Northernish MN
Had a 2011 6 row amity and in 2017 got an 8 row and it’s a lot nicer, can go just as fast as we did with our old 6 row maybe even faster, not sure what year but they must’ve changed something in the rear scrub and there’s a lot more slack the chain (it almost touches the ground) but we can lift 35+ ton beets at 3.5mph forsure maybe even a bit faster, like one of the others said above get a 30” boom extension and one thing to beware is the apron shafts can break, broke the bottom one once, highly recommend going with the 8row over 6
