WIIDDDEEE 'n narrow all at the same time!

Good eye. Yeah, you could get away with it when 40 hp tractors were used to plant with. Today, definitely want to have all wheels between the rows.
 
Bet it was fun to aling the steering the first tim. Wonder if the tie rods and stuff were a factory modification kit or custom built by a fabricator shop. Bet you couldn't take that to a show.
 
Never saw that with a 4-row planter. A neighborhood fellow did that with a two-row for a few years. Used a Farmall A. It was a short-lived fad.

That must be some kind of sandy loam for the moldboard hills to be smoothed out by a single passing spike harrow. Sure wouldn't happen in my black clay.
Must be some of that glacier deposited dirt....the dirt that used to be where the Great Lakes are currently.......yes, no?
 
my uncle once had what I think case called a chisel planter. a corn mounted on back of chisel plow. I have no idea how it worked out good or bad.
 
A case dealer had a demonstration of a chisel planter when I was in High School. The senior FFA class got to go see it in action. It was reported the next they had "planted" 10 acres of corn without any seed in the planter. The seed had run out and no one noticed.
