First off hello. I just purchased a 7000 4 row planter. I have several questions. The cylinder is gone and was wanting a replacement and was curious about how well aftermarket ones held up or if I should spend the money on a actual Deere cylinder. The row markers I?m not sure if the actuator in the frame works. It looks like a mouse nest is in there and plan to remove one marker to see. Was curious how to plumb the hydraulics so the markers will work. Also the planter is set up on 36? rows. It looks like I can slide them tighter but have measured and looks like 30? would come in contact with my drive wheel and tire. Didn?t know how critical it would be. I do not profit farm it?s all hobby and my goal is food plots for corn and sunflowers. I have done some research and found out that I can use the corn meters I have for sunflowers. I?m new to this planter but can weld and fab just curious for some advice. Here is a pic
