Dad and I have been contemplating planting one field to beans this year. It's a field we've rented for a couple years now and corn was a major flop last year due to weather, lack of proper tillage because of it, and just generally poor soil. We covered it in manure last fall and plowed it under, most of it had snow when we did it.
First time it's seen a moldboard in many many years(don't think it's ever been chiseled, owners only ever used a disc that I saw), but in our area moldboard plows still have a place. We've never done beans before but I'm not convinced it's worth trying corn again. We do have some bean
plates for our 495A (32" rows) that we've used for seeds like pop corn and I was gonna modify them fit other use that never came around.
We also have a 20x7" Van Brunt B drill. Which one would you guys use? I'm leaning towards the 495. They both cover about the same width and we drive about the same speed with either one. The corn planter would give us the option to spray and cultivate if needed though. We could
spray the beans if planted with the drill, but we'd run down a whole lot more in the process. I know it's been talked about some with another guy and a 494, read some of it before I lost track of it.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
