Not sure if you will receive this or not, but wanted you to know that 25" rows work ;)
We plant all of our corn and soybeans on 25" rows. We built our corn heads, corn and bean planters.
We use to farm 25 years ago on 38" rows. Dad hated the narrow stance of 30" rows. With tires at 76" centers for 38" rows, we went to 25" rows (centers at 75").
First we built a 3pt 7300 JD planter. Just add a row unit, make a 9 row 25" (20' planter). Ran 2 of these.
Built our corn heads. Tin 8 row 30" heads. Torch down the center of the snouts, narrow them, weld them back up. Then add a new unit. 9 Row 25".
Let me know if you are still interested.
I'm sure we are the only ones in the country on 25" rows. LOL
