“I bought mine about two months ago. Got the one yard hopper on the back of it. I used mine to pot my trees when I shift them from a 3 gallon to a 7 gallon and a 7 gallon to a 10 gallon. Worked beautifully. Potted about 1600 trees. And the hour meter reads 14 hours. Saved time and wear and tear on my employee. Would recommend it to anyone.”

“O’Hara’s Nursery is a grower/retailer in Lavonia, Georgia with one 28’ X 95’ greenhouse and 5000 sq feet of outdoor growing area. We saw the Stilt Pro Rear Load potting machine at a trade show and instantly knew it would be a game changer for our operation. The machine handles bark mix and peat mix. Compressed bale mixes grind up easily and quickly. We can pot bare root material faster and fill anything between 140 count plug trays and 30 gal nursery containers with ease. We love having our Stilt Pro doing all the hard work for our growing operation.”

“Our experience with the Stilt Pro double potting machine has been excellent after 1 season and about 12,000 plants from 4” to #7. The machine is easy to use, adjust, load, and maintain. I was a bit skeptical as we make our own proprietary mix and wasn’t sure if this machine was designed for commercial mixes but it has handled everything we’ve thrown at it without any issues. We looked at other units and decided on this, and I’m very pleased with our decision.”
