Kevin It is too new to have ever been horse drawn. The horse drawn ones had an entirely different setup. They did not have the packer wheels driving the chains with pockets. This is a vary common style mechanical transplanter. Also I do not think it is a Holland brand. They had a different style of plant holder. One side was metal with the other being rubber. Mechanical Transplanter brand has the type of pocket yours has. also Mechanical Transplanters of the vintage of yours had green boxes, frames and seats. The packer wheels would have been red. The Holland Transplanters of the age of yours would have had Yellow seats and a red frame. Both companies are located in Holland, MN. IRC family started as one company and split sometime in the 1940s. Both still manufacture transplanters. There are thousands of these planters in the Burley and flue cured tobacco growing areas. A newer style of transplanter that only takes one person per row has largely replaced the style you have in the majority of the tobacco areas. The style you have is still popular in vegetable areas as they work better with tall plants.

Yours just has had the water system taken off of it. The water tower and valve are gone. watering the root ball as they are planted is critical to getting a better percentage of live plants. This is why these planters where designed/patented in the first place.

In this picture you can see Both brands of transplanters. The one closest to the camera is a Mechanical brand. See the green color? Then you can see a Middle age Holland in the back ground of the picture.

Here is a picture of a New Idea Horse drawn transplanter. This design is what the Holland and Mechanical brands replaced.

Here is a picture of a hand transplanter like you bought for me.
