Assisted Feed Planter
RP-10M:  1-Row Assisted Feed Planter
RP-20M:  2-Row Assisted Feed Planter

Description

The Assisted Feed Planter allows a rider to assure that plots are planted with no skips or doubles.  It uses a carousel to deliver the seed pieces to the seed chute.  The mechanism, similar to the well-known but obsolete "Iron Age" planter used extensively across the United States, has been designed to ease maintenance.  The planter can be built either as a completely manual feed or with an automatic feed hopper.  This planter can be used for flower bulbs as well as large seeded plants like some pumpkins or trees.
