I am looking at a 7000 cornplanter that has 34" rows and was wondering how hard it is and if it is possible to narrow down to 30"? Also what is everyones opinion on these? The guy selling it told me the only reason that he"s selling is the John Deere dealer in his area went out of business so he bought a new white. I have a 1240 plate planter now and would like to upgrade a little.

I moved the wheel brackets in 8in and rewelded them on lift shaft then reworked markers it was a lot of work but it works great

34 inch rows? Did he plant corn with it? If he planted only beans, you'll need to replace the bean cups with finger units. Ask the owner if they come with the planter.

Are you planning on 4RN or 6RN? Was the unit 4RW or 6RN before he modified it? If you're going 6RN and it was a 4RW unit, the frame will be too small.

Just last weekend, I picked up an 8R36 7100 to modify into an 8R22. I'll be starting that project this month.

The 7000/7100 is a great planter. Simple, accurate, affordable.

The guy used the planter to plant corn and to my knowledge he never planted soybeans. I want to plant corn with it and I would like to go down to 4 row 30". My sprayer with the boom setup is just right for 30" rows. Soybeans don't grow well in our area we have to short a growing season.

How many # of row is it? Every thing should slide together if the lift or transport wheel mounts are not in the way. Do some measuring on those mounts to see where they will end up in relation to the row units.
Some frames had two sets of mounting brackets for the wheels.

A 4rw 7000 will not 'slide' into a 30 inch planter. With a torch, yes, it can be done, but from factory- no. It is simply not made to be adjusted down to a 30 inch machine. Row units are identical, but the frame is not made for it. Just look at the operator manual for a 7000- it explains how the planter can be adjusted for various row widths, given the frame setup.

It is a four row planter. When I looked at it today it looked like there might be a couple inches that you could move the units before they hit the transport wheels. I talked to my AGCO dealer and he said it could be done but that it would take 2 of his guys a whole day. That is a little salty at $100 an hour.

That unit should have the transport wheels welded on the frame, & they do not allow you to go to 30 inches. You would need to cut & reweld.

I assume that is why it is at 34", a very uncommon mark. As narrow as he could go. You need to allow a few inches for flex & mud. Not possible to go to 30 inches.
