John Deere 7000 4 rows in Eastern Iowa are bargain buys. Without liquid and dry fertilizer attachments and NO no-till coulters I have seen them sell for $375.00 in good shape. Most of the time stripped down 7000's run about $700. Alot of planter for $700 I think. Some even have the no-till coulters for that price. With dry or liquid fertilizer boxes/openers and no till coulters most can be bought for under $1500.00 privately. Dealers are between $1500 and $3000 for the same planter. At one time the planting units were highly sought after to make bean planters. That has slowed a great deal dropping the prices sharply. I had one with the no-till coulters on the planter unit and one with the coulters coming down from the main frame. I really do not see a big difference at all. The ones on the planting unit will bring more money. Actually in rocky, hard, tough soils I think the ones on the main frame would be better. I have seen units bent when the no till coulter hits something when it is attached to the planting unit itself. Great planter for the money. I still have two. Like you I am a small farmer and have a 4 row, 30" "Conservation" planter for corn and a 7 row, 19" planter for soybeans. The bean planter has splitters on it. The "Conservation" planter has a larger main frame. Seed spacing and depth is amazing. I can plant soybeans 1/8" to 1/4" deep.

Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
