I am looking to purchase a planter in the near future, as I'd like to plant some corn. I'm looking for a beginner type planter for my small acreage (about 50 row crop acres) the JD 7000 seams like a popular planter. I see them listed for sale quite a bit for $2000-$8000. They all seem to be bragging about different features, I see things such as finger pick up, double disk openers, bean meters, transmission drive,seed firmers, row cleaners, etc.
Some of this really confuses me, to the point that I don't even know what I'm really looking for. If I'm looking for a good simple, proven design, for a simple smaller operation, what features would you say I really need, or should be specifically looking for?
I am doing full tillage on Central MN ground that is pretty heavy clay based soil.
Also, Any thoughts on dry vs. liquid fertilizer for a small guy like me just starting out?
