I would not be scared to move the corn speed up a bit - to 5 or maybe 5-1/2 .

On the beans, if you are not worried about row unit bounce, 7 is OK.

On the seed cups and beans. Do some testing using one row with the covering wheels chained up and the planter set to plant close to the surface as possible. And on a hard packed driveway.

Adjust from there.

I think 'even' on a 7000 is 23,200 for 30" corn. About 24,850 for 28" rows.

Even is the same size sprocket on the front shaft as the back.
On my early 7000 it was 11 driving 11
