We run a JD1790 16/32 (30"/15") planter. For beans it is much faster and easier loading than the 16/31 kinze it replaced. Put in two pro boxes and plant 80 acres then repeat. We plant alot of production seed corn and they are really pushing all of us to go back to single boxes so the planters spread the weight out over all the rows better. Going to a JD1770 24 row box planter for corn next year.
