Two-row potato planters Gemini (distance between rows: 67,5 – 80; 75 – 90 cm)

Two-row potato planters Gemini are designed to work with 65 HP / 70 HP tractors equipped with three point suspension system, cat II and III. The planters are perfect for medium-sized farms. 

The main components of the machine, such as a tank with a capacity of 800 / 870 dm3, technical support platform with steps and railing, coulters or ridging discs are mounted on the machine’s solid frame.

The advantage of the planter is the smooth adjustment of distance between rows in the range of 67,5 cm to 80 cm or of 75 cm to 90 cm. 

The double-row belt with buckets is driven by a chain transmission. The use of 8 chain wheels in the transmission allowed to obtain distance in row in the range of 17,5 cm to 48 cm. Markers allow for planting depth in the range of 4 cm to 12 cm. The ridge is formed by coulters or ridging discs, additionally you can use attachment for ridge forming. 

The planter is equipped with cups allowing the planting of potatoes up to 50 mm as a standard. The machine can be additionally equipped with buckets, allowing to plant small-size (up to 35 mm) or large-size (up to 60 mm) of potatoes.

An additional equipment that increases the efficiency and economy of the machine is a fertilizer dispenser (metal or acid resistant steel). The 50 dm3 dispenser tanks are mounted on the sides of the planter. The dispenser allows you to deliver the starting dose of mineral fertilizers directly during planting.

The machine can be additionally equipped with an applicator for potatoes’ protection with a tank capacity of 100 dm3. The applicator allows for precise application of the protection agent directly onto the tubers as they fall into the ground. Spray nozzles mounted under the chute pipes ensure even coverage of the potatoes and effective protection already at the planting stage.
