What will I have to pay for a JD 7000

corn planter set up for no till or at least the trash whippers on them, 6 row, possibly 8 row-30". Preferably liquir fert. I am just wondering what some of you folks south of me in MN see these bringing in your area. My corn is, planted by a friend, but I would like to start shopping now for next year as it looks like I may be aquiring an additional 70 acres next spring. Also, if you know where one is let me know.
 
Dave here in Southerm Mn,auctions I've been to,7000's(6 and 8row) are bringing pretty good money.3-$4500. Used trash whips alone are $175-200/row. JD or Kinze bean meters drive the price up too.

We have a little over 3 grand into our 7000 8row 30" dry fert.(including an 8row wide parts machine).

Do you get "The Land" paper? A few of them in the last issue.
 
Last I checked, Dawn trash whippers were about $280 a row new. I found some at Sean Coogley's place next to Colfax Tractor Salvage (Colfax Iowa) for less. Maybe $150 a row, I also bought Kinze bean meters for $60 a row (run about $110 new) but had to put in brushes for another $15 a row or so. Kinze bean meters beat the JD bean cups a hundred miles on even and economical bean planting. Kinze bean meters count, bean cups spill.

The 4 row planter that I have planted 400 acres a year in its early life. Some day I'll sell it with rebuilt finger units, trash whippers, maybe liquid fertilizer openers and Kinze units. Its 30", it was 38 in its early life but I changed that.

A good 6 row will sell for $4k and up, and a poor 6 row will need a lot of work with tail pieces and gauge wheel arms to make it plant good. To say nothing about rebuilding or replacing finger units.
