2 Row Planter

[Tractors4u]

I bought a couple of CaseIH planter heads from my farmer uncle last week and I spent half the night cutting and welding but got them finished. Man were these things cumbersome to stand up to get them bolted to the tool bar. I put some seed corn in the hoppers this morning and tried them out in the front yard and they actually worked. Unfortunately I will now be mowing some corn in my front yard. Picture attached.

I was wondering what your row spacing is.. seems like most small planter rows are always in line w/ the CUT'S tires.. I have this problem w/ my JD 2 row & TC35D.

My rows are set at 36". Why? That was just the way it worked out when I was putting it together with what steel I had on hand and the 3 pt hitch that I already had.

Nice job. Your JD should straddle a single row. BTW, just how much corn are you intending to plant? w jones

About 5-6 acres

I read in your other post that you might decide to start selling these. Any estimates on what you might charge?

If I can get more I may try to build some to sell. I would say for a 2 row similar to what you see in my pictures $600.

How are you going to harvest? Most corn heads on combines have 30 inch row spacing. I have access to some old JD row units that I was thinking of doing the same thing.
