[Ben Jenkins]

Any of you WI northern IL guys know where I could find a used two row potato planter?

My brother-in-law raises produce and has been looking for one too. So far, no luck.

Most planters in my area of New York are one or two row. I've got an Iron Age which later became Oliver. Actually, I have two and both use a wooden hopper and a canvas converyor belt. One is in good shape and I use it, and the other sits on one of my hedgerows and is in poor condition. Most two rows that I know off all use the same basic platform and McConnel Co. still makes parts for them. Good ones around here bring $800-$1000 or more. I don't know about your area. I will say that many potato farms in the northeast are going under, and most have a few 2-row planters around. I see them listed in auctions every week.
