Friend saw this on http://www.ebay.com/itm/John-Deere-7000-CORN-PLANTER-6-Row/252880362701? do you all think it is worth $25.000
 
Please at least put the links on their own line all by themselves. It is so difficult to cut and past on this site with a tablet. I understand if you don't
highlight it below, that can be hard to figure out for none technical folk, but please always put links on their own line.

Anyhow, the high tech stuff they have added to it is probably $15,000 the base machine is $7000 these days, add in the labor and new parts,
and it probably is worth that.

This is why small implements and small farmers like us are going away, a bigger machine will cost less per row, and can be expensed over
more acres.

They will not get anywhere near that is today's planter market. It is a standard frame for one, not a conservation/notill unit. Plus you rarely can get face value out of attachments. Sell the unit as-is and then sell the fellow the attachments he wants. This is especially true on planters. There are literally thousands of combinations of attachments on a corn planter.

We put thousands of acres through our planters each spring. Before we install any attachment we have my DIL run the numbers and see what will economically pay for itself. Very few of the attachments will pay for themselves. Auto steer pays off. Individual row shut offs do with the lower price they cost today. Electric drives DO NOT, fun "toy" but do not pay the bill. Variable rate drives do not pay on our soils, maybe if you have widely varying soils they MIGHT. Starter fertilizer does not pay on highly productive ground, on low fertility ground it is crap shot. Some years it will increase yield and others not.

Now will a six row corn planter sell for $25K??? Yes, that one will not around here it is not fully equipped. It is the light frame and did not look like it had any type of row tillage or trash management on it.
 
You can almost bet you will get a weekend warrior hobby farmer that has more money than brains to buy it.A few years back I went to a auction a well used 477 haybine went for over $4,000 and a ragged out and never seen a shed in life NH baler went for over $7000 to a hobby farmer.It was quite a scene to see these rich boys bidding each other up.
 
Chris, come on home for a bit. Talk to Pequea planter up in Lancaster. They can tell you prices. I have a 7000 conservation,
and I think I paid about $3500 for it down on the shore, and it had just been rebuilt. The guys up at Pequea can trick it out....
