Find a 7100 in reply to JMR(SC), 11-19-2006 08:58:40

A 7100 is a 3pt mounted version of the 7000. You would need to cut down the transmission if you wanted to get narrower than 30 inches but everything slides no problem with them. I turned a 36 inch planter into a 22 inch planter this past spring.

This might be more of a job than I want.

Depends on which one you start with. The 4 row wide doesn't narrow so easily. You have to cut and weld the wheel frame because its not adjustable. You need a new hole in the hex shaft for the ground drive clutch (and there might be two). The row units slide. Been there done that.

6 row wide and other bigger wide planters, every thing but the marker slides. E.g. are U-bolted to the bar.

On my 4 row narrow, I have to run the marker where the far front wheel of the tractor is, not centered on the tractor. But since I can see that point much better, I achieve a much more precise guess row. I also separated lift and marker cylinder hydraulics to get the marker on the ground at the end of the row, which helps me too.

I also replaced the clevis with a trailer hitch and use a ball on the tractor drawbar that I've bolted down. That way I get less marker steering and more consistent and straighter rows.

I have heard the 7000 series has the wheel brackets in the way, you need to grind off & reweld, kind of a pain. The 7200 series you just unbolt & slide moreso.

Just the 4 row wide has to be cut and welded. Everything larger is held to the beam with u bolts.

At least that's what my 7000 parts book and owner's manuals say.

Yep, just start sliding stuff together,,on the drawn planters,some hydralic fittings may be to be relocated if welded in the frame,,Ive done it on White planters down to 18 inch spacing for beans,,easy to do,,,billy
