Subject: planting in tire tracks



Central IA
Really looking at going to one tractor, and have a dealer that made what I feel is a good deal on a tractor with 600's on the back. If it was 520's it would be a done deal. I try and do my own pre, but coop does all post. Mostly notil, some limited fall tillage.

So question is, i don't think i can push that fat a tire on 60" center. May be driving over two rows. Barely. Tractor will weigh about 11,000lbs total. In good planting conditions, will that affect emergence, really yield is what matters. So will it affect yield? I realize wet planting conditions would be BAD, but almost all crop will be in cover crops and was thinking, it should be okay. Corn/bean rotation by the way. Do some hay as well.

What do you all think. TIA.
