Your drill when geared up for horses probably never had a seat as such. I can remember my dad and others sowing with horses. They used reins long enough so they could walk behind. they also had a 2x10 plank across back about 15" off ground which served as a platform for filling drill as well as a place for operator to ride. From either walking or ride behind position it was very easy to watch functions of drill. Lever for raising discs was behind seed box and really only accessable from the standing position. When my dad was confident every thing was working well he would swing his legs over seed box and that was his seat, but only until he came to end and drill had to be raised.

My dad always said a good drilling team was a team that knew as much about drilling as the operator. He had a team that knew the right distance to walk from last pass, right pace , etc. They made the job very easy. After he cut the tongue and started using Super A with my brother or I driving, he used to kid us that horses were better on judgeing the above. In beginning he was probably right, I was only 10 first time I pulled drill with Super A
