Are the 8 rows front mount also? 30" or wide 36 or 38"? They are 8 - 30" rows. They fold forward to transport just like the 12 row does. We moved the crazy wheels in one row so they transported easier ... the wheel was closer to the middle of the wing. Also, with the wheel in one row if the planter got a bit close on the guess row you were not running the wheel over the crop. Here are a couple photos of the 8 rows. We had 3 of them until Dad scrapped one out.Someone said something about a 16 row model 45? Never saw such a beast. I'm sure it cold be done, but a 12 row is a lot of weight on that crazy wheel. I think going to 16 would be too much for a single wheel. You would need to make a flex in the frame and a second carrier wheel. John Deere might have made a 16, I know they made a 12 because the neighbor that had this also had a Deere.
