very nice 
 
but for me it would work less than 20 minutes per year  :confused:

It is quite a nice machine.  We have another that is much more modern (but there are more moving parts, and more things to watch out for).
 
I have been using them nearly every day for the past 3 months.

Getting a proper grow log together will take some time to organize.

Well Matt, a grow log or starting your own Glog should prove very interesting!

 
 
you made me want to have one,
after going around the web, here's what I like that would be good for me.
small, versatile and compact.

this will make me a nice project for the next sowing season
 
 
Lots of options!
 
We opt not to use both topdressers and watering on both machines. It creates a huge mess when doing hundreds of trays per day.
 
These machines are used for a commercial operation and we do about 80 varieties of peppers (among many other plants).
 
I will always do my hobby growing the old fashioned way.

glad, I got a lot of pneumatic accessories (marketplace) today at a ridiculous price. Used but everything is functional. The project will be ready for next season.
now must find a table in stainless steel or aluminum....
 
Those look quite nice to use as well.  I haven't heard of the paper chain pots before.  Is that what you are using in with your seeders?  
 
The paper chain transplanter looks like fun to use, too.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duLuTNvjLHg

Man, this makes my setup look old school... Wife and I use these for our seeding for the past two years.

We have all the different size plates for different seed sizes.  I'd love to have some automatic, but we do about 2400 seedlings (across all our production veggies) a season.  That's three and a half successions.  
 
Thanks for posting!

Nice finds :)  

Make sure to drain your air lines and compressor every time you use it.  Water accumulates and it can bugger things up
