295 planter vs 296 planter???

Guys, I"ve been looking for a planter to do some sweet corn and found one that appears to be a 296? It has the shoe for the furrow opener. I see pictures of 295 planters and they have the double disk openers on them. Was there a 296? Or is the ad mistyped? Can a 295 come with true vee openers or the shoe type? These are a little before my time. Thanks for the help.
 
Do you know if they are a chore to change over? I know they"re different models but I"d think they"d be similar.
 
Same core disc just bolted on.

Think part of the shoe came off but not entirely sure as I never changed to the disc's
 
A hill drop planter would usually drop 3 seeds at a time about a row width apart. The early planters would operate with a wire with knots spaced a row width apart. The wire was stretched across the field and fed through a mechanism on the planter. The knots would trip the mechanism and let 3 kernels fall at a time. The later planters had a power drop where you didn"t have to use the wire. This was in the days where they cultivated the fields both ways as they did not have the chemicals.
 
Ok thanks. That's what is referred to here as a "check row" planter. Learn something new everyday. Thanks.
 
Although related, hill drop and checkrow are two different things. A checkrow planter uses the check wire to control a hill drop mechanism. Many hill drop planters do not have a check row capability. (I doubt that any 296 planters were set up for check rows.)
