Well, it sold for $1250!!!!! !!!!

I cannot in my wildest imagination figuring anybody would pay that kind of money for a used 2 row planter. I'm getting grumpy in my middle years and I apologize for being so.

Farming practices vary so widely from region to region and equipment that is common in one location is unheard of in another. You folks in the big flatlands, with fields that stretch for ever, use machinery we can't even find room to turn around down here in eastern Kentucky! I used to work up in central-northern Ohio and would watch those fellows working those thousand acre fields with giant Steigers and combines..... .watch grain go out by the 18 wheeler loads and could never get over the amazement of what big time farming really is. More than anything else, I wonder what it was like to farm those fields 100 years ago. Lo, I digress...back to 2 row planters!

Sorry I should have answered you earlier, but I thought someone else with more experience would give guidance. I have two on a tool bar that we have used to spot replant corn and beans. They are press wheel driven, so they work petty good for this application. I run a 13 wave coulter in front attached by RM cultivator brackets. I heard they are tougher to find in the mid-west but are more prevalent in the south. I didn't think this information would do you much good if any, so didn't post.

Well, I figure it must be considered good one because nobody is saying anything and no doubt bidding heavily on it. It went from $250 to over $560 already. Obvious to me somebody knows something and ain't telling. I wouldn't give $560 for 2 row corn planter if it was gold plated. A fool and his money are soon parted. It just amazes me how quickly folks will share information until they covet something and a dollar is involved.
