• Planting Depths: 1 to 4 inches
  
• Depth Control: Combination spring loaded parallel arm and gauge wheel
• Raised Bed Capacity: 0 to 14 inches
• Side-by-Side Plant Spacing:
  From 6 inches to length of the tool bar
• In-Row Spacing (Plant to Plant):
  8 to 24 inches
  (Optional Extended Spacing Available)
• Row Centers:
  Adjustable from 48 to 80 inches
• Propane Hole Burner (right):
  1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, or 3 inches 
• Water Injection:
  Provides approximately 1/2 cup of water and/or liquid fertilizer to each hole at timed intervals. 
• Tool Bar: "Lock and Keeper" system allows planting heads to be adjusted along the length of the entire tool bar. 
• Pneumatic Pressure System: Regenerative blower driven by tractor PTO delivers positive air pressure to speed the seed to the hole, and a vacuum which assists in seed singulation
• Hydraulic Requirements:
  1500 p.s.i @ 8 gallons per minute

Standard Equipment Included With Base Units

• Tool bar with CAT I or II three point hitch mounted to drive assembly.
• Two drive tires on 1, 2, 3 and 4 row units: 760-15-6 ply traction bar type
• Four drive tires on 6-row units:760-18-6 ply traction bar type 
• Hydraulically driven blower with flow control and hoses
• Seed singulator with one seed plate
• Included with the GVB520 only are 8", 10", 12", 14" & 16" spacing sprocket
• Seed plates are available for almost any variety of seed, raw or coated: Chicory, lettuce, radish, celery, carrot, tomato, pepper, turnip, mad apple, parsley, fennel, leek, cauliflower, melon, spinach, cucumber, asparagus, watermelon, sugar beet, beet, squash, beans, corn, and others.

Spring loaded parallel arms (left) allow individual planting heads to float independently across the top of the seed bed. Very little pressure is actually applied to the seed bed. A propane fired Turbo Torch is used to pre-burn a hole into the plastic. The planting cup then inserts the seed directly into the center of the hole. For a more comprehensive explanation regarding the hole burning and water systems, follow the Additional Information link above.

Our in-row spacing limitations of 8 to 24" prevent this planter from being used for certain crops, such as onions or peas which require tighter spacings. A simple sprocket change is all it takes to adjust in-row spacing.
