Diskers, One Ways

Further to the discussion I saw here (I think it was here) re: one way diskers , I recorded a little video of using one of mine yesterday. It
turned out pretty well but I went a little long in places and could have edited it down. Internet was in "limp mode" last night so I did get
it the way I wanted but whatever. Have a look at the old John Deere.
John Deere Surflex Tillerr
 
Rusty This was originally made to plant while you where disking was it not???? If it was how did that work???
 
I don't know about the original intentions but the optional seeding attachment did make it a dual purpose machine. Notice that big old flat chain hanging on the land wheel? That would be your ground drive to run the feed shaft on the seed box. A pretty universal method for those days and it worked well. With a little work and penetrating oil to free up the shafts I could probably put in next year's crop with this one.
Box held about a bushel per foot.
 
I have 3 of these old boys, 2 twelve footers and a twenty footer. They do a pretty good job if set up correctly. Mine have the big steel rear wheel, probably about 6 hundred pounds. Have never seen one with the seed box on it. Years ago neighbor used to pull 16 foot press drill behind one.
 
(quoted from post at 21:24:16 09/11/16) always wanted to try an oliver, see how good the worked

I never saw an Oliver but no doubt they had one. Pretty much all the machine companies offered a disker similar to this John Deere. International and Massey were some of the best according to some. I've got a Case and a newer Massey Ferguson.
 
JD sold a lot of those in our area, then all of a sudden everyone quit using them. Never bothered to ask anyone why they quit using them. No one bought the seeder attachment in our area.

Ditto on the heavy cast rear wheels. I think they weighed more like 800#s I remember assembling the JD models and the cast rear wheel with 6 weights was a finger masher when assembling if one wasn't very careful. Local dairyman did all his plowing with 3 JD R's & three 21 disk surflex's. I only remember a very few equipped with seed boxes. Seed tubes just dangled between the disks and they planted mostly small grains for Winter grazing. JD offered 8'' & 10'' disk spacing. Largest model that I'm aware of is a 28 disk which if set for hard soil would cover about 26 ft or 32 ft for soft soil/

Nice, and very familiar. Case sold a lot of them and the older 900 series here. I still have the twelve foot 900 Case my dad bought new about 1960 but have not run it in a while. It planted the crops here for years. I see yours has the packer hitch installed on it.
 
I never saw one used in my part of the state. I was told they
would not work on the black gumbo soil, but always wanted to try
it for myself. Would love to have seen the 3 R's pulling the 21'
rigs.
 

The surflex's were used to plow black soil here where I live but required spring loaded scrapers. Disk that were spaced 10'' apart plowed better in black soil.
