SW Ohio | We went from a ih1200 and 1560 drills to a 1790 splitter.
Yields are good with the 1790. Problem was, couldnt plant both csb at the same time. Getting stands, seed savings, singulation, autoshutoff and auto steer are awesome.
So I said screw it and bought a pair of 1560s, again. Hooked to 6030 ready to plant beans. It paid huge this year. The 1790 put the corn in and planted the higher priced seed, the 1560s planted the cheap seed.
I like drilled beans for weed control, like spraying them, harvesting. Cheap operating. Easy operating. Dislike the drop, depth control (variance of bean placement), the si belts are a dissapointment.
We replanted 130 acres of drilles soybeans with the 1790. We also have 100 acres of april drilled beans that would not have been planted.
I looked at kinze 16 splitters, 1255, another 1790 but the cost was triple the drills. To each his own. | |
