If your neighborhood grows soybeans with OK results I don't see any reason not to try. I no-tilled beans into really heavy sod one time but I did it after a good dose of roundup was applied. Make sure your seed is RR because you'll have to apply roundup again (I got away with only one more application). I used a Great Plains no-till drill so I don't know what your planter will do but if it can get the seed in 1 1/2" or so and provide good seed to soil contact it should do OK. You might want to do a test run somewhere before planting time. I did 15" rows and that worked great. You could do that with a 30' planter by double planting. You'll find many opinions on that here but I would not consider 30' rows for a lot of reasons.
