Are you rotating back and forth between corn and beans? Or, are you just handling the beans? If you are just farming the beans, I'd stay with that 60 and go with a 6-row, 18-24" narrow arrangement. You've already got the best tractor ever built for narrow row beans. Why do you think you have to split the hydraulics from side to side on your cultivator? Tie 'em together and lift the whole shootin' match at once. If, on the other hand, you are rotating back to corn, I'd go with a 6-row 30" setup and a rear-mount cultivator to use along with your rotary hoe. That way, all equipment stays the same for both crops. This would mean buying a three point hitch, but I'd still stay with that 60 John Deere for the 30 acres. The key to running that canopy race on beans is to use an incorporated pre-emergant. This will stop everything from growing except your beans for 30 days. Gives you a nice, managable head start against the weeds. Allan
