So we are planting dry soup beans next year and we are planting on 15 inch rows. Is there any specific cultivator or tractor you guys would recommend that would work best for that?

We plant edibles on 20" rows it would be pretty hard to get a 14.9 tire down a 15" row. A G,B,C /CA have narrow enough tires. You would need a rare bar cultivator the mounted ones are set up for 30-36" rows. I wouldn't want to be doing any kind of average with a tractor that small. 12 row at 20" takes me better than half a day to cultivate one field.

We have 2 G's that we are thinking of making cultivators for. We will probably not do any more than 5 acres.
