Deere Wire Check Rower Endorsed for Deere and Moline Planters
The Deere Wire Check Rower is made for the Deere and Moline Rotary Drop Planters and works best on them.

Early 1883 reports praise its fit, range of customers note it fails on non Deere planters, and the maker claims Deere Planter and Rower lead while competitors follow.
