When I was a kid, Dad planted corn with a 2-row IH horse planter. (Dad always loved horses and used this team that he had raised from colts well into the mid 1950's. They worked great for hauling manure from the barn during the winter, as they never got stuck in muddy conditions.) He used to get off the planter to move the check wire after he pulled the lever to lift the planter. The horses would turn the planter, line up on the marker & then stop. (After the first round or two, he always tied the reigns to the lift lever on the planter & didn't touch them again until the end of the day.) Dad always had to have a firm hold on the seat of the planter when he snapped the wire into the check mechanism on the planter because the horses were off as soon as they would hear the snap. After the horses died, we still used the planter behind the H Farmall, there was a "kit" he bought that converted a 2-row horse planter to use behind a tractor. The kit even had an extension for the lever so you could reach it from the tractor seat. He eventually went to drilling with a four row because tractor with two row was much slower than the horses were when you always had to get off and move the wire. (My $0.02 worth. jal-SD)
