Saw this pull type planter in a barn. Very good shape. The guy said its easy to make it into a 3 pt hitch planter. He has a bunch of plates with it. Any idea what it is worth.

David,

are you sure its a pull type planter.

I bought a (pull type AC planter one time) the owner was pulling it around and just lifting his hitch (old ford tractor) at the ends to clear the swords.

I told him, man that old planter is going to be hard to transfer to make a 3 pt hitch and it would have. So it got it for around $100.

but, it was really an AC snap-couple planter.

all I had to do was clean it up, repaint it orange and it hook right up to my D-14.
Very few of them around, worked like a charm.
It was a great find!!!!!!

Don't think they ever built a pull type planter as a 2 row, only as snap coupler and as that is very hard to find could be worth a lot more than a 3 point hitch planter to someone that needs a snap coupler planter. Do not cut it up to try to make a 3 point hitch unit.

Leroy, I looked up snap hitch and that's what it is. This planter is very nice ,bright original paint. any idea on a price of what they sell for.

Actuallt they are so scarce that if you find one and can use it you will jusy have to pay what ever overprice you think it is because you might just never find anouther one. Don't think I have ever seen one sell as that scarce.
