Description: The M‑Planter is a mechanical tree‑planting device that mounts to an excavator (or, in some models, a forwarder/harvester). It automates the key steps of reforestation and significantly increases planting efficiency. It was developed in Finland through decades of contracting experience and research, with the first prototype appearing around 2005 and commercial units following shortly after.
