Subject: Re: Building a 20" planter from a JD 7000


nw MN
I have thought about that too. I wanted to plant on 22" rows here, for the potential yield increase, but the only affordable 22" planters around here are 3point. I wanted a drawn planter, so I ended up with a non folding 12r30 7000. One thing I noticed is that the hitch is very light with the seed boxes full, If all of the lift wheels moved to the front it would definitely have negative tongue weight. I kicked around a lot of ideas, from adding a second toolbar to the rear of the planter, to adding a 3point hitch so I can mount a 7100 like an interplant. Both those options would mess up weight distribution too, so the rear toolbar or planter may need a lift assist or something? And after all that it would be a huge PITA to fill seed boxes. Maybe the best option might be to get Kinze "push" units for the front of your planter.
