I own a Massey Ferguson GC1715 tractor with front end loader, around 25 HP. I bought a little JD Flex 71 corn planter, and I didn't like it from the start. I really want a two row JD7000 with 3 pnt hook up, but they get big bucks for these things. I can buy a 4 row JD7000 for darn near half the cost of the 2 row. I know I can hook up the hydraulics for the ram on the planter to the front end loader hydraulic lines. So, is the 4 row too much weight for this little tractor? Tractor is 4 wheel drive with differential lock.

it would be a load, buy it and take 2 rows off if you have to

You are about to learn why the two rows are expensive. I do not think you will be happy with the four row. Agree with whiz- buy it try it and then chop it. Keep one of the extra planters for parts, or sell the outsides to someone who wants to make their own two row.
