Too old for me. Let me know if you see something like a JD 7000 4 row again.
John Deere 7000 corn planter - $4000
Thanks! I was kind of set on getting the conservation model though.
What’s the difference between this model and the conservation model? I’ve seen a few of them for sale but didn’t know how they were different.
"Conservation model" is a fancy name for no-till. So the 7000 conservation model is the same planter and yet it isn't. The conservation model has a heavier frame and a heavy spring loaded cutting disc in front of each planting unit to cut through the sod and stubble for no-till planting. Look for the opening discs in front of the planting units, right before and 2" beside the fertilizer discs, that's an easy clue as to what model it is.
That’s a nice find if it’s been well maintained.
I'd travel the distance to pick it up if it were a 4 row! Still looking.Not the Northeast, but a good deal nonetheless.

This is a fair price for a really good unit.
It's the same unit, it could be converted pretty easily. But the cost of the 3 pt attachment plate would put the unit out of budget.
