We Upgraded Our John Deere 7200 Planter To Grow 250bu Corn

Today we are going through all the updates and upgrades that will pay for themselves and save us money. Then we install everything on the planter. This is a very informational and instructional video.
Here are the companies mentioned in the video:

I added schaffert Mohawk closing wheels to mine and upgraded gauge wheels with bolt on wheels and bearings. 4 times the bearing in the new ones.

I have been replacing the gauge wheel bearings with bolt on bearings and new arms. Shoup has a replacement arm that used a 5/8 bolt to fasten gauge wheel to arm.

So how well did the upgrades work? Hit your yield target?

[@TheDIYFarmers]

We definitely had a yield increase but we didn't hit 250 I think 220 was our best yield that year. Our upgrades were definitely better than factory

Great video. What type of Precision meters did you install? Do you like how they worked? We are thinking of doing an meter upgrade on our 7200 this winter. Thanks for the awesome content, Keep it up

[@TheDIYFarmers]

The planter came with eset meters. They are usually around 99 percent singulation in corn and 90 in beans. We plan on going to vsets maybe next year since we already have gen 3 20.20
