I only farm 140 acres, and have used an ancient planter (only plant corn; not beans) thinking of upgrading to a JD 7000 6 row with min till coulters that's going to auction down the road. What key things should I look at to avoid buying problems? What kind of money would be in the ballpark; $2500 to $3,500? Thanks much!

Also check the guage wheel arms for wear. The guage wheels should not pull away from the disk openers.Check the bolts and bushings in the parallel linkage arms for wear, these should be tight. Check the ends of the seed tubes and make sure that they are not broken off.

Tom, You are right on the money for a 6-30" 7000. Check disk openers for loose bearings. If the disk opener blades are 14 inches or less they should be replaced. If you buy the planter, the best money you can spend is to take the finger pick-up units to your JD dealer and have him run them on a test stand using the seed corn that you usually plant. Should last many years on 140 acres. Good luck.

Are you wide or narrow rows?
I have a 6 row wide 3pt 7000 for sale.

I think I was in the same boat as you are. I planted with an old 494a planter but 2 years ago i got a 7000 4 row. What a dream to operate !! With hydraulic markers even !!!! no more marker trouble. I got one with the finger pickup style instead of the rotating plates. Check to see what style is on it....my fingers were rebuilt 1 year before i got it. This style will plant all kinds of seed shapes with no problems. I gave $2,100 for mine and its in real nice shape. hope this helps some. :-)
