Compact Tractor guys - What do you use

Brad, not sure if you knew this or not but corn planters plant more than just corn. My beans were planted with a 6 row corn planter. When I get one ill be planting corn, beans and sunflowers with it. The rest ill plant with one of my broadcast spreaders.

 

Yeah, I mentioned that a couple of posts earlier.

 

Yup that's why I mentioned it!

 

I know Greg. But I guess what I'm saying is the only thing I may plant would be beans. And I can broadcast that. It would be nice for sure but not needed for me.

How do you spray round up on broadcast beans?

 

Good question. Lol. Drive over the top I guess. I've never done it.

That's what I did...then when they were bigger I sprayed from my atv with the wand. Actually worked.

 

I had 2.5 acres of standing beans this winter. Ive got all kinds of deer in them nightly. More than ive seen before. Had 8 does come out there Sat. night at 5:00 pm. Most does ive ever had before was 6. Beans are great.

 

Still have about 1/3 of them left. Hope they last until green up.

 

I agree Greg. But I don't think you NEED a planter to do them. It's not a cash crop just a food plot. Drive over them with Ru and have a cold beer.

Let me know how that works!

 

I sense some sarcasm.

Broadcasting works great for planting beans. We did two fields one year. 6 acres each, 12 total. So you lose a little bit when the the sprayer wheels drive over them, but the same thing happens when they're planted normally with 7.5" or 15" rows anyways.

 

I broadcast planted my beans, sprayed them early by driving over them...then when I sprayed again I drove through the and used the wand to reach out further. It worked. Not one deer complained lol
