Bought a Planter, JD 7000

Got fresh rubber in while i was on vacation this past week. My buddy already got em mounted and back on the planter. Waiting on other parts to get here the next week, though new meters are back ordered and wont get here for a few more weeks. Pretty excited.

This is a great thread with lots of info. I used to run a JD 1240 back in the day for plots. I have toyed with the idea of also getting a 7000 unit, but want to cut it down and make it into a 3pt -4 row unit. Easier to move around and get on a trailer for travel purpose.

They are incredibly handy for smaller fields too. Super fast to turn around. I run a 4 row 7100 on 3 point. As you mentioned also trailerable which is a must for some people.

Make 2 and we'll split the cost :)

Old thread but thought a good place to start. I have a 4 row Deere 7100 planter (3-point version of the 7000). It does not currently have no-till coulters, nor are the mounting plates currently drilled for coulters. I need to drill holes and hoping I can get some pointers on easiest way to do it. Seems like it will be a very time consuming and awkward process. I don't think the mounting plates are large enough to use a mag drill. Any pointers, suggestions, or lessons learned are much appreciated. Tried searching online and didn't find much for laying out and drilling the holes.

Can you post a picture? I thought all of the row units came predrilled. That front plate is pretty big though. Almost think you could find enough surface to get a mag drill to stick. I guess it depends on the size of the drill.

Same urea- they just run a coating over top of it so it doesn’t evaporate. Bingo. Exactly right. Plots always gonna want treated urea while most ag operations run anhydrous which is not practical for plots or desireable if u want best ecological balance in soil (anhydrous nukes everything from earth worms to most beneficial living organisms). Minor but bottom line- treated urea..... available anywhere, cost effective & easy.

Skip, I’ve been told treated urea still evaporates, but it takes 2 weeks instead of 2 days. True? More than likely, you will get rain in 2 weeks even if that is true.

Ya, I’d say 2 weeks in about right. In spring - generally covers most cases. Mid summer- could be different dynamics. U start getting past 2 weeks, I’d be concerned.
Another way around this- few will do this…. Get polymer coated urea (can treat it yourself if someone wanted to spray it on - say on a tarp or mix in a tractor bucket). Some coops can get it or have it. Next would be spraying liquid N before planting or before the plants emerge.
