@Mtnfarmer. I’m looking at buying a planter. I’m trying to decide between a jd 71 setup or a 7000 series like what you have. I’d appreciate your opinion on which one you’d pick and why. Thanks in advance!
I have a very similar 2 row planter that I’m trying for the first time this year. I’m curious what seed depth you’re targeting for your corn, and also what type of seed meter you’re using? Thanks for your feedback!
When I adjust mine to be good and level in the field the problem I have is at the end of my rows when I pick it up to turn around the unit doesn’t come off the ground all the way...my closing wheels stay on the ground and when I turn am afraid I’m going to bend or break the closing wheels. What is my problem and How do I fix this problem?
Shorten the lower links equally. On each link arm there should be at least two hole positions, remove the pin and place in the hole closes to the machine. Same with top link hole on tractor, use lowest on tractor and highest on machine so when you lift up it tilts it towards the tractor.You may be able to shorten the top link.
Nice Video, I have R4's on my 2 series tractor and want to go to R1's because I heard they have much more traction than mine, I see that your tires are on the lower end of life and was curios to know how long they had been on and how much longer they will last with their current tread height, Thnxs
This one has a small cowl that can adjust to different seed sizes. I'm looking at equipment and have been learning a lot. About to buy a farm in Missouri!
I have a question for you. As far as your corn seed do you use all the same as far as maturity not asking for your secrets I don't need to know the variety or how many day just if you plant all the same corn seed. For example all 96 day corn
Great video! I have a very similar planter.

Those tires have been on for 15 years. I rarely run it on pavement. I will run them down a little more maybe another year or two before I change them.
How does that type of planter work with seeds? Say you want to plant other seeds, sunflowers, green bean seeds, etc.. since its a plateless planter.

What model two row planter is that? And can you buy that or just made it off a planter with more rows?
It is a 7000 John Deere that was cut down and put on a three point hitch. I got this one from RDH outdoors.

Yes I started using the same variety a couple of years ago.
What spacing is that? 30 inch?
Do you have plans to plant things other than corn? What all can you plant besides soybeans and corn?
We grow a little bit of everything and it varies from year to year. I just use the planter to plant corn.
How can I contact Edward Schultz?
Como marcas
What sprocket set up on transmission are you using?
I will look and see I don't remember off the top of my head.
Thanks for watching
Does anyone know the model of this planter?
It's a RDH outdoors planter built from 7000 John Deere planter
Looks like ohio
Its the mountains of western North Carolina
Thanks for watching
