ABSTRACT:
A sugar cane planter includes a main frame which may be hitched to the rear of a tractor and is supported by adjustable depth wheels, a drill plough for opening a furrow being mounted under the main frame. A trailer frame, mounted on wheels and connected pivotally about a transverse axis to the main frame carries a hopper for a bulk supply of cane setts and a tank for fungicidal liquid, into which the can setts pass gravitationally from the hopper. An elevator elevates the setts from the tank and discharges them into a chute leading to the furrow opened by the drill plough. The hopper bottom can be tilted to promote the gravitational passage of setts to the tank.
