I had (have, still) a 15 inch bean planter, really liked it but it is old plate units. My 6 row 30 inch planter is much more accurate. I've been using the 30 inch planter the last few years.
My yields have really been going up, due to tiling, better fertility program, and the last 2 years good August weather for beans.
In an ideal world I think 15 inch rows are really good for my location. But - the 30 inch has worked well, very well, and saved some bean seed cost with better population control.
I'd like to go back to 15 inch, but the 30 has really done well.
For a while all the craze was drilled beans around here. Hardly anyone is any more. They never looked good from the road, must not have done well in the combine hopper either.

JD and most other manufacturers sell a special sprocket to plant at half rate or there a bouts, if you wish to double back with a wider row planter.

While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
