Planting corn with a Super C and lister

Brendon-KS · Apr 21, 2012

Here's a picture of a member of our club, Gerald, planting corn at the Goessel, KS show grounds. The paint on the tractor and lister are immaculate but he wasn't afraid to get it dirty. Gerald said the lister isn't 100% correct as the original would have mounted on the axle but his has been set up to mount on the Fast Hitch. The little Super C ran as good as it looked.

Nice picture. I collect Super C fast hitch implements and would love to find a FH lister in that kind of shape !

What's the dates of the Goessel show this year? I have meant to get there for a few years, but have not done it yet.
Spent may hours on a Fast-Hitch equipped Super C from 1956 thru 1960, but our planter was front mounted. I would love to spend a few more hours on one plowing and/or disking. Nice looking rig Gerald has there.

Great picture.

Hey Mark, shoot me an email. I collect mounted and fast hitch
implements for the Super C also. Got most of everything I want and
some extra's. I'm looking for a pair of disc openers for the fertilizer
on my C251 fast hitch planter.

I live in east central Illinois. I never saw a lister until I got involved with Crescent Forge & Shovel. They have tooling to make many brands of lister btms. Their customer base was all over the US plus some export.Was listers used for ridge planting of ??? vegetables,potato.I notice their is a lot of request for parts in the West & South West USA mostly IHC. & Deere.

Hi Earl, Just was wondering what the status of Crescent Forge is. Sounds like you`re talking like it`s still in business ?

Used here in Kansas for corn and milo. Got the seed down in the moisure and as the crop grows, it is covered deeper when cultivating as the lister ridges are worked down. Now with more "no-till' or minimum till, it's not as popular, but still used some. Also a lot more irrigation than years ago. With the Ogalalla aquifer depleting, listers may come back some day.
