I plant my beans with a Deere 8300 drill with double disk openers on 6 inch rows with drag chains. The main drawback is the rows in the tractor tire tracks. They are just barely covered and you need rain to get them started. Also I have fluted feed metering rolls so getting the population you want takes some expermenting. I would not pack the soil over beans. If you get a hard rain and a crust they can have a hard time emerging without the extra compaction from a packer. Also I would not drag after planting as some seeds will get covered way to deep. I always get a good stand but I am on the lookout for a good bean planter at a reasonable price. dboll, two seeds per inch on 6 inch rows? That must be 4 to 5 hundred thousand population? I plant 180000 and my seeds are spaced 1 to 6 inches. Another graindrill drawback, poor seed spacing.
