12 Row JD 1760 Conservation Planter

[Mt.P.Farmer]

Hi Guys,

What can you tell me about planter.  I'm looking at purchasing a used one with a 250 monitor.  This is a 98 model that is MacEmerge Plus vacumeter planter.  What is your experience with this planter?  How would you rate this this planter?  What areas of concern do they have?

Thanks,

Mt. P Farmer

just traded one of these for the new version. concerns are the common ones, openers, scrapers, it was not uncommon for me to have to replace 1-2 seed sensors /year. Not sure why. the bottoms of the seed tubes can get worn. As far as rating the planter I liked how the bar folds, the markers , and that I could put my starter tanks on the bar/planter. We had cih planters before(800, 900,955) and thought their row units were supperior to the jd, but the jd spacing is better. that's my .02. good luck

Have row cleaners & fert tanks mounted on mine. Really like the planter, bought it used. I think mine is a 98 model as well.

We go through it every winter, only thing is I want to go to 16 row!

Take care of it and it will last a very long time
