No-Till Bean Drill
We are looking at purchasing a no-till soy bean drill. We now use a 15-foot Krause 5250, and we’re happy with it but need something bigger. Does anyone have experience with the John Deere 1690 or anything else that someone is really impressed with?

If you are going to use it just for beans, I would give the Case IH 5500 Soybean Special a good look. It has the Case IH Early Riser planter units on 15-inch spacings.

There are a lot of John Deere 750 no-till drills in our area, and I wouldn’t have traded our 5400 for one for any amount of money.
