Friendly place to trade Planet Jr. garden and farm equipment information.
The picture is a model AT tractor. It came with a TORO engine. It was the first walk behind Planet Jr. tractor model made by the S.L. Allen Co. (There was an earlier 4 wheel ride on model that was made, but it never caught on.) The AT was made from about 1928 to 1930. Steel wheels were standard back then. Rubber tires weren't available until the mid 1930's when they became optional equipment. This one is owned by Ray Turner from Mich.

I think it is probably a matter of personnal preference as both seeders work good. My father had one of the seeders with the slide lever and used it for years
