John Deere 7000 4 row planters bring between $600 and $1500 in Iowa. The $1500 price would be for a very good planter with fertilizer where there are competitive bidders. $600 would be for one at a farm sale in the middle of the summer with no attachments... might be a little rough too. Dealers often ask between $1000 and $2000 for a 4 row machine. They are an excellent planter. I no-till all of my corn into bean ground and all of my beans in to corn ground with one. Mine has the coulters mounted on the main frame which Deere actually called the min-till coulter. These generally bring a little less than the row unit mounted coulters. I do believe one advantage of the row unit coulter is having a more uniform cutting depth for the no-till coulter. That way the seed doesn't drop into a deep slot cut by the coulter ... especially settling into the slot after rains. I equipped my planter with additional row units for beans. I plant 7 - 19 inch rows for beans with my 4 row 38 inch planter. Have a dry fertilizer drop with a double disk opener for each bean row. Works great. Bought another 7000 which I am moving to 30" corn. This one will plant corn and the other just beans now. All of the 7000's can plant no-till with the coulters. There were a few 7000's called "Conservation Tillage" planters right on the tongue. They had a 7" by 7" main frame rather than the 5" by 7" frame. Also maybe a heavier monitor wiring harness and some plastic under the seed hopper to keep trash from causing problems. These always came with heavy down pressure springs and row unit coulters. Expect to pay more money for one of these planters. Some plant corn right into bean stubble without the no-till coulters. The double disk opener system on a 7000 really cuts. In fact I no tilled beans into corn stalks without coulters on the three "add on" units with no problems.
