John Deere 7100 Planter Owners Manual

You are logged in as a guest. ( ) John Deere 7100 planter question:: - Message format Posted 5/2/2013 10:57 (#3075586) Subject: John Deere 7100 planter question Middle Tennessee I am a small time farmer that just purchased a 7100 no till planter and had a couple of questions.

The planter did not come with an owners manual and it does not have a serial number due to it being cut down from a larger planter. I am trying to figure out the transmission setting. I have read several post and gotten copies of seeding charts from the JD dealer but my transmission does not match up with what I have aquired. I am planting sunflowers using a 16 cell plates.

Chart calls for 7 and 13 sprockets or 22 and 22. Planters does not have the smaller ones on it and the 22 and 22 did not space the seeds correctly. Is it true I can multiple the smaller sprockets by 2 and uses the larger ones accordingly?

7 to 14 and the 13 to a 26. Has anyone planted chufa with a 7100 plate type planter?

What plate did you use? Also at what ground speed can a person plant? I was running at 4.5 mph and it seemed to do fairly well but did not know if it creates skips or not. Thanks for the help.

7-14, 13-26 is correct,4.5-5 mph should work well,the book settings are just a guideline and you'll have to exp. A bit to narrow it down to what you want for a final pop.

Count the seed and multiply by 1000 and that is your population.

Later planters used 40 chain with the normally spaced teeth. The sprocket diameters are the same, just the later ones have twice the teeth of the early ones. So if you have the table for the older sprockets you use the sprockets with twice the teeth.

You do need the operator's manual to make good use of the planter. A parts catalog is handy too. Deere can supply or you can find on epay. I have an operator manual for an 8 or 12 row folding 7100 and a parts book for a rigid 7100. I see both have information on plate type meters, I haven't used or seen a plate type so I can't help with those details.

I'd sell these manuals. I sse the prices on epay have gone skyward since I last shopped for planter manuals. Jump to forum:.
