  • I own a hand planting company and have never seen the tools your using there to plant. What are they called and how well do they work ??

  • The tool is called a Pottiputki.

    Great for planting tree seedlings. Planter can plant 2000 in a day depending on the site. Never have to bend over when you are good.

  • So THAT'S how those tools work. Never even seen one before.

  • @ripousse One day we had 39 cents a tree !! But only managed to plant 300 lol... Rockiest ground I have ever seen in my life .. They cut the trees in those places and think its going to regrow .. THERES NO DIRT LEFT

  • @xAdaMx117 Haha that made me laugh a lot I planted in deerdale too and ion Vnacouver island .. On the island we planted some 4's !! In deerdale I'm guessing you were planting 10 or 11's .. Also don't forget the plot is done in an horizontal plane and it's WAY steeper

  • @tadernuts What do you mean

  • Gonna agree with everyone else here, I'd be pushing for 5k in this... and not with one of those crazy machines

  • lol, y r they all wearing hard hats? they are in the open field, not a tree around to fall. Is it for protection from bird poop from the sky,lol Nice video though...heard its one of the most physical jobs out there.

  • better wear a helmet, a tree might fall on you...

  • this looks like shit. I'l stay in bc.

  • Y'all sure do it different up there. All the planting here (southeast U.S.) is done by crews from Mexico or Guatemala. They use a dibble bar or a hoe-dad.

  • @goforg even in northern ON, 2000/day is not great.. I thought pottiputkis were supposed to speed the process up...
