What would it take to convert a JD 7000 planter from 6 row to 4? How hard would this be?
I want to do this, so I can get a narrow row unit. All the 4 rows planters I find for sale are wide rows and I don?t think they are adjustable to 30 inch.
I found a 7000 that is 6 row narrow. I?m thinking about buying it and making it 4 row.
Can I just:
Take off the markers
Take off one planting unit on each end.
Get someone to cut the main bar, with a blowtorch or metal cutter.
And cut the smaller ?power? bar
Put the markers back on.
Is that it?
The wheels and the drive shaft are inside the 4 rows.
How hard it is to remove the markers? Do I just remove the 2 nuts on the big U bolts that go around the main bar?
Also: What is the smaller bar in the front, all the way across, parallel with the main bar? What does that do?
Thank you!
