What's the difference between conservation, rigid frame, no-till, ect. planters? WWhat do you look for? It is kind of confusing. Would like to get one that could do conventional planting as well as no-till if necessary. Comments welcome.

Forgot to include I can hydraulically lift the coulter bar up if I choose not to use it. Some systems will allow you to run readily either way, some will not. Check the websites.

The photo is awfully grainy for my eyes to tell. If I had to guess I would say conservation (7 x 7) main frame. Get a dealer salesperson to help size it up for your needs. That's what I did because I got mine before I had a personal computer (1995).

As far as base frame goes the regular has a 5 x 7 main frame while the conservation has a 7 x 7 frame. Regular frame has single lift cylinder while conservation has a cylinder at each lift wheel. Fertilizer openers are double disc or single slicing disc for no-till. Markers are cable/hydraulic for regular or outboard cylinder on each marker for conservation. My preference would be the conservation. Things to note are the single disc fertilizer openers like rocks even less than the double disc. Many choices exist for no-till coulters from OEM or after market. Jump on the Deere, Unverferth, Yetter websites and look around. I have the Unverferth full coulter sub frame assembly that my 7000 in turn pulls off from. Much less stress on the planter versus pulling on the planter tongue and then pushing off the planter frame. I have the conventional Deere planter and am pleased how the Unverferth has protected my 6 row planter. Coulter Carts with fertilizer systems are out there for more money. And there is used inventory out there on this. My next planter will be a 7200 or 1750 conservation although if the right conventional came along (money), I would not be afraid.

NY 986 has nicely outlined the differences. Your best choice depends on what "no-till" means to you. I've seen some machines that'll plant corn down a concrete hiway and, if you want to go into an old hay field and start planting, than get the sturdiest unit you can afford. You'll also have to think about getting enough weight to keep it in the ground. If, however, you just want to plant corn into last year's bean stubble, then you'll be fine with some of the coulter/trash whipper combos previously mentioned.
