Upgrade your greenhouse potting bench to the all-in-one STILT.PRO Greenhouse Soil Mixer without increasing your floor space. Compact and portable small batch soil mixer potting machine will fit through a standard 36” door and easily go where you need it. Load and fill from the front eliminating the need for you to access the machine from different sides. Easily break and fluff 3.8 cubic foot compressed peat bales. Do not worry about collecting unused media as you pot, there is an integrated soil return hopper to recycle the media back into the machine to be used again.
Packed with capability, this ½ yard and up pot filler will time and time again let you uniformly blend your custom mixes (up to 65 gallons) and can handle typical potting soil mixes. Use common growing materials like PBH rice hulls, peat, bark, fertilizers, and chemicals as needed. The blender in the bottom continuously turns media over for proper blending and preps material for usage.
Your DIY potting mix is loaded into the front of the machine. Turn the soil mixer on and allow to run for a few minutes to break up and mix the media. When properly mixed, start filling pots. Repeat the process after the media is consumed.
Save Money: Use this soil mixing machine as a peat fluffer or bale buster and easily save money by switching from loose peat bags to 3.8 cubic feet compressed bales.

3 Year, Unlimited Hours Warranty – INCLUDED
Includes: Problem identification, remote trouble shooting of issue, support and instruction for proper repair, and providing replacement of failed parts.
Excludes – Misuse of equipment (including using non horticultural potting mixes with high sand and field soil content) or improper care, such as leaving fertilizer in machine for an extended period of time. Wear parts (chain, slats, wear plates or surfaces). External physical damage inflicted on the machine. Labor repair costs.
Yes, we keep inventory of most all parts. Most all of the components are either US Sourced or a common off the shelf component. We are having some supply chain issues on components, but we are working through the best way to manage that.
All of our machines are designed right here in the US. We design these machines to be easily repairable by an inexperienced worker. Should a problem arise, you won’t need to weld or fabricate a new part. The entire machine is bolted together and you can simply bolt in a replacement part.
We have heard that concern, I get it, you won’t be able to load a machine up and let a person pot plants for a day.
Some perspective – The rear load machine holds about 3/4 – 1 cubic yard which is up to about 200 gallons of material. That gives you about 15 minutes of runtime without stopping.
The reason for the smaller equipment size is to primarily keep the price and complexity down.
-Increase horsepower requirements which means increased power – now you have to have dedicated power for the machine.
-Increasing the hopper size also increases the physical size of the machine which increases the overall cost and reduces portability
You may have not made a purchase on a potting machine in the past because of the overall cost.
From time to time, we hear that our production rates appear slow. Look at it this way though. You have 5 or 10 workers running a high-speed line. SOMETHING GOES WRONG, you now have all these people standing around and/or you need to find a different job for them.
If you have a machine problem with a high-speed line you’re completely shut down. With a cell-based design, you have a small part of the potting operation down. Your efficiency is similar whether you have 1 or 4 people operating STILT.PRO machines.
