Sorry about no info on the planter.  I use 4 John Deere planters mounted on 
a draw bar.  They're older than dirt.  Each has a seed bin and changeable, 
rotating plates in the bottom of the bin.  The number and spacing of notches 
on a plate determines plant spacing.  Plant spacing can also be changed with 
drive chains and sprockets.
