Indeed that is a JD 290 planter (got one just like it on rubber). The idea of check planting looked good on paper, but consumed a lot of time when it came to planting (always having to hook the trip wire at the start of each row). My dad told me that my grandpa tried it once when the idea first hit the streets back in the late 40's. He said it was too time consuming and was back to row planting the next year, as it had always been done. I've always wanted to try check planting in a small plot, just to say I've done it. You'll have to keep us posted with pictures as things progress Cowman.

P.S.

Do the president a favor and get that poor guy a hydraulic marker...they aren't hard to fabricate on that 290...maybe I'm just lazy. :)
