    Oh boy Geoff! Looks nice. Is everything working, or do you have to work on it a bit?

    It should be ready to roll as it was used last year to seed some barley and alfalfa. We just modified the tongue back to center for my team. The friend I got it from (“Santa”) used it w/ 3 abreast (mules) and went to a wider drill – 12 ft. He felt that when using the grass seed box it worked better just allowing seed to fall freely to the ground rather than using the seed tubes. His experience was almost no emergence when using the tubes – could be a seed size issue (ending up too deep).

    Those are hard to find back east. Usually rotted out sitting by an old stone wall. Nice score.

    Geoff – I wish I could find one like that here in Michigan. It seems like the tubes on the grass seeder should work as long as they drop the seed behind the discs. Bob

    Very nice Geoff. I hope Santa it that good to me. Bob, I am starting to think that the Amish have them pretty well bought up. I know of one who is going to the other side of the state to get a Massey Harris for $700.00 plus a dollar a mile trucking. I was fortunate to find one without a fertilizer box(which the Amish don’t want).

    Very cool. I Pull a 10 footer behind my forecart, took the grass tubes off it seems to work allot better the old tubes kept plugging.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE
