For what it's worth, I farm about 140 acres with my Dad, and we run a 1420 with a 4rn head, plant with 6. It all depends on the time you have. With my "real" work schedule, I usually end up with around 15 days off right around harvest, and with moving fields (15-25 acres here and there) several times, we can finish in 5 or 6 good weather days, changing over to beans from corn and all. Could finish quicker if we wanted. People think we're crazy shelling 4 with a 6 row planter, and it is a little tricky every now and then in corn, but if we ran 6 rows with a 1440 or 60, we'd be done so quick it would hardly feel like we had any crop. I enjoy harvest so much I think I'd stay with a four row up to around 250 acres or more as long as time didnt play a factor on me. Youre also only as fast as you can haul away remember. A 1440 or 60 with a four row is a great combo, have to run with the ladder up in corn to keep from knocking the left hand row over. You could always trade up to a 6rn head if you desired, you have plenty of machine. A 1440 is not gonna run an 8rn.. and also, 8 rn is going to require auger extension, harder to transport, and probably heavier lift cylinders on the feederhouse.
