The Garlic Planting Machine is an agricultural tool designed for efficient and precise garlic sowing.

It uses a precision seeding system to plant one or multiple cloves per hole while combining trenching, seeding, covering, and pressing in one pass — greatly improving efficiency and reducing labor. Planting depth ranges from 5 to 15 cm, with 5 or 6 rows optional and customizable. Plant spacing is set at 11 cm.

We offer two models, SLBZ-6 and SLBZ-5, available in both tractor-mounted and gasoline-powered versions.

Advantages of the Garlic Planting Machine

Boosts Planting Efficiency

Covers several acres per hour — 3 to 5 times faster than manual planting. Helps maximize productivity during peak seasons.

Accurate Seeding for Higher Yields

Precision system ensures even spacing and consistent depth, allowing one or multiple cloves per hole. Improves germination and uniform growth.

Adjustable and Versatile

Row spacing, plant spacing, and depth are all adjustable to suit different garlic varieties and field conditions, including flat and ridge planting.

Multi-Function Operation

Combines trenching, seeding, fertilizing, and covering in one pass. No need for repeated fieldwork.

Flexible Power Options

Compatible with 12–40HP tractors or a 5.5HP gasoline engine. Ideal for both large-scale farms and small plots.

Stable and Reliable Performance

Built with wear-resistant materials and precise mechanics. Delivers consistent planting, low failure rates, and minimal seed skipping.

    Structure and Working Principle of the Planting Machine for Garlic

    Seeder (Seeding System)Plants garlic cloves evenly at the set spacing.
    Adjustable for single or multiple cloves per hole.
    Furrow OpenerOpens soil trenches to the required depth
    before seeding. Depth is adjustable.
    Soil Covering DeviceCovers seeds with soil after planting to protect
    and promote germination.
    Covering thickness is adjustable.
    Press WheelLightly compacts the soil after covering,
    improving seed-to-soil contact and germination rates.
    Ground/Drive WheelRolls with the ground to power
    and synchronize the machine’s moving parts.
    Transmission SystemConnects drive wheels to the seeder via chains
    and gears for accurate and synchronized planting.
    Supports multi-speed adjustment.
    Row Spacing AdjusterAllows flexible adjustment of row number
    and spacing to suit various crops and layouts.
    Frame StructureSteel frame that supports and connects
    all components.
    Built for durability and stability
    Power InterfaceConnects to a tractor or gasoline engine
    to provide power (e.g., via PTO shaft).
    Handle/Control SectionSome smaller models feature handles for
    manual steering or operation.

    How to Operate a Garlic Planter Machine

    Field Preparation

    Choose flat, well-drained land. Plow and loosen the soil in advance to ensure good seedbed conditions.

    Garlic Clove Preparation

    Select healthy, uniform cloves. Split garlic heads manually or with a garlic splitter, and remove damaged cloves.

    Power Connection

    Attach the machine to a tractor or start the gasoline engine, depending on the model.

    System Check

    Inspect the seeding system for blockages. Rotate the drive wheels to ensure the mechanism runs smoothly.

    Parameter Adjustment

    Set row spacing and number of rows. Adjust plant spacing, seed quantity, and planting depth as needed.

    Start Planting

    Fill the seed hopper and begin planting. Maintain straight lines for consistent results.

    Usage Precautions

    • Level the ground before planting to avoid seed skipping.
    • Do not reverse the machine during operation to prevent transmission damage.
    • Keep garlic cloves free of soil, stones, or debris.
    • Clean the machine after each use and regularly inspect wear parts.
