You will be very happy with the job a 7000 planter does. There is plenty of aftermarket parts and lots of attachments to suit them for your crop and soil conditions. We have a 7200 4 row wide planter for corn and also a 7000 4 row narrow for soybeans. The 7000 was a standard frame wide row planter that we had cut down for 30 inch rows. Any good welding shop can do it as you cut off the axle brackets and move them in and cut the axle to shorten it on each side and you can also cut some off each end of the frame to make it smaller.The Amish shops in my area cut dozen or more every year.The decision to change to narrow rows depends on your acres and the condition of the rest of your equipment. I do less than 75 acres of corn and have a good corn picker,4 row combine head and good heads for the forage harvester. I also do not like narrow row corn because we need all out corn stalks for bedding and often bale it in the spring. A 4 row narrow would have me running the stalks down making them harder to get next spring. A 7000 from new has rubber closing wheels but there are different ones available. We run spike and cast wheels on ours. The best would be to look at what your neighbors use as different wheels are required in different soil types. Tom

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
