Gutbrod Potato Planter

Recommended Posts

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?

Hi John

This will look well at the rally the theme being potatoes

A Ferguson Elf with planter,a Gutbrod 1032 with Rotavator,a Gutbrod 1032 with drill ploughs and an Anzani iron horse with a potato lifter and a ransome MG with a plough

Yes if all goes to plan we will see you there George. 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?

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.

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.
