What is transplanter?

A transplanter is an agricultural
machine used for transplanting
seedlings to the field.
This is very important as it reduces
the time taken to transplant
seedlings (when compared to manual
transplanting) thus, allowing more
time for harvesting. It also reduces
the use of manual energy.
1.Riding type- is power driven and can
usually transplant six lines in one
pass.
2.Walking type- is manually driven and
can usually transplant four lines in
one pass.
Rice transplanters were first developed in
Japan in the 1960’s, whereas the earliest
attempt to mechanize rice transplanting dates
back to late 19th century. In Japan,
developments and spread of rice transplanters
progressed rapidly during the 1970’s and
1980’s.
