GAV694 23 #1 Posted March 26, 2016 Has anyone got any pictures or information on how to attach the potato or veg planters to a Gutbrod? I have just bought a potato planter but I am not sure how to connect it up. The planter isnt home yet but should be in about a weeks time. I know you use the standard tool frame like this (without the grubber) And there are brackets which I dont have The center bracket looks like it will couple the planter to the tool frame but I am not sure what the other two are. I was thinking lift arm extensions but I think the planter will be heavy hanging that far behind the tractor. Any thoughts? 3 4x4forks, Stormin and HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am sure I can fab up some brackets to make it fit even if they are not quite to the original design. Is it a working day or just for display purposes?

4x4forks 258 #5 Posted March 29, 2016 Hi John Looks like it may need a power input on the right hand side of the hopper. Maybe a land driven wheel. Commercial ( full sized) machines are land wheel driven. Great looking bit of kit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Commercial ( full sized) machines are land wheel driven. Great looking bit of kit. Yes there is a wheel to drive it but its had a few parts removed to get it ready for shipping. Once I get it home I will post some pictures of the complete planter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GAV694 23 #7 Posted April 11, 2016 So at long last the planters were delivered today, only had enough time to take them off the pallet and get a quick photo to show the drive wheel that turns the bit that drops the potatoes. 4 4x4forks, Stormin, Triumph66 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
