was thinking of trying to plant a few potato this year, what do you think of using a 2 row lister to make furrows and a go devil to cultivate with? any other tips or advise?

I kind of do it the same way. I plow and disk first to get the soil soft and churned up. I then take my Dearborn three-point-hitch culitivator and put three big shovels on the back. Makes three good and deep furrows perfect for potatoes.

I DO have an Iron Age one two row planter, but haven't gotten around to fix it. It's been in my shop for four years now.

dont see why it wouldn't work if you be sure to make rows wide enough.
