The RTP Genesis 5 Seeder is a true no-till drill allowing you to plant many types of seed even in the toughest ground conditions. The front spring-loaded clutters slice the cover-crop just before the v-disks create the perfect area to plant seed. Right after the seed is planted, the solid rubber packing wheel firmly closes the ground to allow the seed to grow well. The seed depth is easily adjusted by a pin on the packing wheel. Ultra-accurate adjustments for seed density and on-board speed and acreage calculator provide you with valuable information. Ultra-heavy duty construction will provide years of use.

What size tractor do I need?
Vineyards require specialized, narrow-profile tractors designed to maneuver tight row spacing without damaging vines. Standard row spacing often requires sub-50 to 80-horsepower tractors like the Fendt 200 V/F/P series or compact Kubotas.
-
Do I need a mechanical grape harvester?
Mechanical harvesters are excellent for large commercial operations because they significantly reduce labor costs and pick grapes much faster than manual crews. Smaller or premium vineyards often prefer hand-picking to prevent vine damage and allow for strict, cluster-by-cluster sorting.
-
What should I look for when choosing an orchard tractor?
When selecting an orchard tractor, consider factors such as row spacing, maneuverability, horsepower, attachments and the tasks the tractor will perform. Our team can help match your operation with the right equipment.
-
What tools are needed for canopy management and vine tying?
Essential tools for training vines include automated pre-pruners, tying tape tools (like the Max Taper) for securing canes upward without girdling, and wire-tensioning tools for trellising.
-
When should I rent instead of buying vineyard equipment?
Renting is typically best for seasonal or short-term operations like harvesting or heavy-duty tilling. If a machine (such as a daily-use vineyard tractor) is used year-round, buying or financing generally makes more financial sense.
