Is this like a very complicated looking rig to you too?

Hey Guys, that isn't a planter!! Thats a 2-row cultivator with dry fertilizer and insecticide boxes on it. Big boxes were for the fertilizer & smaller ones in the back are for the worm medicine. You used it to cultivate, side dress dry fertilizer right next to the corn plant & put root worm control down by the roots. Not real common in our part of the world, but there were a few used by "progressive" farmers. Its a cut-away view. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)

Looks more like a planter to me - with the openers for seed and fertilizer behind the (removed) wheel, and then the packing wheels behind. Also has the advantage of doing a little tillage with the sweeps and hiller disks while planting. Maybe the first no-till? Or maybe could be used between existing rows, or previous year's crops. Yup, looks like a planter to me!

Do not know what that planter would be used for but I was around mounted 2 and 4 row IH planters with fertilizer attachments for years and have never seen one that resembled that one. The ones we and our neighbors used to plant mostly cotton, corn and soybeans did not have near that many parts.

For a couple of years a H was our only tractor. We would plant all day and come in just before dark pull rear part of planter remove fertilzer hoppers install draw bar and someone would disc all night. Next morning planter went back on.

I have seen these and they are not all that hard to put on and will do a good job like RUSTY said no wild sensors to screw up.

Quite simple really, there isn't a single part on it that doesn't have a necessary function. Todays planting rigs won't do a thing that the one in the pic won't do, except that the new planters have about a jillion electronic sensors on them which all need to be connected to an onboard computer in the tractor cab. Now that's complicated.

The main shortcoming of that planter is it would take the better part of a day to put on or take off!

I think it would take the better part of the day just getting into the drivers seat.
