[The first planter is a drill, the other three are row planters.]

I was expecting modern drills to be much wider.

It sounds like the Dad of The Farmer's Wife owns a drone. Skip to about 2:56 for the more useful views. But he never did get a view from the side. That is what I was after because the other video said this one would have a side view.


76' and 90' John Deere planters:
Video of "76-foot 1870 Air Hoe Drill and 1910 Air Cart by John Deere." Evidently John Deere makes planters at least 90-feet wide because here is a video of using two tractors to pull out a big tractor that got stuck pulling a 90' planter and its cart. Imagine the ruts the sprayer and combine are going to hit. You can see some more ruts in the foreground. I would think a JD planter would allow you to remove some of the wings so that they could use a narrower planter for wet fields.
