I currently pull a Black Machine 12/13 with a 85 hp FWA tractor. It plants 12 rows of 30 inch corn and 13 rows of 15 inch beans while carrying 300 gallons of liquid starter fertilizer.

I plant the corn with the strip-till method where the planter is running in worked strips and I can run 6.5 MPH but hold it to 5 for accuracy reasons.

I plant beans no-till and wish I could run 6.5 but it pulls too hard in the unworked ground.

I think the 720 will do it but there will be times when you want more tractor, just like I do.

Oh, you may want to check the hydraulic requirements to see if you are going to have to wait a long time for the planter to raise before turning.
