I wouldn't mess around with a 1440 or 1640 unless low hours and "cherry" Many more 60's and 80's series to choose from. Eight row head is pretty big to transport on the road, but many do around here because traffic is generally reasonable. Six row is a lot nicer, but I have ran down the road with a 20 ft bean head. A few go with a 25 ft on the road and a vey few will try a 30 ft between close fields. I use a 1480 on 50 acres, which could be used on 800 acres but it is nice to have oversized equipment and let someone else contend with the remainder. Sure was a good choice last year. With the elevator open 2-3 hours/day because of drying capacity, it still took way too long only doing 50 acres. If you already have the 8 row, I would run it for a few years with a six row head and eventually upgrade to matching 12 row planter.
