4 row planter

[deere755]

Would my 4700 4wd pick up a 4 row 7000 Deere planter with no markers ok? I have 4 front weights but can ad 4 more I believe.

"pick up" as with the FEL, or is this planter on a 3 ph? Not sure when you mention front weights so am thinking maybe this is on the 3 ph.

And I would expect it would handle the load on the rear - with front weights.

I thought the 7000 planters were pull type, not 3 ph.

Or are you asking if the hydraulics will lift the pull type planter out of the ground?

I should have been more specific. It is a 7100 planter. I am a little worried about keeping the front end on the ground with a 4 row. The dealer says it should be ok. Like I said I can add 4 more weights to the front if i need to. Thanks for the reply.

That does make a difference.
The dealer says it works, so you should be able to hold him to it if it doesn't. Seems the FEL will help if need be.
If not, then going larger tractor may be necessary.

Only problem is I don't have a loader on it.

The 7100 has wheels. Why would it be difficult to pick it up?, you just hook up the hoses and pull the lever.

they made some that were mounted. (3 point). and others have taken units off bigger drawn planters and made 2-4 row food plot type planters.

I'm pretty sure he's asking because he knows its a 3 point model.

to answer the question....

i have a model 71 planter with the big fiberglass hoppers. I lift it no problem with a 3320 full of seed. i previously used a 2520 to do it as well. and i've done it without a loader on the front.

I think the 7100 has a bigger bar usually so there will be some more weight, and the units are probably a little heavier as well. but empty of seed id have to guess no problem with a 4700.

The 7000 was pull type with wheels. 7100 same row units as a 7000 but was a 3ph unit.

I've always wondered what a 7100 was too never seen one up here i'l sell you an 8 row 38in row 7000 for $1500
