The disclosure relates to a seedling storage system (20) for handling seedling storages (31) in a seedling planting machine (10). The seedling storage system (20) comprises at least one cassette unit (25) having at least two cassettes (21, 22, 23) located superposed or adjacent to each other and configured to store and transfer the seedling storages (31) in the seedling storage system (20). The cassettes (21, 22, 23) are removably mounted in the cassette unit (25).
The invention relates to an intermediate seedling storage system of a seedling planting machine of a seedling planting machine, which comprises at least one seedling magazine (11) for the seedlings (17) and at least one planting means (16) for planting the seedlings (17), which intermediate seedling storage system (10) also comprises at least one planting channel (18) configured to provide the seedlings (17) from the seedling magazine (11) to the planting means (16) for planting the seedlings (17) by the planting means (16). The intermediate seedling storage system (10) further comprises at least one gate plate (20) positioned between an upper end of the planting channel (18) and the seedling magazine (11), and that the gate plate (20) is configured to be turnable from a closed position to an opened position and vice versa such, that turning of the gate plate (20) from the closed position to the opened position is configured to release seedlings (17) in the seedling magazine (11) for entering to the planting channel (18).
The invention relates to a method in a seedling planting machine and to a seedling planting machine, in which, seedlings are extracted from a seedling storage. In the method, the seedling storage is held in its place on a storage track of the planting machine with first holding elements by a first toothed bar. The seedling storage is transferred on the storage track of the planting machine by moving second holding elements by a second toothed bar, in relation to the first holding elements and to the storage track, so that the seedling storage comes into contact with the second holding elements. The seedling storage is transferred by the second holding elements a transfer distance forward on the storage track. The seedling storage is transferred by the first holding elements, and the seedling storage is detached from the second holding elements.

The invention relates to a method in a seedling planting machine (1) and to a seedling planting machine (1), in which seedlings are extracted from a seedling storage (4) to be transferred to planting means (3) of the planting machine (1). In the method - the seedling storage (4) is held in its place on a storage track (6, 7) of the planting machine supported by first holding elements (21), for example, by a first toothed bar, - the seedling storage (4) is transferred on the storage track (6, 7) of the planting machine by moving second holding elements (22), for example a second toothed bar, in relation to the first holding elements (21) and to the storage track (6, 7) so that - the seedling storage (4) comes into contact with the second holding elements (22), - the seedling storage (4) is transferred to be supported by the second holding elements (22) and - the seedling storage (4) is transferred a transfer distance forwards on the storage track (6, 7), - the seedling storage (4) is transferred to be supported by the first holding elements (21), - the seedling storage (4) is detached from the second holding elements (22).

PLANTING MACHINE AND METHOD FOR PLANTING SEEDLINGS
The invention comprises a planting machine and a method for planting seedlings, whereby the planting machine comprises a frame (13), to which are located: fastening devices (12) for connecting the planting machine to a controllable articulated boom of a working machine; tilling devices (14) for forming a planting hole by means of a rotating tilling blade (18); planting devices (17), which are arranged to guide and place seedlings to the planting hole one by one by means of a planting tube (42), and at least one seedling storage (21 ), to which several seedlings can be placed and which are arranged to feed seedlings to the planting devices (17). According to an example the tilling devices (14) comprise a ring (11) or a tilling head (45) rotatable around a rotation axis (X1, X3). According to an example the planting tube (42) moves through the ring (11). According to an example the planting devices comprise a feeding tube (41) for fertilizer.
