Schlegel Farms, Hagerstown Indiana | I'm looking at a 9 row J. Deere 7000 splitter planter (4 row with 5 row splitter).
What are the good, bad and ugly on these? Is there a problem with the clutch driving that many rows (has a long chain that goes back to splitter)?
Also, getting it home:
It is about 100 miles from my house.......How hard would it be to pull one of these home with a pick-up truck? Do the caster wheels on the splitter trail good and not wobble going down the road? What about tires and wheel bearings on a trip like this (there is only two tires on the planter and two on the splitter)?
If I try and haul it, the lift assist wheels are far enough apart it would take a trailer with some sort of out riggers.
What do you think.......haul, or pull it home?
.... TIA .......................................Mark |
