    Looking good! The planter will definitely cut time. For spacing we actually paint our lines like hash marks on a football field. It takes a little more time but the rows are straight as an arrow. You can see the paint line when it comes under the tractor and gets between your feet. Not sure how many your planting, we use this method for 1600 trees. Happy planting!

      That sounds like a great idea. I feel like if I get that first row established and correct, I could use that row as a gauge for the other rows. I am small potatoes and only planting 300 trees. At some point I will need to set it up with the planting but just don't know when that is. Once our first trees are ready, I will have 200-300 ready each year. I am maybe 3-4 years ahead of the game. I am just rambling now. Thanks for watching.

    A little larger tractor with front wheel assist would be nice, but it looks like you are getting by with this setup. I used one from Ellsworth Co. to plant my windbreak.

      Hey Lloyd. good to hear from ya. Yes that would be nice with a bigger tractor but I think a load on the front will help us out. Take care and talk to ya later.

    6:26 Adding weight to the front will help with traction. I'll grab a bucket full of dirt and drop my 5' box blade and the 5 rippers 8" deep. Also 4 low, if you weren't there already.

      Thank you. Last night I loaded the bucket with large rocks. Have a great weekend. 👍

      Rear wheel weights are available as well as beat juice ballast in the tires.

      @@fredmeebley Those are on my list of things to add. Probably do the ballast in the tires. Thanks.

    What model of planter is that? I have a 1025r and need to plant roughly 1000 miscanthus rhizomes and I think that would work great!

      I am sorry I have no idea. I found it on market place and is has been cut and modified over the years. I will look it over & see if there is marking indicating a manufacture.
