What's the difference between a JD 7000 conservati

I have a JD 7000 conservation 6 row. It has what appear to be factory no-till coulters on the front and cast press wheels. I also noticed the lift system is system is similar to the IH 800's, using 4 hydraulic cylinders (one for each wheel). I don't think I've seen this setup on any other 7000's, just the regular one hydraulic cylinder in the middle, and a rock shaft. Is this some special option? Also, are the down pressure springs heavier? Just curious. Bought this planter last June and it seems loaded for a 7000. The previous owner also added Kinze brush meters. Does anybody here know of a good, reasonably priced No-till marker I could add? I'm not too sure about the regular style. When did they quit making the 7000's? Thanks for the input.

I believe the frame tube is larger on your conservation as well. I imaging all the extra weight required the different lift, comparable to larger JDs.

My understanding is they were an early try, certainly not a no-till drill, but somewhere in between.

The conservation planter was set up to no till thus it had the colters and heavier. They went to the wheel cylinders because the rock shaft was aweak point with the extra weight of no till equipment.

The markers should be heavy enough.Around here guys didn't modify the markers for no till and they worked fine.You just spin or twist the disc on the end to make it more aggressive to leave a mark. If they are busted up on that one they must have hooked it on a tree or something. Yes the springs should be heavier also on the conservation and adjustable for the conditions.

Which coulters does it have? The coulters mounted to the row unit and not the frame work better in this area.

Hope this helps.

I believe the coulters are mounted on thier own frame in the front and have their own heavy springs.

Most guys didn't like those as well that were on the frame instead of unit because they did not follow the ground as well.
Over humps or valleys they were to deep or to shallow instead of the gauge wheels on the unit holding them up or letting them down.

Usually ahead farther and did not followw in line on contour or curved rows.

Just my thoughts.
