Home-Built 12-Row, 30-In. Planter
 ✖  |
After traveling all over the state of Nebraska to look at prices on 12-row, 30-in. planters, we decided to build our own. We took our old six-row planter and purchased another one at an estate auction. After we attached the two planters together, we had to devise a hitch that would pull both of them. An offset hitch allowed us to save more money by using only one marker, but the other planter needed 500 lbs. added to balance out the weight. So far our IHC 1466 has had no problem pulling it and we are very pleased with the results. (Wayne Wesley &Tim Wesley Dressen, Dressen Farms, 1597 Co. Rd. P25, Kennard, Neb. 68034 ph 402 427-7183)
