High quality, uniform results
The successful planting of mini tubers relies on the use of the right technology to meet your specific needs. At WIFO we have developed our MP range of durable planting machines to achieve uniform and high quality results. WIFO planting machines are equipped with unique and highly efficient planting units. The compact design and the tried and tested technology make these machines the ideal solution for farmers and agricultural contractors wishing to further professionalise their potato cultivation operations and boost quality.

Get the most out of your investment
Growers are increasingly using mini tubers as propagation material, but this calls for special care with planting and dedicated planting machinery. With a WIFO mini tuber planter you can closely control and optimalise the entire process. Carrying out multiple operations in a single pass delivers savings in both time and costs. WIFO planting machines have developed a solid reputation for robustness and low levels of maintenance. These  machines are the result of highly developed, painstakingly tested technology, top grade materials and components and decades of practical experience.

Accurate planting method
The design of the mini tuber planter has been developed to meet the stringent requirements of the market and the end users. The planter can operate at higher speeds and capacities while still achieving precise and careful planting. This makes the mini tuber planter the ideal solution when it comes to the planting of high quality sorted mini tubers. The accurate planting method ensures that the tubers are carefully planted with a consistent spacing and depth. This leads to optimal development of the mini tubers, resulting in maximal
quantities of top quality propagation material of uniform size and shape.

The exact machine you need
There are several different models in the WIFO MP range, allowing you to choose exactly the machine you need to fit in with your working methods and the planting situation. You put together the exact machine you need, based on your specific requirements. So you can specify the number of rows and include various options like fertilising and marking equipment. You will also select the row spacing to match your procedures. The available row spacings range from 75 to 90 cm. You can also adjust the machine to suit your needs while it is in operation, controlling such variables as the planting spacing and the frequency of the vibrating agitator.

The Koningsplanter
The mini tuber planter uses the highly regarded Koningsplanter planting unit, which over the years has taken mini tuber propagation to a whole new level. Planting the mini tubers with precise spacing means they have just the room they need to grow, improving not only quality but also yields. The Koningsplanter helps you make the most of your mini tubers. Precise planting means you use less propagation material per hectare, saving costs.

Durable and user-friendly
The WIFO mini tuber planter ensures that the mini tubers are carefully transported and handled, with damage kept to a minimum. The precise planting contributes to optimal propagation yields and uniform end products. The mini tuber planter’s hopper is straightforward to fill. The mini tubers are transported to the planting unit via adjustable distribution flaps, with the vibrating agitator ensuring that they are planted in a single line. The row spacing can be adapted to the size of the tubers.

Dedicated planting unit for sorted and unsorted mini tubers
The unique Koningsplanter planting unit delivers precise, uniform planting. The mini tubers are led gently down from the end of the conveyor on a finger belt. The reverse motion of the belt ensures that the mini tubers are deposited at the correct rate, in the opposite direction to the motion of the machine. This results in the planting of the tubers with consistent spacing. The planting depth is determined by the adjustable depth wheel to the rear of the coulter. The disc coulters earth up the mini tubers and can easily be adjusted to change the shape of the ridge.
