A planting machine for seedlings of root or bulb crops is provided with radially extending planting fingers 2 rotatable about a common axis and driven by an eccentrically mounted cage 5, As shown each finger 2 is slidably mounted in a guide 3 in the cage and the axis of rotation of the cage is so positioned that the circumferential velocity of the fingers in the upper part of their path is less than in the lower part of their path, and at the lowermost point is equal to the speed of the machine but in an opposite direction.
