im going to plant my first large garden this year along with some sunflowers for the doves. I recently purchased a 1 row cole planter mounted on a cultivator frame. It was a great deal and i had great expectations on my garden and crops. BUT- My tractor tires are 72" outside to outside & inside width is at 38" give or take an inch. How the heck am i supposed to plant 36" rows or even close to 36" rows with my tractor? moving the tire width is probably out of the question. If i let the tire run 10" away from the last row, then my rows would be 46". How is anything supposed to have decent spacing when planting with a 1 row planter mounted to a cultivator? it seems my best option might be to make a 3pt hitch frame and fabricate a toolbar and then attach the planter to the toolbar so that it can offset one of the tires.. hopefully i am just looking at this the wrong way. what do most people use one row planters for?
