I"m in the market for a "new" corn planter for the few acres that I do and would like to find a decent Deere 7000 planter. 4 row, wide, dry fertilizer, don"t need no-till, etc. What should be the ballpark of prices to see? I"m in tri-state area of SW Wisconsin.
So far $2500-3500 are the prices I"ve come across, which seem high considering that they are 4RW. Do 7000s retain value that well or are they now getting bought up for food plots, so prices are getting set high?
I"ve got a 1240 that needs an overhaul and trying to debate whether to sink more money in that or upgrade. Gut says to upgrade but not sure if I can justify the expense. I know that parts are easy to find for 7000s, but I"d really like to find something that doesn"t need a lot of work. Got enough projects in line for my attention.
