[QUOTE="Davey Crockett, post: 298573, member: 367"] We had one like that too db When I was about 6 years young Dad sold prince , He was too high spirited for planting potatoes but good ahead of the cutter sleigh. Dad bought a 1958 65 massy tractor and I got to pull him with the tractor , I thought it was fun , We planted 6 rows 100 yards long for a few years. They were neat old planters with the hopper and rotating thing that looked liked like a bunch of woodpeckers that stabbed the seed and somehow put it in the ground and the hiller wheels covered it up. The cultivator had foot steering so I got to pull him then too. I thought I was really going to like potatoes farming but I was still wet behind the ears. One day dad brought out a bunch of gunny sacks and two potato forks and showed me how to dig potatoes then handed me the fork and told me to finish. I didn't last long so he came out and dug along side me and then there was no slacking off. I could only drag half a gunny sack so had to use a basket to finish filling the gunny. Finally grew up so I could lift the bags of potatoes and was happy when someone borrowed the equipment and never brought it back. When I read this topic a couple days ago it made me wish I still had the planter and cultivator . [/QUOTE]
