    It may not work well depending on your drill width and/or if you overlap at all.
    Yep that would work. Maybe its 30’...... it was only an example.

      In most cases, the double seed/fertilizer areas might surprise you with $ per acre return as those areas are often in low lying high productive soil zones

          You know your own operation best.
          New or 8 yrs from new? LoL
          Means a difference in features and how well they worked.
          Which manufacturer?
          If trading someday, an oddball may hurt. Remember, biggest today, most wanted tomorrow.
          I have had 2 drills now with sect control on the liquid fert but not air cart. Remember, 8-9 ft sections.
          47' and a 60'.
          Depending on drill, field, and year.
          4% to a Max extreme 20% acre difference between the two monitors on acres.
          Depending on accuracy of drill monitor perhaps or size of drill. This year, mega water but newer tech drill in 60', 4-5% spread.
          Independent openers increase that I'm sure.
          Fill times or acres per fill???
          Which more important.
          Manpower???? Distance?

          Just my situation only. But I paid $95k for an 8 year old pristine drill and largest cart at time. 580.
          Deluxe auger never used.
