It is a later model John Deere. No till. Maybe a 7000 model. Probably a plateless planter. No doubt a cutdown model from a wider 6 or more row planter.

I attached a E bay add for John Deere 71 planter which is a plate type planter. This one had a buy it now $1499 with free shipping. There are a lot of planters on E-Bay. Tritonman who is sometimes on the forum has planters for sale and would be a good source of info on planters.

I just recently planted corn the first time ever and loved it. I was using a old JD and im not sure what the model was. I have a total of 4 acres I will plant and if I can find one here soon then I will plant the rest of my land. I only planted about 1.5 acres so far. I planted .75 acres in sweet corn and the rest in silage corn. I am doing this for wildlife/Hobby.

How much money can be made if I did all sweet corn and sold it on a road side stand. Like I say I’m in it for fun but the sweet corn can definitely burn a whole in my pocket as expensive as it is.

I like the idea of having a fertilizer box on the planter as well but it is not rill important cause I can just spread the firt with my regular spreader before I drag harrow the field.

Based off of what I have read on here, more people stand behind the JD 71 then any other planter. There are tons of ford 309 planters for sale around me and I just don’t know weather to go with one of them or buy a jd 71 and drive 4 plus hours to pick it up. What do you think about this old international planter: 2 Row Corn Planter
What would you all do if you were in my shoes?

Thanks guys,
John

That looks like a 295 International planter--I have a 1 row #295 for $595. I also have 2 JD planters coming out of the shop this week, 3 Massey Ferguson #39's, 1 Case 2 row and 3 Ford 309's. Also stock the New 1 row Covington TP46 for $1395 with fertilizer and cultivator and 4 different seed plates. Ken Sweet

Not sure on that one. I was hopping it was similar to this http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/build-yourself/35610-2-row-planter.html

That's a first generation Deere MaxEmerge 7000 series planter. There is probably more aftermarket "stuff" available for that planter than any other brand/model. (ie row cleaners, coulters, ect) They have enough weight per row to do some REAL no till planting. Lighter planters will get seed in the ground, but not at consistant depth, especially in tough conditions. Just because a planter has disc openers, it's not always able to no till CORRECTLY.

There was (is?) a guy here in Kentucky that does the 2-row Deere 7000 planters and sells them around $1100 for conventional and $1300 for no-till. (It's been a few months since I've seen one of his adds...) I'll do a little digging and see what I can find. Seems like he was from somewhere around Winchester Ky?

I don't recall the model # of the IH planters right off the top of my head, but they were essentially IH's version of the Deere 70/71 series. Decent planters even if they are IH.....

It's easy enough to build a liquid fertilizer system on a 71 planter, or install Gandy side dressers and use a Deere disc fertilizer opener. (for dry fert) They're easy to find. (Were used on 494/495 style planters) Best reason for a Deere planter is availability of OEM parts and availability of aftermarket parts....Others are good, Deere just happens to be great in that area.

The ONLY knock I have on the Ford 309 is it has runner openers. Disc openers are FAR more forgiving. (speed, rough field, ect) Good planters otherwise...

Farmwithjunk,

You are filled with knowledge on planters! I have a 4000-pound tractor. Do you think I can handle a 7000 series? If so that would be awesome if you could find out a way for me to get a hold of the guy in Kentucky you were talking about!

Thank you; thank everybody for your great knowledge!

John

I hope thats not him because his prices are actualy rill high. That one is just a special because it doesnt have a drive gear so the seed spacing is 5.5 inches no matter what. It is also non adjustable on width. However would this planter fill my needs given that I am going to plant silage corn and sweet corn? I am not rilly sure about the seed spacing and it seems like I hurd that you need at least 40" rows for sweet corn?

Again Thanks,
John

That's the one I was thinking about. Like I said, it's been a while.

Guys,

I am thinking about buying this planter. http://www.tractorhouse.com/listingsdetail/detail.aspx?OHID=5541597&
It says that it does not have a transmision and the seed placement is 5.5". I Will be planting about 3 acres of corn with it every year. My primary use would be for food plots but I would also like to plant about .5 acre of sweet corn with it. Will the 5.5" seed placment be to closs for sweet corn? If so how hard would it be for me to fabricate this planter to make the seed placment more? I would not need to adjust it. I would leave it set and use it on the same setting for both sweet and silage corn.

Thanks,
John
