Mike, I want to see what answers we get. They were not used or done together, and they didn't require each other.
However, my point is, that if you aren't old enough to know about check row planting and why it was done, then you won't appreciate the uses for a swinging draw bar. With todays modern tractors and implements, the swinging drawbar doesn't really have any use or value.
