The beam, which carries the bottom, is attached to a bail-shaped axle, which in turn raises and lowers the bottom. The wheel boxes are in the form of long sleeves and the wheels can be set in or out for different widths of rows. The seed mechanism is driven by a chain receiving power from a sprocket on the sleeve of the wheel. This one had a middlebreaker furrow opener.
One wheel is missing from the display planter.
