I'm twin row on beans so I have 22 on one side and 8 on the other, still 30 inch centers. I love it. A little longer to canopy, but we are still getting good canopy and weed control (may not have the pressure of some?) and still on 30 inch centers so we don't have to fight corn rows, just plant between them. Have the ability to run a sprayer in the rows as many times as we want without any issues also- late F&I app doesn't run over anything. Cut back populations from 160k to 140k to 130k, still no yield drops.

Edit to add: can find a twin row great plains planter for a good deal at the right time, have less than 20k in my 30 footer, a few updates and improvements and we are rocking and rolling....
