i have rebuilt my 7000 twice all ready. i plant beans and corn with it. i get my parts from shoup manufacturing in kankakee illinois. my neighbor has a brand new deere planter and i WILL put mine right next to his any day. and i do we have fields right next to each other. my yields this year was pretty much the same as his. my 1 neighbor still plants with a deere 1240 and does good
An air die grinder and some carbide bits work great for making slots and holes a bit larger and keep smooth edges. Torches are easy to make a mistake with sometimes
Thanks for sharing I really enjoy watching and learning how you and your family at large go about running a small dairy farm. Looking forward to the continuation of this episode 😊
I started with putting precision meters in it and was using liquid fertilizer and nitrogen but have found out if I just spread everything much more efficientl and definitely replace the frogs for the planter and replace all springs on row units and get rid of the closing wheels one spiked and one cast and new springs on those to just what I did to mine after first year
I would also have the finger pickup units run on a test stand and anything that needs replacing, replaced,I have percision meters which have ajustable brushes for different size seed.on your seed openers you can check the distances with 2 buisness cards, there are washes behind each opener disk to adjust to correct tolerances,just google this .also on your depth gauge wheel arms where the mustache meets the gauge wheel arm it will wear a divot in the arm,I believe on a 7000 you can switch the two arms on each row unit ,left side to right,right to left which will turn them upside down onto a divot less arm as long as they have not already been switched,I have heard that you can also weld the divot up and then grind it flat , also you should index your planter depth,setting the seed depth handles all in the same position does not mean all row units are planting the same depth,you can also google this procedure for a better explanation
I guess i didn't pay attention in the spring. Did you plant all the corn with that planter and is it 30" spacing? Can the mounted picker pick 30" rows?

Yes, Shoup Manufacturing is a great source of parts.
Interesting video. The metal flowers look like a nice, creative gift!
Great project. I've enjoyed it so far.
Getting it ready plenty far in advance. Good man!
Thanks for posting

It will now run like dream next spring.
I'm not sure Dad would approve of that bearing packing technique
I'd buy a couple flowers. Cool idea
Nice video Aaron
That seed tube guard also acts as a scraper for the inner side of the disk openers. I would replace that tube guard whenever you put on new openers.

Hi Aaron, The rivet on the outboard seed tube shield doesn't look long for this world and the rear bolt appears to be missing 😉
I guess i didn't pay attention in the spring. Did you plant all the corn with that planter and is it 30" spacing? Can the mounted picker pick 30" rows?
So are you hoping to get land for corn/bean rotation or are you also considering land with alfalfa also?
Tip: never use more force, just get a bigger hammer. 😉
i didn't hear no F bomb!
