Chris, I really dont see all that many one row planters sold in this area mainly because this is an area that has significant acres of potatoes grow...however my recommendation would be if you have the capability and horse HP would be to go with a 2 row they are more available and u can usually get a pretty good deal on them for as lil as a couple hundred dollars for a 2 row pulltype and then there is option 2 you can go 4 row with an older planter...in this area there are alot of the older 4 row mcconnells and u can get one of them for $500 or less in some cases simply bc everyone is upgrading they are slower and take alil more maintenance than the newer machines but for starting out i think itd be an ideal fit if you are looking at expansion over time and its a good start up item that can be upgraded over time

I'm from Preston County- I live in a small town called Eglon, which is right on the MD/WV state line. My family owns a dairy farm of about 250 head counting replacements and baby calves. What county is Shady Spring in?
