I had an old IH 706 we used at the duck club. Used to plant about 80 acres. I went through a few old 4 bottom discs, usually cheaper to buy them at an auction than fix them. Loved turning the soil. That's the way we fixed the dirt road after the spring floods, disc it up and drive on it to pack it down.

I had an old 8 row drill for planting buckwheat and a 4 row corn planter that had been converted from a chain drop planter. Chain drop was the original mechanical planter, you laid a chain that had a link every 8" and fed the chain through the planter. The link would cause the planter to drop a seed in each row. Do 4 rows and move the chain. I was glad it had been upgraded.
