Water valve for transplanter

[TWJanak]

I am looking to put a water system on a 3 pt. transplanter for small trees. It's not mechanical, the trees are set in by hand. I know on vegetable, etc. transplanters they have the water valve that gives a shot of water to each plant.

Anyone have a place where I can get the valve? I can rig up the rest of the system, just don't know where to get the valve.

Thanks!
Travis

If you are anywhere near a Fleet Farm or TSC
you could get an electric valve for a sprayer that
might work for your purpose.

Call Holland Transplanter @ 616-392-3579, ask for Howard, tell him Paul from Wiers @ Willard, Ohio referred you.

They make a valve that could probably be adapted to your planter. It uses gravity fill with a lever release. The lever is actuated by a roller system on the planter wheel.

Their web site is listed in the link, but there are no pictures of this valve on the site, but Howard will know what you are looking for and will probably send you literature if you request it. Good people to work with and will help you build anything you want.
