Why can’t we use agricultural equipment to plant forests?

Question

Every season we have farmers plant fields. Sometimes 100’s of archers large. They have heavy machinery. And with just a handful of men. They are able to plow and seed these fields.
Why can’t the same skill set and machinery plant a forest? Say, in the midwest or on the out skirts of the Dust Bowl? Or in the ever eroding South American Rain Forest?

Answer 1

In western Oregon, much of the timber is on steep terrain. Hard to log and harder to replant.
