Hand Operated Smart Transplanting Machine

Transplanting is a method of planting that only requires the use of pre-grown plants, seedlings, vegetatively propagated clones for field planting. Transplanting method gives higher yield and operation is less time consuming, and the low number of seeds are needed. A hand operating type of smart transplanter was developed to address issues in existing transplanting machines. Newly developed transplanter consists of plant hole punching device/depositor and plant roots covering header. The Plant hole punching device is designed specially to fulfil the requirements of suitable for different hard soil conditions and soil covering header can cover the roots from the soil for better resting to obtain good quality. Seedlings and sprouts (potato) transplanting can be done as desired. It is operated mainly by a cable pulling system which connected with the depositor and soil covering handles. Two levers were used for attached cables and pull. There is a specified mechanism for increasing cables pulling length.
