I have stumbled onto what appears to be a two row John Deere Lister corn Planter?? That was a little before my time. Can anyone enlighten me about these implements? Were they meant to be pulled by horse or tractor or both? Anything you can tell me about these implements would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

I was reading a little about listers just the other night in my JD "Operation, Care and Repair of Farm Machinery" book the other night. They were built to more or less combine the functions of the plow and planter together. The "plow" part was basically a middlebreaker moldboard, that threw a furrow in both directions. The seed boxes would drop the seed in the center trench, and closers behind would cover them up. Sometimes they would do what was referred to as "blind" listing, where they wouldn't seed, but just use the unit to make ridges in order to help control erosion. Later they would go back and seed.

What can I say..Every body had one. Still have one out back. Horse first and tractor later. Planted corn or beans. Opened up a furrow and then planted in the bottom of it where there was moisture and no weed seed. 36 inch or 40 inch spacing. Room for a horse to walk. Common cultivator for these was called a "godig". First cultivation you "threw out" later, when corn was taller, you "threw in" to level ground.
