I believe you can get a fertilizer box for the 71. I've seen 71's in a couple different configurations over the past couple of years. However whenever I've seen a cut down version (1 or 2 row planter) I have not seen a fertilizer box on it.
EDIT: According to my JD 71 Flexi-Planter Operator's Manual (Dealer Service Shop Copy, #OM-A41062 Issue C0) there are multiple attachments including: "Insecticide and/or Herbicide Attachment"; "Fertilizer Hopper"; and "Fertilizer Drive Wheel". The fertilizer box requires a seperate drive wheel that fits between the rows, the fertilizer hopper fits in front of the seed hoppers. The herbicide and insecticide hoppers can be used independantly or together and mount behind the seed hopper. Now the reason I think I have not seen any of these hoppers on the cut down units is because the fertilizer hopper is HUGE, and probably has more capacity than someone who uses a cut down 2 row planter would use. But that is just my guess.
