I never planted checked corn...was too young to do it, but my Dad did with his "team of grays" and a John Deere #999 2 row planter. I got to cultivate it with our Farmall '41 H equipped with a model 221 cultivator that had the steerable front gangs that connected to the tractor steering with a lever that stuck through the grill where that removeable panel is you see missing on a lot of Farmall H's and M's. It wasn't any fun going crossways, the tractor front went up and down,and up and down, but you could sure clean out the weeds real good. We tried to do it with the #290 John Deere tractor planter we got later on, it had the checking attatchment but it was just too much trouble getting off the tractor to reset the checkwire stakes at the ends of the rows. We hill dropped the corn (3-4 seeds in a single drop) instead and you could throw more dirt on the weeds because 3-4 corn plants in a bunch could take it without being covered up. Of course after the spraying came out we just drilled the corn like we do now because we didn't have to cultivate it when it was small.
