In Reply to: 7000 Row Planter? posted by Hunter74 on March 18, 2021 at 06:13:30:
Here's my thoughts:
A 7000 in a drawn configuration will no till into sod, bean stubble, etc with little or no modification. Knowing what we know now, I'd say you'd be fine with no no-till coulter ahead of the planting unit, but you might want a row cleaner, especially if planting corn after corn. A spiked closing wheel on one or both sides can help as well, but we ran ours for 20 plus years without. Some heavier duty down pressure springs would be good to have, too.
My only concern: I'm not sure with the 3 point plot planters commonly seen if there is enough weight on the tool bar. I plant with fertilizer on the planter, so there is plenty of weight for the planter... if the planter is too light, and the ground hard, strong springs won't help the units into the ground, they will lift the main toolbar of the planter. If the ground is hard, you may need to add a little ballast to the tool bar. Planting at a slower ground speed will also help the planter get in the ground and stay there at a consistent depth. I'd aim to stay below 4 mph.
