New to me this year is a 12 row 7200 finger pickup planter. The PO ran it with a deere and mentioned setting the return hydraulics for lowering planter to case drain, his tractor wasnt setup up that way but mentioned it would be faster to lower and go. Any experience with this?

Thanks cory

A finger pickup planter only requires hydraulics for up/down and the markers. Plug both hoses (or 4 hoses) into your tractor like usual. Make sure your hyd levers and cable linkage parts are all allowing full stroke on the spools. Might adjust flow rate speed under the seat. DON'T use any in-between adapters from a Deere Hyd hose end to fit an A-C tractor. Change the tips on the ends of the hoses to mate directly with A-C couplers.

X2 with DrAllis comments. The mechanical 7200 should be a good planter combo with most ANY tractor.
If PO has not had finger pickup meters professionally tested at Precision Planting, get them boxed up & shipped to Tremont IL (if they still do them?) or deliver them to your local Precision rep for testing, rebuilding, & calibration.
Try to mix a talc/graphite lubricant powder mixed into seed. It doesn’t take a lot(1-2oz per hopper). Fingers, springs, ash-trays etc will thank you for lubricant. Singulation belts get brittle with age, so change them every testing. Too much talc/graphite & the seed tube monitors may get overly dusted & then prompt no seed. Buy a seed tube brush for occasional tube cleaning. Brush can usually be stored away inside one of the insecticide boxes.
