Abstract
An apparatus for adapting a tool bar planting system to the front of an agricultural combine. The tool bar is secured to the front framework of the combine after the grain head has been removed. The tool bar includes folding extension arms that allow for various planting and transporting configurations. Planter seed units are attached to the tool bar and the extension units to complete the planting system. Seeds for the planter seed units are stored in the grain storage bin on the combine and delivered to the individual planter seed units by an air conveying system.
