My papa didn't have a planter, all tobacco was hand pegged. My mama would start a row and never raise up until she got to the end of the row. Lots of hot hard days in the patch. Loved every minute because I was with my grandparents.

Its always fascinating to watch tobacco being planted. I use to grow tobacco in Ontario Canada.

Man does this bring back memories. My granddad used to work tobacco. He had a one transplanter identical to this one except it had 2 seats. He would use a Farmall 140 to pull it. We didn’t have the “fancy” canopy top though🤣. Well remember riding the transplanter.

I'm white and i've worked right along side of Mexicans...Didn't speak a word of English, but Hard work is a universal language... so we got along just fine ;)

These old trans-planters move right along much faster than the cone planters that have one drop hand per row. The cone planters require that you move in creeper gear. The work is also neater using the old planters which was very important when hand harvesting was the practice. The stalks had to be equally spaced along the row. OK i was the driver and my sisters, dad, and mother were the "drop hands" and we did about 17 acres every year. We pulled a two row planter with a 200 Farmall with no creeper gear. We could do about 5-acres per day (we did not drop plants in the morning because the survival rate was diminished.) The driver had to keep the rows straight. We got our plants out of Florida where the plants were grown in fields instead of beds.

I remember those days so well here in Kentucky

In my country we used to plant Tobacco. We had different brands. American guys from Durham took it all over.

RIP Steve walser love you bud

What a relaxing sight.

That is a good looking John Deere.

cool you guys rollin fat. were still using the pull behind one row planter of 1968

Well in pakistan we do that planting by hand..any one knows how much is the space between two tobacco plants? We keep 2 ft distance between two plants

I don’t know how much you get per harvest pound but here in Europe it goes for a 600 dollar in retail

Looks like they need to be careful about getting their hands caught in that planter.

Veery cool, we farm tobacco in Ontario, Canada

Get it Steve

who pulls the plants? Do they raise their own plant beds? Riding the setter is the easiest job, we used to argue over who got to ride. Sometimes I miss those days I know my brother does. How many acres are they planting? Do you know?
