Subject: RE: 114 Burch planter


Marengo, Iowa
We owned a couple of Burch planters back in the 70's. It seemed like I spent more time walking behind the planter looking for the chain that drives the unit than I did planting. The frist thing you need is a monitor to tell you when it isn,t planting. Ours were the old twin row versions and the plates run about 15 degrees from verticle to singulate the seed in the seed cell of the plates. It would plant light going up hill and heavy going down hill. I hope I don't start having nightmares after looking at those pictures. Ours were cut up for scrap many years ago to save someone else from having the agony!
