2 Cole 12MX planters mounted on a toolbar during testing in Tifton, GA, at the Blackshank experiment farm prior to shipment to Haiti

This Cole planter system is a proven way to plant peanuts with little or no damage to the seeds. It has been used for this purpose as well as for planting many other crops for decades. The way that the seeds are lifted and handled inside the bin is the trick to easy handling and minimal mechanical damage. The seeds are dropped evenly spaced in the row at the spacing that you choose. It is possible to place up to three planters on the above toolbar being pulled by the Mahindra 3016 tractor for planting Spanish or Valencia peanuts in closer rows in a skip row fashion if so desired. This planter system is available through Frank’s Designs for Peanuts, LLC.
