Tree Planter

 

 

This is a Kelco TP-300 Tree Planter, with utility trailer.  It can plant trees in sod or cultivated soil.  The planter is connected by a three-point hitch

and can be pulled with a minimum 20 hp tractor.  It can plant seedlings, or trees up to three feet in height.  The planter comes with either a four foot or a

five foot spacer wheel.  If you have neglected planting trees because of the back-breaking work required by a dibble bar, this is your answer. Easily towed on its 4’ X 8’ utility trailer.  Requires 1 7/8” tow ball. For Rental Agreement click here:  Rental Agreement.doc
