ABSTRACT:
A transplanter machine rotates seedling plants from a horizontal file to a vertical orientation by use of a plant holder which has a dwell when in a loading position. The plant holder will accelerate the seedling plants from a relatively low velocity to a velocity that is matched to the machine travel speed such that the plant is inserted into the ground at a zero velocity relative to the ground. The plant holders are mounted upon holder arms which are pivotably connected to a rotating hub. Each holder arm is connected to a link which causes the holder arm to fold and unfold as the plant holder travels in a path about a rotation axis.
