Mark van Gompel, Owner of Boomkwekerij Mark van Gompel, Shares His Experience with the DTM Digging / Pruning Machine 

Boomkwekerij Mark van Gompel specializes in cultivating hedge plants ranging in size from 60/80 cm up to 6 meters. The nursery covers 25 hectares of smaller hedge plants and 15 hectares of larger ones. When searching for a root ball digging machine, they wanted a user-friendly solution. Their previous automatic machine struggled with digging up under-branched plants, which led them to look for a better alternative.

"The team is really excited about the machine."

Mark van Gompel's Pruning/Digging Machine is equipped with a four-point spade, ensuring that plants remain upright in the soil after digging.

"The reason we chose a machine from DT Machinery is because it's easy to operate, dual-purpose (it can both prune and dig root balls), and I see a big advantage in its bolted frame, which prevents cracking."
