ABSTRACT:
A multipurpose device for planting, transplanting and harvest garlic and similar crops in raised beds includes a base structure having a frame, gauge wheels attached to the frame to support it at a desired height from the raised bed, and left and right raised bed followers to engage the sides of a raised bed as the device is drawn along by a conventional agricultural tractor. Two chairs can be detachably mounted on the base structure, they are abreast of each other when planting or harvesting, or one behind the other when transplanting seedlings. The toolbar is mounted on the base structure in front of the chairs to provide room for attaching one or two furrow openers and a furrow closing plate can be detachably attached to the base structure behind the chairs when planting cloves or bulbs. A bed lifting plate can be detachably attached to the base structure in front of the chairs during harvesting operations to loosen the soil so that operators sitting in the chairs can pick the plants and place them on a conveyor detachably mounted between and to the rear of the chairs during harvesting.
