Gonna retire one these days. Looking forward to farming again. About 40-60 acres. Was thinking about getting a decent used two row tractor or buying a new one. About decided to use the 2 140's I have and keep the money in my pocket. Both tractors in good shape and have most equipment for them. Would be mostly beans. But since corn has risen thinking about using as a rotation. Have an Int 10 grain drill. And two 184 Int 184 1 row planters. Also have a 2 row 309 with a 1 point hitch. Just not enthused about planting 10-20 acres corn one row at time with 45 inch rows. 309 is set on 45' inch. Do not want to plant right behind tire with 45' row which is what tractor set too. Can move planter in to 37' and half which would make this better. Or could set up toolbar maybe plant 3 or 4 rows with tractor but had rather use the 309 planter already have. Interested in ideas of how to plant more rows without planting behind the tire. Has anyone set up a one row tractor and done this before? Appreciate thoughts. Thanks. Figure could handle my 40 acres ok with tractor and still not be too busy that could'nt fish when want too.....

I am surprised at a 45 inch row. I had a 309 and I had it set at 36 in.

One Row: I have a 2 row 30" John Deere 247 planter I use behind my 140 with wheel set 60" tread. I probably have the only one point fast hitch Deere planter in the land. I removed the 3 point from planter and fabricated a one point. It plants more uniform depth than it did with 3 point tractor.

I have a set of 4 row 30" tool bar type cultivators for my 140, both center and rear tool bars. On the farm I used it to cultivate behind my 4 x 30" planter as my larger tractors were always busy with haylage during corn cultivation.

If I were building another corn planter for my tractor, I'd go 3 x 30" rows, with a trailer tank for liquid fertilizer. With the offset tractor, I think I could be accurate enough, so a 6 x 30" combine could harvest.

It is simple. you adjust your wheels on the tractor. The wheels on a 140 can be widened enough to stradle two 40 inch rows. You will have to turn your wheels around to do this. If you have a owners manual this should be covered.
