was RE: [AT] Towing now planters

I don't know of a planter for sale but it should work wonderfully for 
transplanting tomato plants.  Just remember that you will need several 
people to man the thing so it would work best for a larger operation.
The ones I remember were two row - four people feeding plants to the 
planting section (they ride in seats on the setter) and, of course, 
someone to drive.  A water tank was mounted on the tractor to supply the 
transplanter - if you are planting acres it would be prefect.
For smaller operatoins maybe a manual transplanter - I think I have the 
remnants of one here somewhere - might be just the thing for my tomato 
garden <g>
