Subject: RE: JD 7000 planter ?


As far as I have noticed the Kinze brush units were out years before JD brush units which I think came with the 7200. They do singulate soy beans well. There might be a plate that works with oblong beans.

I planted 25 sacks of soy beans expecting 10,000 beans to be left over. Actually I had 40,000 seeds leff over, about half a sack. Still that's pretty good counting.

JD bean cups aren't as precise as a vintage JD drill. In an old drill you set the length of the flutes of the cup, in the JD 7000 cups you only get to vary the speed of the cups.

I suspect a Cylco planter would count your beans well. Mine always counted good but it was rotten at spacing which may have been made worse by slop in the drum drive system and roughness worn into the plastic pipes.
