The data tends to support the better ground does as well with 30's as more narrow spacing. Not true on less desirable soil which shows an advantage for narrow spacing. Even with good ground one needs to consider how quicker the rows canopy with narrower rows. Might be able to avoid a second spray. But 30's are sure easier to spray without running over the crop. I really like the White planter. Seriously considered getting some type of a split row unit, but decided I didn't like hauling unused weight around when planting corn which occures with many models. This isn't an issue with the machines that have half of the units fold behind and do the split planting. Also a consideration was the total cost. I could get a no-till drill and 30 inch planter for less than 2/3 the price of a splitter and have two machines share the planting wear. I went with the no-till drill and 30 inch planter with dry fertilizer. Might consider trailing a second 7000 behind yours to do the split planting. In the past this was quite common and you can purchase a unit with all the modifications done. A cyclo makes a great bean planter because spacing is not as critical as with corn and you can buy them cheap. Just takes time to marry a couple together to construct a splitter. Many have already done this and occasionally you can find them for sale.
