ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure is directed to a sugar cane planter pivotally mounted on the rear of a cane cart which automatically receives cane stalks sitting on their butt ends and pushed rearwardly of a cane cart where they are to be planted either whole or in cut lengths and are engaged at their base or butt ends and directed rearwardly with the butts rearwardly of their tips so that the cane stalks fall butt end rearwardly where they are engaged by cane orienting plates which impart an upward and rearward vector to the stalks either whole or cut to orient them with their major axis substantially parallel to the major axis of the cane cart and substantially parallel to the ground in which attitude they fall into a cane dispensing trough which has a mouth parallel to the major axis of the cane cart and positioned above an open planting furrow for receiving the stalk in its horizontal attitude. The cane dispensing trough has two live surfaces which hydraulically pulsate between an open and closed position to assure feeding of stalks to the ground and which prohibit build up or clustering of stalks on a static surface which results in uneven planting feed of the stalks to the furrows. The planter is pivotally mounted at the rear of the cane cart so that the height and angle of the kicker may be varied to accommodate cane size and furrow opening. The frame assembly also may have a plow in advance of the planter to open the furrows to receive the cane stalks.
