Abstract: An apparatus to be towed that includes a frame supported, rotatably mounted, pair of furrow forming disks that are arranged to substantially contact each other at the approximate point of entry into the soil and diverge apart rearwardly and upwardly, a pair of rotatable gauge wheels having supports that individually and pivotally connect the wheels to the frame with each wheel being located generally adjacent an outer surface of a disk, a gauge wheel adjustment assembly slidably mounted in said frame and having an equalizer assembly connecting the supports whereby movement of a support and thus wheel in one direction produces the same movement of the other support and wheel in a contrary direction and including an indicator, furrow depth indicating structure having a zero position and spaced indicia for indicating furrow depth and adjustment structure for movably mounting the indicating structure on the frame, and structure for selectively immobilizing the equalizer assembly in a neutral position whereby with

Abstract: A planter to be towed that includes a frame supported, rotatably mounted furrow forming disks that are arranged to substantially contact each other at the approximate point of entry into the soil and diverge apart rearwardly and upwardly, a seed tube for depositing seed into the furrow, a pair of rotatable gauge wheels having supports that individually and pivotally connect the wheels to the frame with each wheel being located generally adjacent an outer surface of a disk, furrow closing structure mounted rearwardly of the disks and gauge wheels, gauge wheel adjustment structure including a lever pivotally mounted on said frame and having one end adapted to engage and move the wheel supports, a slide for moving the other end of the lever, a plate having a plurality of equally spaced holes, a handle resiliently mounted on the slide and having structure to engage the holes to set and maintain furrow depth and adjustment structure for movably mounting the plate on the frame wherein when the disks and wheels cont

Abstract: An apparatus to be towed that includes frame supported, rotatably mounted furrow forming disks that are arranged to substantially contact each other at the approximate point of entry into the soil and diverge apart rearwardly and upwardly, a pair of rotatable gauge wheels having supports that individually and pivotally connect the wheels to the frame with each wheel being located generally adjacent an outer surface of a disk, a gauge wheel adjustment assembly, including an indicator, movably mounted in the frame for contact with the supports to achieve desired furrow depth, furrow depth indicating means having a zero indicating position and spaced indicia located adjacent the indicator and including adjustment structure to locate and fix the zero position opposite the indicator when the wheels and disks contact a level surface for accurate furrow depth control.
