Small planters

[arm]

Does anyone have experience with a two-row planter? If so what is your acre cut off? If you're doing say 5 acres or less do you feel it's worth while or taking forever?

Had a two row before my current 4 row. If only planting 5 acres in a year, no worries at all. Probably only take you a few hours.

Yep. Just more time. Which- for 5 acres. Who cares if it takes u half a day to do it. I wouldn’t be afraid of a good 2 row at all unless I had like 15+ acres or something.

My buddy that we help each other with DC's has a 2 row, between the two of us and another guy he's planted 12-14 acres with it this year.

Yes, he has no til coulters on it. He still works the ground more often than not, though.

Good subject. I'm looking at 2 rows now.

You can find two row JD 7000 or 7100 all over the place. Good units.

How big that field nwgh? Great vid. Looks like a heck of a lot of food!!!

I like no til corn if I’m running it into previous cropped stuff. I avoid tillage as much as possible but I also have some hilly stuff that I don’t wanna tear up. On corn: if starting a crop from scratch- u gotta work ground up. But- going into bean stubble or old brassicas for example: no till works fantastic on corn. Beans are a little easier on no till. Sod is always going to be anyone’s worst scenario. After that it’s a lot easier. Row cleaners are also one thing a guy could look at adding that really do make some nice advancements for no till & helping plants get through trash that otherwise might thin the stand out.

2 Acres of corn
3 acres of beans
8 acres of RWWP Bedding in a Bag WSG mix.
I think I will end up being a killer layout to fit this farm. Keeping my fingers crossed.
I hope to get my electric fencer up on the 5 acres of food plot before the end of the weekend.
