Yeah. I’d gotten the impression that these IHs did better no tilling without any additional mods, accessories. And I found a good deal. I suspect a well used bone stock 7000 would probably do close to just as good. Don’t they have the double offset openers like the IH? With the little searching I did, the old 7000s were double what I found this IH for.

7000 doesn’t have offset openers like case. We always ran a worn disc on one side that gave it a leading edge to help it cut through residue and to keep from hair pinning straw. Martin row cleaners on the front of the unit help a lot sweeping debris out of the way for the openers.

the 7100’s and 7300’s I’m familiar with don’t have offset disc openers. I have a Kinze 3100 and the units are basically Deere with the double disc and fat tire closing wheels vs the Deere “std” pinch v-wheel setup or whatever you call it.
