This probably seems like a silly question, but I'm curious if it is possible to harvest 30" rows with a wide-row (36" or 38") corn head. I'm referring to a 2-row head, used on a small combine like a JD 3300, Gleaner K, etc.
There seem to be a fair number of small machines still around with 2-row heads, so was curious if it's possible to harvest corn without excessive loss on a 30" row setting. Obviously you would have to go around and around the field, or you would run corn down, I imagine.
Just considering this as I will only have about 40 acres of corn this year, and could maybe do it myself if I could find an older combine in good condition.
