I haven't ever done any, only what I hear: 24 inch should work on spacing, will be tight & hard to fill the hoppers. My understanding is that 20 inch doesn't work well as the hoppers bang into each other. 24 inch means you are all alone tho? 15, 20, 22, and 30 are the common row spacings, 22 is very common in beet growing areas, 15 requires special corn heads, while some heads can be narrowed to 20 inch. I'd consider going with a more common spacing than 24 myself. Straddle 3 rows, widen the wheel spacing.... For the wrk involved, might want to look at a different planter, some are a lot eisier to modify. Other options, a friend ran one with the skip rows at 30 inch, and the rest of the rows shrunk to 24 inch or so. A bean planter tho, not for corn. :) You can bolt on single planter units with a little work to make your 4 row a 7 row. Takes some McGyvering, pusher or trailing behind the wheels. I bought a 15 row 3pt bean bar, with 15 IHC 295 meter units on it & 2 skip rows for $250 a couple years ago. Also bought the 15 row matching cultivator for $50. Might pay to look around. Moving parts around on the planter & cultivator that has been set the way it is for decades isn't always as easy at it looks. Things kinda get set in their ways. :) --->Paul
