Combines planter vs corn head

[Illinois_Gleaner]

I ran a 8 row head when we had a 6 row planter.Then I ran a 8 row head when we had a 12 row planter. I now run a 12 head and 12 row planter.The last is the best but ,all the other combinations worked for me.At least with yours you will only be on a odd middle half the time. Just wandering why did you go to a 16 if you had a 24IJ IG

I am not sure.I believe he told me that the 24row was less productive the what the 16 row would be. See,we also had a 12_24 split row knize bean planter.He traded both of the old planters in on this new 16row planter.He says that all of his data shows that the 12_24 row planter is more productive then the 24row.So for this reason he believes that the 16row will be more productive then the 24 row.

I think it was the Sunnybrook rotor if I remember right.Do you work there or are you the ownerIJ You dont know of anyone looking for a good Agco Star do you IJ Illinios Gleaner

i work here, my family owns 1200 acres in east central indiana and i grew up around gleaners. as far as your agco star i do not think i can help you, not to much agco-star stuff around us but i will keep you in mind. Why are you selling your 72IJ

 

[Illinois_Gleaner]

I have 2 R72's,98 and 99. My dad retired,this last year. I don't think I need 2 R72's for 1700 acres. I bought the 99 R72 after I looked at that 62 up north. I just feel that one R72 with 30ft bean head and 12 row corn head will handle it just fine.I will just keep an auger wagon beside the one combine,besides Dad isnt there everyday now that he is retired,so we are a man short.
