STANHAY PRECISION VACUUM PLANTERS
Stanhay precision vacuum planters accurately plant all
vegetable and salad crop seeds to produce top quality, high
value crops.
Seed costs remain one of the highest inputs to row crop
farming. Coated (pelleted) seed can be easily planted with
moderately priced belt planters, but less expensive raw seed
requires more sophisticated machinery for accurate planting.
Stanhay vacuum planters have the unique ability to plant both
coated and uncoated seed.
Growers know the ability to plant raw seed (especially odd-
shaped seed), and the accurate placement of individual seeds
are benefits that well justify their investment in the Stanhay
vacuum planter.
STANHAY SINGULAIRE S785 VACUUM PLANTER
The Stanhay S785 Vacuum Planter with Singulaire metering
units is very popular with large scale growers of vegetables and
salad crops, and is the premier model for planting multiple-line
crops like carrot, onion, and spinach. Eight row S785 planters
are common but practically any number of rows is possible.
STANHAY SINGULAIRE METERING UNIT

salad crop seeds. Singulaire plants raw (uncoated) or coated
seed in 1, 2, 3, or 4 lines with unmatched precision.
