A very simple old style planter with no fertilizer it might pull ok.

It won't have the hyd to lift a heavy 4 row, and it won't have the
power to pull a 4 row with 4 fertilizer openers.

I've pulled a 4 row JD 7000 with dry fertilizer with a New
Holland 1720, which is a 27 hp front wheel assist compact,
with a strong hydraulic pump. I had to drive slow (which
resulted in one of the better corn stands I've had...). It needed
all the power, it needed the 4wd and weight on the tractor in
loose or wet ground, and it needed the 2000#+ hydraulics to
lift the planter. It was a good planting year, not difficult
conditions. My other tractors woulda pulled it better, but didnt
have the hydraulics to lift it. I tried. (Regular planter tractor the
injector pump died....)

I'd say an N would not make it for all 3 reasons. But an older,
wheel lift, no fertilizer setup might go. But it would be tough.

I see a lot of folk making 2, 3, and 4 row 3pt hitch planters out
of the 7000 units. Very spendy, but if the tractor 3pt could lift
them, I'd think they would work?
