Finger pickup for corn. (Very rare plate model up here, you don't want.)

Seed meters for beans are better they are sorta a finger pickup for beans; the original bean cups spill out an amount of beans which is ok on 50 acres not as accurate.

I like granular fertilizer, cheaper, easy enough to shovel 100 acres worth or auger into the planter. Liquid can be applied a lot of gallons 2 inches beside the row; or even mor expensive low salt liquid can be spoon fed into the row as a light pop up fertilizer. Do you like to broadcast fertilizer or manure, or do you want to apply a lot,of,p and k with the planter, or,just apply,a little in the row? Me, I like pitting 100-120 lbs 2x2 beside the row of granular.

You don't need row cleaners in conventional till, tho,if it has them you likely will get a tad of use out of them, and more so if you don't work the ground real hard or leave a lot of bean stubble on the top, etc. you don't want a single coulter out front as a row opener, turns out that was a bad idea for around here....

Double disk openers for the row are the real deal, for fertilizer they are more common, tho single disk fert coulter works for liquid feet.

Here in Minnesota always seems an international 4-800 makes a good notill bean drill, not much of a corn planter.

JD 7000 took over the landscape.

These days you are competing with Ukraine and Mexico, jockeys are buying and shipping them to those emerging ag countries by the container load.

Shoup has all the parts you need to rebuild them, and cheaper and faster than the mega dealers of today can get you anything.
