If any body is interested and has hi speed internet or lots of patience here is another link to a 2 min video of a waterwheel planter working. This farm is much larger than ours. I don't know where it is.

Yep, It's harder than it looks. Once in a while I get someone else to drive and I sit back there and it takes a lot of coordination. I miss a lot of holes.
When we plant we put 2 rows of peppers on a single row of plastic. Our peppers are spaced 17" apart in each row about 1 foot between the rows. Idle 1st gear low range TA on with a CIH885 and it is still too fast. Maybe Allen will take that loader off that Hydro 70 and sell that gas burner to me. I'm sure it runs good now that he owns it. link to us planting peppers - 17 sec video

Phil:
From Michele's accent, I would say that farm is upper mid-west, Wiscansan, or near Chicago.

Are those water wheels commercially available?

Where do you farm?

Waterwheels are available commercially. I think the eastern PA Menonites developed the concept. Some are made down there. Does not seem to be any patent. For a link to a distributor goto
www.marketfarm.com
Cost is around $2000 +or - depending on accessories.

I farm a small sw PA farm about 30 miles north of Pittsburgh. 190 acres but less than 10 in vegetables. Over half is woods and steep.
