cultivate with the G.Our beds are 300' long and we currently mark our planting lines with clamps attached to the back of our raised bed maker. We cultivate with our Allis chalmers G tractor so planting straight is very important. Is anyone using the paper pot transplanter and then coming along and cultivating with a G? Do you find its fairly easy to pull the transplanter to keep in the straight line?Hi all,I've read a few old posts about the paper pot transplanters. Its something quite new to me and I'm interested to know how folks are liking them.
Any advice from seasoned users out there?? Thanks in advance,
