How He Swithched To Narrow Rows

How He Swithched To Narrow Rows COMBINES Modifications 21-5-7 "Anyone who wants to switch to narrow rows without moving their tractor wheels in closer might want to look at the setup I'm using," says Robert Stonner, Camden, Mo. "I added an extra row unit to my 8-row Deere 7100 30-in. planter. I had to move the drive sprockets over so they're right behind the tractor wheel since I now have a row in the middle. "I straddle 3 rows and have 3 rows on each side. Rows are spaced 24 in. apart except where the tractor wheels run, which are 28 in. The tractor wheels remain at 76 in. center-to-center. "I rebuilt a Deere 843 cornhead to handle the new row spacing. I had to trim down the existing tin work and add one more row unit. It has two wider snouts to match the two wider rows. The conversion of the cornhead was really quite simple to do and works and looks great." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Robert Stonner, Rt. 1, Box 113A, Camden, Mo. 64017 (ph 816 776-2906).
