Subject: Re: planting soybeans with 7000 planter



There is an echo in here. You can plant beans with the cups, but it you don't have them they aren't worth buying. You will spill ample beans and get a stand varying in density. But in the process you will probably plant 15 or 20% extra of those $60 a sack seed beans that you wouldn't plant with the Kinze or Deere brush meters that actually COUNT the seed.

The bottom of the planter will do well with either way of measuring seed, last couple times I planted beans, I did it notill with a flat coulter up front to cut the corn stover and Dawn trash whippers to spread them apart using my JD 7000 planter. Worked fine and put down the planned count of beans.
