does any of our members remember the 3 row potato planter its the one 3 people sat on the back of the planter and take  the seed out of the trays and put them in a cup in a cup that drops  them in the row my planter is around 60 years old I bought it and it took me two months to restore it back to working condition as it had been standing in a field for a several years

we used it once after I restored it but  it was to clumsy for our allotment far better planting with our rotavator and ridging tool the potato planter is going to be retired and have afresh coat of paint and used as planted  garden feature

I still have a memory of one of those being towed by a tractor, Rowland!

I've often wondered if the system was bettered in any way, so yours must be a real heirloom!

Mantis do a double tine which is great for earthing up spuds, (it has just two tines, not four), and I used it a lot when we had 'The Patch'!
