Ready for Beans

I cover up every other feed on the drill to plant beans. I cut the side out of a quart oil bottle and duct taped it into place. Works for me. Chris

Dad planted corn once or twice with our Van Brunt drill, he just covered them up with duct tape, must have left every 5th one open for 35" rows.

Don't know how well it worked, as I wasn't in the picture yet. Must have worked well enough to get by for a year or 2, but he bought our 495A planter not much later.

Just curious to know why? I grew bean a few years and used all the tubes 7" I think. The beans were good.

Our 5100 IHC drill came from the factory with them.It had 10inch spacing,so you could plug a hole and plant 20 inch rows.

That is something I cannot understand why anybody would do something like that, if I want to use a grain drill then I want ALL 7" openers working and IF I want rows I want them wide enough to cultivate (30" - 40"), you cannot cultivate 14" rows and that wider space just means more weeds.

White mold is a disease often found in low wet ground when rows are very narrow. Wider spacing reduces the risk.
