About the John Deere 7000 Planter

The John Deere 7000 was one of the most significant row crop planters of the late 20th century, introduced in 1971 and produced in various configurations through the 1980s. It was the planter that brought John Deere's finger-pickup seed metering technology to wide-scale adoption — a departure from the cell-type seed disc systems used on earlier planters. The finger pickup mechanism used rubber fingers that picked up individual seeds regardless of shape or size variation, eliminating the need to precisely match seed plates to seed lots and dramatically reducing skips and doubles compared to cell-type systems. The 7000 was also among the first planters to be widely offered in large folding configurations — the 12-row wide, 16-row, and 18-row fold-up frames covered in this manual — which allowed operators to plant wider swaths per pass while still meeting highway transport width restrictions. The folding frame, hydraulic markers, and control console made the 7000 a genuinely high-productivity machine for its era. The 7000 supported an extensive attachment lineup including liquid and dry fertilizer, insecticide, herbicide, and row-cleaner systems. Many 7000s remain in active service on smaller operations today, and the 250-page depth of this manual reflects the genuine complexity of setting up and maintaining a large folding planter correctly.

What This Manual Covers

This 250-page manual covers all three folding configurations across every operational and service aspect of the 7000 planter, with separate documentation where procedures differ by row count or frame type. Key sections include:

  • Safety — John Deere's original safety requirements for large folding planter operation, transport, and field use
  • Preparing for Use — pre-season setup, inspection, and preparation procedures
  • Attaching to Tractor — hitch setup, hydraulic connections, and PTO/marker line connections
  • Control Console — full documentation of the 7000's control console operation, monitor functions, and settings
  • Folding & Unfolding the Planter — step-by-step hydraulic folding and unfolding procedures for safe operation
  • Transporting — transport configuration, road safety, and width compliance procedures
  • Operating the Planter — field operation, row unit setup, depth adjustment, downforce settings, and marker operation
  • Planting Rates — seed population charts and rate adjustment procedures for corn and other row crops
  • Troubleshooting — systematic diagnosis of planting problems, monitor errors, and hydraulic issues
  • Detaching from Tractor — correct disconnection and parking procedures
  • Lubrication — lubrication points and service intervals for a large multi-section folding frame
  • Service — row unit service, finger pickup mechanism service, drive chain and sprocket maintenance
  • Attachments & Attachment Assembly — full documentation of fertilizer, insecticide, herbicide, and other attachment systems
  • Specifications — factory-specification settings, capacities, and dimensions
  • Index — full manual index for rapid field reference

Why This Manual Matters

  • Folding frame operation and safety: Correctly folding and unfolding a 12-row or wider planter requires following the factory sequence precisely — skipping steps or operating the hydraulics in the wrong order can damage the fold joints or create a transport width violation; the step-by-step procedures here are the authoritative reference
  • Finger pickup mechanism service: The 7000's finger pickup metering system requires periodic rubber finger inspection and replacement — the service section documents wear indicators, replacement procedure, and the timing relationship between pickup fingers and seed tube positioning that determines spacing accuracy
  • Control console documentation: The 7000's monitor and control console had more functions than most operators used to from older planters, and the full console documentation is necessary for understanding alarms, population monitoring, and hydraulic marker controls
  • Drive chain and sprocket setup: Population rate changes on the 7000 require drive sprocket changes and chain re-routing — the manual documents the sprocket combinations needed for each target population, which is the information operators lose first when a planter changes hands
  • 250 pages of coverage for a complex machine: A folding 16- or 18-row planter is genuinely complex equipment, and the 250-page depth of this manual reflects that — covering the full machine rather than summarizing it
  • Original factory content: This is the manual John Deere issued to 7000 folding planter owners, carrying manual code OM-A41143

Manual Code: OM-A41143

Do not buy these
Color: Nude, Size: Women 9-13
These are terrible. They are designed to walk in. The first day I tried them on I walked about 20 steps and they basically ripped right off my feet. I didn’t think much of it and just thought ok I won’t walk in them I’ll just wear them to bed. The second pair that came with the order I wore to bed that night and woke up with holes tore in them. Terrible product

These are form-fitting and durable. Wearing these keeps the skin moisturizer in place so it can be effective.

Great Results
Color: White, Size: Women 9-13, Color: White, Size: Women 9-13
The Jfrhuds Moisturizing Silicone Socks work very well. I ordered the white 2-pack in the large size 9-13, and each came packaged in an individual zipper bag.  I wear a women's size 9-9.5, and they fit me perfectly.  I can see how they have enough stretch to fit larger sizes easily and comfortably. These socks are a lot thicker and heavier than I expected.  They are rubbery with non-slip treads on the bottom.  As soon as I put them on my feet, they actually felt very moisturizing and almost wet, even though I had not put moisturizer on my feet first.  Plus my feet felt cold at first. It was different than I expected, I had never worn this type of sock before, and it was an interesting sensation. They work great, and I am sold on the benefits of these socks.  I wear them to sleep at night and dodn't walk very far in them.  They seem pretty sturdy, but I don't want to push it and will just use them for their intended purpose.  My feet weren't super dry or cracked, but the socks really helped revive them and make them super soft again.  I love them; they are great for self-care and would also make a wonderful gift.

Not durable

Only used two of them so far. One sock lasted nearly 3 wears. The other broke before I could finish wearing it the second time. Basically useless junk.
