Yes, the one I had(a 78) had been used with an 8-30 near Watseka, Il. and came with a 21 or 21.5 foot 320? flex head. It handled that bean head great! I was in wide rows(36) and only used a 4 row corn head.

I think you need 3 inch diameter cylinders on the feederhouse to lift an 8-row CH. If it has 2 1/2 inch cylinders, I don't think it will pick it up.

We ran a 8-30 on a 76 L back in the 80's
