ABSTRACT:
A cottonseed planter for planting cottonseed along a selected side of a raised bed is disclosed. The planter is adapted for two-way operation through the field and includes a tool bar frame having ground engaging means. Multiple seeders are supported on the frame and at least one of the seeders is tiltable in both directions from vertical for seeding operations. Shaping blades are pivotally mounted on the frame intermediate the seeders and precede the seeders in operation. A control rod is operatively connected to the seeders and the blades so that upon reaching the end of a seed bed row, the operator can change the position of the seeders and blades and continue seeding on the same side of the seed bed in the reverse direction of operation through the field. In the preferred embodiment, the seeders are a press wheel type and at least one seeder is disengaged in each direction of operation.
