The Janesville Planter is made adjustable in width 3 feet to 4 feet. 

 After the coin planter was developed so as to retain a high average per 

 cent, of number of kernels that one desired to plant In a hill, the next 

 ft step was to distribute hills according (o fertility of soil. 

 ■[) This is effected by changing drop from a lesser to a 

 W greater number of kernels at operator's will. 

 |Sr\ This quick change of number of kernels to the hill — - 

 ml 2. 3 or 4 — is effected very simply. By operating a small 

 HI hand lever within easy reach, operator sets clutch so 

 p^l as to turn seed shaft one-sixth, one-fourth or one-third 

 wBL °f a revolution, giving 2, 3 



Wlfmtt&m or 4 keniP,s ro liill- See cut.

machine. 



3. Automatic distribution of wire on reel — another labor and time- 

 saving feature. 



4. Chain or gear drive planters with adjustable drop. 



The disk marker is a great improvement on the drag marker usually 

 employed. 



A steel chain is attached to raising lever in such way that it can be 

 made automatic in the operation or set so that operator releases wire at 

 his will. 



Through the improved construction it is possible for operator to change 

 from hill drop to drill drop without leaving his seat or even without stop- 

 ping team. A combined foot drop and drill drop attachment is placed to 

 rocker shaft, which enables operator, by simply pressing this lever by the 

 center, to lock valves in planter opening and throw clutch into gear so it 

 will run continuously and, of course, drill. When used as a foot drop 

 simply do not press the lever down so far. 



Valves on Janesville Planter are so placed that there is no possibility 

 of mixing the hills. Upper valve is located so close to seed plate that it 

 cannot get out of time, and lower valve is so constructed that it can 

 free itself readily from dirt or trash that may get into it. The valve 

 movement ensures your heinc always in check whether you drive fast or 

 slow, and rows will be straight. The force feed takes care of increased 

 momentum in fast driving. 



Change from ed."e drop to flat drop is effected by simply altering seed 

 plates. Chanre from billing to drilling is made by throwing clutch in 

 gear with lever. Lastly, without stopning team, 2. 3 or 4 kernels may be 

 dropped to a hill by operating small hand lever within easy reach. 



A rod running from rear axle to front frame throws machine out of 

 gear when raised at ends to torn around. 



Outside of driving gear, '.n every other way No. 7 Planter is equipped 

 same as No. 5 Planter.
