- Potato Planter (KG-PH9000): A tractor-mounted, integrated planting system that performs rotary tillage, ridge formation, planting, vinyl mulching, and soil covering in a single operation. It can plant 3,000 to 5,000 pyeong (approximately 2.47 to 4.13 acres) in 8 hours, with simultaneous installation of irrigation hoses and herbicide sprayers. The company's unique slit-perforated vinyl mulching technology reduces labor for sprouting potatoes, and its ground wheel power transmission system resolves missed planting issues. It is compatible with 50-90 HP tractors and features a two-row planting (one ridge, two rows) method.Potato Planter (KG-PH9000): A tractor-mounted, integrated planting system that performs rotary tillage, ridge formation, planting, vinyl mulching, and soil covering in a single operation.
