Planting Chestnuts

I managed to collect some chestnuts that the deer and squirrels didn't get and decided to plant the nuts at our cabin property. I modified my 3-point hitch middle buster to plant chestnuts/walnuts by attaching a steel pipe behind the main shank and sub-soiler chisel point. The steel pipe allows me to drop the nuts into a furrow created by the sub-soiler.



It didn't take too long to plant approximately 400 chestnuts in this field. Hopefully the squirrels won't find all the chestnuts I planted and a few trees will grow.
