This Cole 12MX came with one corn (medium flat) plate, one pumpkin plate and one squash plate along with four gears to adjust seed spacing. It drops 3-4 pumpkin seeds every 45-50 inches. It also side dresses fertilizer at the same time. I spaced the squash and smaller pumpkins 24 to 30 inches. The price was right. I did have to take it apart because the main bearing was seized. It is the only planter that I could find this spring which actually came with pumpkin and squash plates.
In these photos I was planting sweet corn. Cole Planter Company: 12 MX Multiflex Precision Planting & Fertilizer Units
