I think it maybe 20" rows those divider points look kinda big for 15" and the head itself looks kinda big a lot more than 20' a 16R20 would be 26.6 feet that is kinda what I think it probally is. Dennis SEND

Everything Stine plants is on 22 inch rows.
The reason for the field max system is to eliminate excess handling thus giving better cold germs. The corn is elevated into dryer boxes out in the field. The dryer boxes are then put on dryers that slowly dry the corn at lower heat levels and then taken to the sheller. www.stineseed.com

Are you sure it is 22's? I am pretty sure it is 20's, you were probably telling someone how you use Vistive oil in your race car because it makes the car live longer, instead of paying attention to the actual facts that Stine was giving you. Typical DSM.

I believe that it is on 20" spacings, they have 3 - 32 row planters. When the machine is running, I think there are about 12 people riding on the machine, sorting and throwing unhusked ears back through the husker. Sounds like they built another one this year on a 9600 chassis, but offset the cab and moved the motor up front like a 8820. Many thousands of dollars in engineering in that machine.
