Subject: What's this White 6100 4RN w/ Splitter Worth?


Sourthern WI
We have upgraded from this White 6100 4RN with 3 row splitter to a 6RN planter so we match planting rows to corn head rows. I'm trying to gauge what our 4RN planter is worth. It had 1400 acres on it when I got it and now the base unit has around 1550 acres. It's an exceptionally tight planter. We put on the v style closing wheels so they only have 150 acres on them. I replaced the brushes when I got it (didn't really need to) and have removed the seed disks after each spring so they still look like new. This planter had been only used with conventional till before we got it. I'd like to keep the yetter no till combo's but would sell it with the heavy duty down pressure springs and set back units if the buyer wanted. There are not a lot of planters like this out there, but I've found a few comparable 4 rows without splitters and unknown number of acres and they are around $10k (seems a touch high for just a base planter). In our area (Southern Wisconsin), a 5100 4 row that has been rebuilt a few times goes for $4-$5k. Let me know your thoughts. TIA.

Here is my White 6100 planter that I use to plant 30" corn and 15" beans.  The base 4 row planter had only planted 1500 acres when I purchased it.

I've configured this planter for no till by adding Yetter no-till combos with Shark Tooth trash whippers, v-style closing wheels and heavy duty down pressure springs. I'm also a fan of Keeton row firmers so I added those as well.

Pictured above in black is the row unit set-back attachement. To save cost, I cloned these as well. By reverse engineering the White originals and outsourcing the fabrication, I saved $75/row over purchasing new ones from AGCO.
