OK you are where I was 10 years ago.
YES no-till is the way to go. Now size, John Deere and a few others make a 10 foot no-till drill that 80 horse will pull. And yes renting the drill is practical--you can rent a long time for the price of a new drill.

Yes you can no-till corn behind beans. However you will need a different planter, as in a corn planter. They are not too expensive, I suggest getting a John Deere 7000 conservation 4 row planter. They aren't real expensive and four rows keep the time down. You can plant 30 acres in a day easy and have time left over. It'll take more time to harvest.
