Tractor-mounted Potato Planters Bomet

Bomet potato planters for tractors are mounted agricultural implements designed to open the furrow, distribute the tubers and form the ridge in a single pass. Bomet is a Polish manufacturer with over thirty years of experience in machinery for soil preparation, sowing, cultivation and harvesting. The family-run company operates in Węgrów and has developed a commercial presence across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas.

The range available at AgriEuro includes one-row and two-row models suitable for different plot sizes, tractors and workloads. The distribution system uses cups fitted to chains driven by the movement of the side wheels. This configuration coordinates tuber placement with the machine's forward movement and produces orderly rows with defined spacing.

The available Bomet configurations include the following two types:

• Bomet one-row potato planters: they work a single row per pass and require limited manoeuvring space. They are suitable for smaller plots, compact tractors and crops with narrow rows;
• Bomet two-row potato planters: they work two parallel rows simultaneously and increase the surface planted with each pass. They are designed for farms with larger plots and tractors compatible with the machine's weight, power requirements and linkage;

At AgriEuro, Bomet potato planters can be selected according to their main technical specifications, helping identify the machine best suited to the tractor, plot size and planned planting pattern. The assessment should consider the number of rows, power requirement, hopper capacity and available adjustments together.

• Number of rows: one-row models work a single planting line and make manoeuvring easier on smaller plots. Two-row versions complete two parallel lines per pass and reduce the number of runs required;
• Tractor power: the range includes configurations with different requirements depending on their weight and number of rows. The power ratings declared by the manufacturer start at approximately 20 HP for certain one-row versions and increase for two-row models;
• Three-point linkage: the linkage category must match the system installed on the tractor. More compact configurations may use Category 1 linkages; two-row models may require Category 2;
• Hopper capacity: a larger hopper reduces the frequency of refilling during planting. In the Gemini range, capacity varies according to the configuration, with higher values on two-row models;
• Planting distance: this adjustment determines the spacing between tubers along the row. On certain models, the distance is changed by adjusting the wheels or the transmission ratios provided;
• Row spacing and ridging bodies: the distance between rows must be compatible with subsequent cultivation and harvesting machinery. The rear bodies close the furrow and form the ridge after placement;
• Planting depth: the adjustable furrow openers adapt tuber placement to soil conditions and the model used. Before continuous operation, the result should be checked over a short test section;
• Machine weight: weight affects compatibility with the tractor linkage and the stability of the tractor-implement combination. Overall dimensions, lifting capacity and load distribution must also be checked;

One-row models meet the needs of semi-professional and professional work on smaller areas, such as small farms or fields divided into plots. Two-row versions are intended for continuous professional work, where the wider working width allows planting to be completed with fewer passes. The choice always depends on the available power, field layout and quantity of tubers to be planted.

The Bomet range includes one-row and two-row potato planters, both driven by wheel movement during travel. The two configurations share a cycle comprising furrow opening, tuber placement and ridge formation. Their operating capacity, overall dimensions, weight and tractor requirements differ.

Bomet one-row potato planters concentrate the planting cycle on a single line and feature a more compact structure than double-row versions. As the machine advances, the furrow opener cuts into the soil and the cup system collects the tubers from the hopper, placing them in the furrow at intervals linked to wheel rotation. The rear bodies then cover the row and form the ridge. This configuration facilitates turning on short headlands and moving between divided plots. Its weight and power requirements are generally lower than those of two-row models. The machine is suitable for small farms, vegetable growers and operators planting limited areas with compact tractors. Before choosing a model, the linkage category, lifting capacity, placement distance and required ridge width must be checked.

The distinctive features of the one-row configuration include:

• Compact structure: the reduced overall dimensions facilitate manoeuvring in narrow fields and headlands with limited space. The single planting unit also makes it easier to follow isolated rows or irregular plots;
• Dedicated hopper: its capacity is sized for work proportional to a single row. The lower overall load facilitates pairing with tractors offering suitable power and lifting capacity;
• Mechanical distribution: the cups collect the tubers and carry them to the placement point. Drive from the wheels synchronises distribution with forward speed;
• Ridge formation: the rear components close the furrow after placement. The setting should be checked in the field according to soil consistency and moisture;

Bomet two-row potato planters create two parallel lines in the same pass and are intended for professional work over larger areas. Two distribution systems collect the tubers from the hopper and place them in the furrows opened by the front components. The rear furrowers cover the rows and form the ridges at the end of the cycle. Compared with single-row models, these machines offer greater load capacity, weight and width. They therefore require a tractor compatible with the three-point linkage category and the specified power rating. The double-row configuration reduces the number of passes across the field and maintains defined row spacing. Before planting, the distance between tubers, placement depth, chain tension and correct position of the ridging bodies must be checked.

The main features of two-row models are:

• Double planting unit: both lines are worked in the same pass using separate distribution systems. This arrangement increases the area covered during each tractor run;
• Larger hopper: the tank supplies both units and reduces interruptions for refilling. The load must remain within the limits specified for the machine and the tractor linkage;
• Model-dependent row spacing adjustment: the distance between the planting bodies produces rows compatible with subsequent operations. The adjustment must remain within the values permitted for the specific Bomet configuration;
• Wheels and chain transmission: wheel movement drives the systems that carry the tubers. On compatible models, changing the diameter or transmission ratio allows different planting distances to be selected;

Choose and purchase from AgriEuro the Bomet potato planter best suited to your tractor and planting area.

A one-row model plants a single line per pass and has more compact dimensions. A two-row version works two parallel lines, covers a larger area and requires a tractor compatible with its greater weight and power requirements.

The required power depends on the selected model. The most compact Bomet configurations start at around 20 HP; two-row versions require more power, as specified on each machine's technical data sheet.

It is connected using the tractor's three-point linkage. Before purchase, the linkage category, lifting capacity and pin dimensions must be checked for compatibility.

The potato planter opens the furrow, places the tubers and forms the ridge in the same pass. The cups carry the potatoes from the hopper to the placement point, and the rear components close the soil.

Yes, on compatible models the planting distance can be changed according to the manufacturer's specified settings. The system may involve adjusting the wheels or the mechanical transmission ratios.

The depth is set by adjusting the furrow openers and the support components provided on the model. A short test run should be performed to check placement and covering before continuing.

Capacity should be proportional to the area to be planted and the lifting capacity of the tractor. A larger hopper reduces refilling stops but increases the total weight when loaded.

The mechanical Bomet models described use wheel movement to drive the distribution chains. The specific configuration should nevertheless be checked in the technical data sheet and manual of the selected model.

The soil should be worked, levelled and cleared of residues that could obstruct the furrow openers and distribution components. Large clods or depressions can make tuber depth, covering and spacing irregular.

Before planting, the linkage, chains, cups, wheels and furrow-opener settings should be checked. After work, soil and residues must be removed, moving parts inspected and the lubrication and storage instructions in the manual followed.
