Are you looking for a tree transplanter? If it runs off a 3 point hitch, it'll likely be too small in capacity to do much. I can plant trees faster, with a 24" step down tree planting auger, than that little stuff does. May be a different story, if you have your own trees to move, but if you're buying them, I'd go with a hyd driven auger...

If these bushes are all in a row ( I'm guessing here), why not just run a single furrow plow to make the row? probably take 2-3 passes to get deep enough ? It's how I planted 400 tomatoes one year real fast. 2 passes dug the trench,toss toms in 45* toward west wind,kick soil around them, done !

If you want to plant 8000 aronia bushes. You are flat crazy!!! I have 5000 of them and it's all a guy can do to upkeep them I have had them since 2009. I'm 35 and they wear me out!!!!! We are certified organic also. Just my two sense worth. If you have any questions about them I can give you some info.

I probably don't know as much about them as you. I used to pull weeds by hand, but it was an everyday job after work. I quit doing it. Ain't got the time. I don't mulch or prune either. I figure if they can't survive on their own, then they can just die. Where do you deliver your harvest?

You'll have to ask Luke what the mexicans charge fer pickin, but it's probably around 40 cents per pound. We haven't been paid for the 2014 crop yet, but the 2013 crop brought $2.07 per lb.
Before you hire the southerners to pick, please ask the local folks first. You'll be surprised at what you'll find for help pickin. The local boy scout troops and church youth groups are always lookin for ways to raise money. I had the high school girls soccer team pick mine. They said it beat the hell out of standing on the street corner doing $5 car washes. Luke and I both deliver the berries to sawmill hollow in Missouri valley, Iowa.
Shameless, what's growing there now where you're gonna plant those bushes?

I had to google aronia bush to see what you're talking about. Yeesh I 20' of them here( we call them Anna berries, as the TWO saplings came from great neighbour Anna) and they multiply faster than rabbits. Some kind of FAST growing blackberry.
Now I'm thinking a 'sub soiler' on an Orange would be the fastest way to get a trench dug to get them planted, then a 'seat/platform thing( whatever you call it), and have someone put the shoots in as YOU drive the tractor. I'm not a real farmer but someone here must know the names of the 'thing' I'm describing.
Saw a 'weed steamer ' on TV once for grapes, wonder if that would work for you? Seems the steam killed of weeds, left the grapes alone.
food for though

I have a 1 acre patch that I've not planted anything in for the past 2 years...reason? it has been (as long as I remember) a terrible patch of foxtail. soooo...for the past 2 years I have done nuthin but disk it all season long! it's a patch all by itself, away from other fields. also been cutting the trees back that's growing around the field, so if I give up the farming thing I can still have this. but if ya can't gits paid for them....
