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.
