I've got the insecticide boxes on my 7200 planter. Like you I'm organic, so won't be using them for that purpose, but I've been told I could add micro nutrients that my soils test says I need - zinc, sulfur, boron and so on - from that box into the row. I'll be trying that next spring. This was a helpful video. I've bought some equipment before, and will probably do it again, where I didn't know exactly what to look for and so end up overpaying. or having to do work on it. I think of it as going to school and I'm paying tuition. You gotta learn somehow.
Wish you would've mentioned cost. I have a six row also that i just put all the liquid hoses on and got the squeeze pump working good. Added a tank and its ready but it still could've used a few of those wide rubber wheels.. one gave me issues in beans last year getting our wet clay packed in behind it.. and its wet this year so I may need to go ahead and replace a few.. maybe some scrapers too.. boy they sure do a pretty job of planting. I love to see how straight i can make the rows with the markers. I need to figure out how to get them to both go down at the same time because i like to start away from the edge a ways so you aren't forced to follow your first crooked pass along the edge. 😆
I did the whole liquid set up for under $1,200. All the other upgrades I’ve put on over the years totaled around $3,000 minus the row cleaners. I replaced nearly every wear part I could. Shoup and Sloanexpress were life savers.
Yeah I looked at a bunch of more upgrades for it this year including that. But I’ll have some more exciting news in an upcoming video. I’ll be selling this planter.

Great video. Lots of help for me as I prepare to replace parts on my 7000 units. Thank you

When you get a 20/20 monitor get the wave vision seed tubes.

what we do is use the fertilizer boxes for seed bags so you can refill in the field
Lol Im so gonna do that now! 😄 Thanks for the tip!
Those notched seed opener disks are two different disks per set/row. And you need the proper seed tube guard for those disks. It forms the bottom.
Ended up replacing seed tube guards and disks the next year. Actually just sold that planter.
Spending money on a planter is one of the best investments you can make. Only concern is now you are "married" to it money-wise!
