Gene,
I have always been curious about how the hill drop (or check row) planters worked. I realize they used wire with buttons running through some type of trip to time the seed drop. What I don't understand is how the trip wire was moved from one row to the next at the end of each pass. It appears to me that three people were required for planting, one on the planter and one on each turnrow to move the stakes. What am I missing? BTW, although hill drop planting was pretty much gone by the time I was old enough to notice what was going on, we had one neighbor who was stilling using it circa 1955. Daddy had a difficult time explaining to me why the cotton lined up in rows any direction you looked in his fields. Thanks.
