Subject: RE: Best Twin Row Planter



waaaay east central Colorado
I've ran a Monosem for 7-8 (?) years now and really like them. I started with a 12 row twin 30" stacker and now have a 24 row twin 30". The Monosem units are the best units out there. The company has always been really good to work with in the past, but I'm curious to see how ma Deere handles things. We don't have ours configured to do row clutches, but we have a five motor hydraulic drive that we section control with. The section control works fine, but I'd like to have row by row control. I really like the early canopy that twins give, but you've got to be able to handle a population that CAN canopy. We did a limited water circle at 24k once, and I didn't like the twins in that so much, still a lot of light hitting the ground. In my mind, if your fields can't hold 30k + population with a 30" row, I can't see there being any benefit to twins in corn.
