The goal of this study is to develop an environmentally friendly electric multipurpose transplanter and analyze the required power for the field operation. The field operation was conducted in two conditions: planting operation conditions (26, 42, and 63 cm planting distance), and simultaneously planting with speed. Motor driving current was measured by the current probe and the measured data was stored using an oscilloscope. One-way ANOVA with planting distance and Duncan’s multiple range test (DMRT) at a significance level of 0.05 were used to analyze the required power by SAS. The results were found that both of the planting and simultaneous operations, the motor required power have a significant difference, but no significant difference between each planting distance. Finally, it can be said that the multipurpose transplanter could be feasible for the farmers at high driving speed for higher planting distance.
