Mechanical planting

Efficiently and accurately planting bulbs under sod.

Planting Bulbs with a Machine

At JUB Holland, we offer a fast and efficient method for planting large quantities of bulbs: mechanized planting. Our planting machines enable us to plant bulbs directly under the sod in road verges, lawns, roundabouts, and other public spaces. This process is not only cost-effective but also ensures a neat and tidy result.

The Planting machine

Our planting machines combine speed with precision. Our planting combination consists of a (mini) tractor with the planting machine attached behind it. The bulbs are loaded into a hopper and conveyed via a conveyor belt to the planting feet. These planting feet have vertically rotating blades that cut through the sod. While the planting feet create a groove in the ground to accurately plant the bulbs.

Immediately after planting, the sod is returned to its place by a roller and compacted, ensuring that the grass lies flat again. This entire process is efficient and careful, making it ideal for large-scale projects.

Special Applications

For challenging locations such as slopes and inclines up to 30-35 degrees, we have a special machine equipped with tracks and an additional planting foot. This allows us to create a stable and even planting bed on steep slopes, planting bulbs over a width of 1 meter. By planting long-blooming bulb mixtures on steep or difficult-to-mow slopes, we not only reduce mowing costs but also create a colorful hillside.

Planting with the Angle Planter

Our angle planter provides an excellent solution for planting close to trees and obstacles. This machine is equipped with a planting foot that is mounted on the side, allowing us to plant both between and near the trees. With a planting width of 0.5 meters, we can work very accurately and utilize almost the entire area, leaving no unplanted space behind.

Perfect Solution for Any Project

Whether it’s colorful flowers on roundabouts, blooming verges along roads, or bulbs on steep slopes, mechanized planting is an efficient, precise, and cost-saving way to beautify any area.
