Northeast Nebraska | I disagree.
If you are a corn/bean rotation, I highly reccomend running them in your bean stubble. You don't have to sink them in all the way, maybe an inch. The wear it saves on your tru-vees will be tremendous. We just bought a planter with 1200 acres on it, but through all of our searching for the right planter we learned alot of things. The planter we traded was a 12 row with 6500 acres, it had 13 bubble coulters. The linkage arms were as tight as the day we bought the planter. The tru-vees we're only worn 3/4 of an inch.
Almost all of the planters we looked at with 1/4 the acres per row without coulters needed to have the tru-vees replaced.
Going into corn stalks or conventional tilled soils they wont do you much good, I do agree on that.
In bean stubble there isnt much residue to move, the coulters will perform better than a trash whipper anyday. I'd suggest taking a few hours and switching them when to switch from corn to beans. | |
