jd 7000 planter

(quoted from post at 18:34:18 11/07/14) I put an end transport on my 8 row Cyclo. I found it by advertising here in the classifieds. Guy was parting one out. He removed it for me and loaded it in my truck. I grabbed a lot of other parts while I was there. You will REALLY like end transport. Makes it a lot easier to move, even between fields.

(quoted from post at 07:13:21 11/08/14) How I stored a JD ridge 8 row planter for years, was just build a sled out of two long 6x6 posts. I found some wide channel iron that the tries would fit in. I put the post about four feet apart. Then cut four foot sections of the channel iron. I laid them down flat on the top of the post with the "C" up. I then lag screwed the channel iron down to the post. In the middle I cut one of the channel iron pieces long enough that it would reach the front of the frame to where the transport holder for the tongue jack was. The jack could be turned down.

I would back the planter up in the sled and then let it down. The units set on the back post. The jack landed on the front half of the one cross iron. I then just removed the tongue.

I drilled a 3/4 hole in each end of the posts. I looped a cable through each side separately. I just would back up with my quick hitch on the tractor. The loops would hook into the lower links on the hitch. So I could pick one end up. Then I just would slide it into the shed.
