I am looking for information on what I believe to be a somewhat rare MM implement from the 1950s. It is a Moline-Monitor Plow Drill, Model 10-6 P3, about 5 feet wide, designed to attach to a soil packer, with both then attached behind a 3 or 4 bottom plow.

Here are my questions:

1. What years were these drills made?
2. Are they somewhat rare to find?
3. Does anyone have any history of these you would be willing to share, such as what part of the country they were mostly used in, in what kind of crop ground, under what conditions, etc.?

Any information you could share would be very much apprecitated. Thank you.

I don't know when they started making them. My guess would be early thirties? or twenties. They were still made in the fifties for sure. They aren't to rare here. You can buy them at farm auctions for a couple of bucks(before high scrap prices). No till sent them to the scrap pile permanently.

That sounds like what we called a pony drill. It was hooked to the packer then then packer to the plow. Every farmer in this part of the country had one, Before chemicals it was the best way to stay ahead of the weeds. Spent a good many hours using them years ago. They were a one time over system, very economical. The only thing with it now days theyoung farmers would consider it way to slow.
