The Evans Steel Frame Intermittent Drop Planter, 



with Fertilizer Attachment and Check Rower. 



This machine is a continuous intermittent rotary 

 -drop Planter, made to drop the entire hill at one 

 time. It does not, however, destroy the usefulness 

 of a "combined machine, and it can be used as such 

 'by simply changing from thick to thin plate, and by 

 putting on or taking off the drive chain. Using the 

 machine as a drill, it 

 •can be changed to 

 drop 10, 12, 14 or lfi ins. 

 apart by changing the 

 chain to a different 

 sprocket wheel on the 

 shaft. It will plant in 

 hills with the drill 

 drop, from two to six 

 grains, by changing 

 the chain to different 

 sprockets, d r o p p ing 

 from 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 

 5 grains in a hill. 



Four sets of thin 

 tfeed plates for differ- 

 ent size corn are used 

 with drill crop, either 

 for drilling or hilling. 

 Each of our thin feed 

 plates has eight sets 

 of holes varying in 

 size from one-half to 

 eleven- sixteenths of 

 an inch. By having 

 four sets of feed 

 plates with different 

 size seed holes, and 

 different cone sprock- 

 ets, we get 16 changes. 

 This is equal to 32 feed 

 plates, as compared 

 t o Planters using 

 thin feed plates, with . J 



different number of feed holes in them and without 

 the use of cone sprockets for driving the feed. 



THE CHECK ROWER is fastened on the beam 

 of the planter front, and is connected with the 

 valve rod which operates the dropping device. The 

 check-rower head has a long adjustment, so as to 

 bring the corn in check under the knot on the 

 wire. It is made with the fewest number of parts 

 possible, and has an upright fork to catch the wire, 

 which is a great advantage over forks which oper- 

 ate sideways. 



POSITIVE WIRE THROW-OFF. — See cut above 

 for same. The check-rower pulleys and forks are 

 so pivoted that, when the machine is at the end of 

 the field, it is only necessary for the driver to pull 

 the small cord, and the lower pulleys and forks tip 

 and release the wire, throwing it from the machine

automatically without stopping the team; a great 

 improvement over other check-rowers which have 

 only part of the check-rower to tip. 



SIMPLICITY OF ADJUSTMENT.— There is but 

 one place on each head to adjust the check-rower, 

 that being the threaded rod running to the valve 

 crank, which it is only necessary to lengthen or 

 shorten as the check-rower head is moved back- 

 ward or forward, to bring the corn under the button. 



FERTILIZER ATTACHMENT.— We have a per- 

 fect fertilizer attachment for this machine, which 

 we guarantee in every particular, to work equally 

 as well with wire check-rower as without. It will 

 drop the fertilizer in a continuous stream when 

 hilling or drilling, or at intervals with the hill of 

 corn, as desired. This is the only successful fertil- 

 izer attachment on' the market.
