If the soil is moist when you plant with one of these machines the machine sinks in and compacts the soil as well as the soil clumping and gumming up the soil contact mechanisms, so timing is of the essence to ensure that each row is planted promptly so that the tractor can move over to the next set of rows to be planted and the rows that are freshly planted can have the furrows where the tires of the tractor had driven can be flood irrigated and the mounded beds where transplants are will wick moisture upwards because the soil is so fluffy and loose
