Well i "officially" bought my new planter today, drove out to Madison, SD and signed the paperwork. After looking at a bunch of 7000's and coming to the conclusion that i should just spend some money and get something a little newer, i found this 7200, and i got one hell of a deal on it besides. This one is a 94' and so it has the later model 7200 updates on it. I got 32 new disk openers thrown in for free, i just have to put them on. I'll get some more pic's of it when they bright it out.........can't wait for spring now to try it out!  |

We only buy machinery that we can pay for in cash. With markets as crazy as they are, and with the price of land it is, we don't want to have any loans out for machinery. |

We have all JD, but have no where near 4000 acres. He seems really nice. He wasn't there today tho, he had the paperwork ready to go and another guy helped me with it. He was the main one my dad and i dealt with tho. |

My local dealer got bought out by Schuneman Inc. a month or so ago, so i'm hoping that my local JD lot doesn't go from having a good supply of used stuff, to only mostly new. |
