I agree with MN Dean; A 15 or even a 20 footer will not keep it full enough for a good sample.I have a 20 foot 8000 flex and it is not enough in beans. It is ok in real good wheat (80+bu). Also run a 12 row 20in. corn head. It is about right in 140-160 bu corn. I would like to go wider on the flex but it matches the planter now. If 15 feet is the max on your hills I would look for a late 42 ,52 ; or a 55 if you can find one. Also stay with a 800 or better flex and a hugger corn head. Also a 52 will drive alot more like the f's or l-m's due to it's size. Just my thoughts. Brooks
