I went from 30ft-40ft-both box planters. At same time went to electric drive and better row clutches, etc. I have only had 1 day where we got 250 acres-that was on my 2 best fields-which are 2 miles apart-and had the wife running beans for me. (We did it with a 2 box tender) But I think that was more like a 17 or 18 hour day.
I have less acres than you-but I figure if I can plant all my beans in 4-5 days as much as I would like a bulk fill planter I can't justify it yet.
Acres per hour or day increase - 30’ box planter vs 30’ bulk vs 40’ bulk
