0. K. CHAMPION POTATO PLANTER No. 22 



The O. K. Champion 

 No. 22 Planter is au- 

 tomatic in every de- 

 tail; it needs but one 

 man to operate it, a 

 driver. 



It will plant either 

 cut or round potatoes 

 as accurately as me- 

 chanical skill has yet 

 been able to devise a 

 planter. 



It opens a V shaped 

 trench for reception 

 of the seed. 



Planting' is done by 

 a system of cups on 

 an e n d 1 e s,s chain 

 which enters the seed 

 opper from below. Each successive cup takes a seed po- 

 ito at the bottom of the funnel, carries it up into the down- 



5 pout where the seed falls on the back of the preceding cup, 

 nd is then carried down to within about six inches from 

 le ground. 



L The driver sits in a position where he can oversee the 

 * ntire work of the machine. All he has to do is to drive 

 ^ is team slowly and keep the two bushel hopper filled with 

 potatoes.

 digging in one 

 trip over the 

 row, and the 

 tubers are left 

 in better con- 

 dition for pick- 

 i n g up. It 

 greatly reduces 

 the labor, and 

 saves many po- 

 tatoes. 



New Idea Transplanter 



In construction it is durable 

 and strong. The main frame is 

 strongly braced and riveted to- 

 gether. Two large wheels sup- 

 port the rear 

 part of the 

 main frame on 

 which the 55- 

 gallon galvan- 

 ized steel tank 

 is fastened. 

 This tank, with 

 reasonable care, 

 i s permanent 



and does not need replacing every few years as wood barrels 

 do. The driver's seat is attached to the tank. 



You will immediately notice the comfortable seats and 

 back rests for the plant setters. The planters place the 

 plants in the ground alternately, first one then the other. 

 There is ample room between the furrow opener and the 

 press wheels and the boys and girls soon become skillful in 

 placing the plants quickly in the furrow. 



The planting mechanism is built on a sub-frame — the shoe 

 or furrow opener, the valve and press wheels or press plates. 

 The furrow opener is of the short runner steel type, ad- 

 justable up and down to suit conditions of planting from 2 

 inches to 5 inches deep. For deeper planting, a special 

 shoe can be furnished.
