[AT] transplanters

[Al Jones]

I think the last transplanter on our farm was a Powell. That would've
been the '60s.

John we had a Bemis brand that was a trailer type that we pulled behind
a 
D-10 Allis.  It had a single axle with car tires and a water barrel that
was 
probably 200 gals or so.  It worked pretty good for an old hand drop
type.
