Deere 7000 Rebuild Kits
![]() |
“Our greased pivot point will be the last rebuild you’ll need,” says Omar Stoltzfus, Pequea Planter. “We worked on it for a while and finally brought it out this past fall. It’s not compatible with planters with a driveshaft thru-wheel frame, but it does work with electric and hydraulic drives.”
Stoltzfus notes that the wheel frame kit ($155) is also compatible with the Pequea Planter contact drive wheel kit ($470). The easy-to-install kit replaces the OEM chain drive on the drive wheel, which means chains aren’t run off by cornstalks.
“It also eliminates the release of seed and inputs when the drive wheel is raised but still encounters residue from the previous crop,” says Stoltzfus.
Pequea recently introduced a rebuild kit for front seed tubes where the guard tab has broken off. Designed for Deere XP and ME5 row units, the kit ($28) offers a quick in-field repair.
Pequea offers a wide range of parts and attachments for Deere 7000 series planters from its own manufacturing and respected after-market suppliers. In 2013, Pequea introduced its Plant Master four-row ($23,830) and six-row ($49,950) planters. The all-new planters use their frames with Shoup Manufacturing row units similar to Deere MaxEmerge Plus row units. Pequea also offers 3-pt. and pull-type two-row planters, as well as used and refurbished Deere 7000 planters and parts.
The Stoltzfus family built their first planter for themselves, a horse-drawn two-row with Deere 1240 row units. In 1979, they sold nine planters with a mix of Deere row units, including MaxEmerge 7000 row units. Today, they sell up to 150 planters per year. They also custom-build planters for special needs with row spacings of 15, 20, 24 and 28 in., splitter planters for beans, folding planters and more.
