[AT] transplanters

[John Hall]

Just saw 4 hand transplanters go for sale at auction last week---pretty 
cheap--about $20 ea.
I think the N.C. Agricultural Review may have a website----see if you can 
find one for sale there. Thery are still popular with gardners.

There were plenty of one row planters but most of them were abandoned in the 
70's for 2 row jobs. Now most(practically all) of them have been junked for 
modern carousel planters for greenhouse raised plants. We used to plant 
tomatoes with ours and it worked well. As for the one row units, I don't 
know if you could mount them on anything besides an offset IH---at least 
thats where the water barrel went. I'm sure it could be done on other 
tractors with some creative engineering.. All the old units I ever saw were 
made by Holland.
