I know all of us at some point while plotting and trying to grow big deer always get a bit jealous of the ones that have all of the cool toys to put seed in the ground. Being a working father of 3 and my wife not understanding deer hunting I'm finds for habitat equipment is sparse. I came across this old planter on the backside of a pasture while doing some work for a widow lady. She told me if I could dig it out I could have it. It was in surprisingly good shape. A little grease and soaking the drive chain in diesel loosened things up. I found a couple plates for corn and beans along with flat seeds. This thing was made from a larger unit and cut down. They made it for watermelons. Row width on watermelons are too wide for most deer plantings. I finally got tired of the wide spacing and the competing grasses.
I decided I would make it an offset planter and pull behind the right wheel. Having a bunch of metal around I went to fabricating a new 3 point hitch to attach my planter to. I can't thank my dad enough for buying me a welder for my 14th birthday almost 25 years ago. I patched the fiberglass seed box and made a lid for it. Stripped it down and painted it. Now if it will just dry out enough to run the disk through some plots again I plan on planting some iron clay peas for a late summer early season draw.
