We have a case ih 1200 planter. We use a gerringhoff rotodisk corn head. Are there any row cleaners that would work well for us? We'd like to go continuous no-till corn and beans alternating every year. Please help me with any info you may have. Thanks!

I have the same planter with yetters on the corn rows. They work great. We took off the coulters and run just the row cleaner. when we plant beans into corn we lift the cleaners. It is important to wait until the fodder is on the dry side and/or the ground temps are warm to plant beans. If you plant the beans early you run the risk of significant slug damage. Yetter does have row cleaner avaiable for the split rows but I don't think it is necessary. Here in South East PA we don't lose bean yeild until the 15 of May.

We have run yetter on Case IH 1200 series, had used thier sharks tooth but went back to spike ooth and went from rigid mount to floating bracket and for 2010 we added depth bands so we could let them float. have not looked at stands as of yet but the only conditions we found so far that they jumped a little to much were worked wheat stubble, We also use gerrinhoff roto disc and have done some soybean planting into standing cornstalks, disced cornstalks and into conservation tiled ground they seem to have handled all these situations, also tryed into unworked soybean stubble seemed to work.
