well I would go with a deere 7000 or 7200 8r then made out of the 12r. or make a 1760 front fold out of a 12r deere.

well a scratch build 8 row planter is basically the same for all types main differences are lift assembly, units, and markers. Easiest one to make would be a 1700 3-pt planter as the lift wheel assembly is pretty basic. www.deere.com/servlet/ProdCatProduct?tM=FR&pNbr=1700RH |

If your going to have 1200 acres you should have a 16 row to run with an 8 row harvester. Our 8 row barely gets our crop in and we almost always have to have another farmer help out. Its best to have double your harvesting capacity in planting.

on a given year:
550 corn
350 beans
300 wheat

8 row will work,if you have wet springs a 12 row would be better. Guess rows dont really matter anymore with how accurate planting is and GPS.

Ok how long is your "planting period"? here we have 2 months to plant corn and beans. we can get by with 1500 acres and a 8r

I row would work. We used to run 8 rows. You can plant 100 acres a day easy with an 8 row. I plant 200-210 a day with my 12 row.

i would go with a 12/23 kinze planter due to the fact that it can plant corn or beans, at our farm we run an 8r deere but i would still go with the kinze
