Subject: Row Cleaners and Yield Difference?


So question regarding row cleaners. Last year we upgraded Kinze planters, and the newer one (3650) only came with no till counters and not cleaners, whereas our old planter had some worn out cleaners that the shop guys thought weren't worth using on the new planter.

Question is, do row cleaners give a yield difference?

Particularly we run an even 50-50 corn and bean rotation, no till on each. Never had an issue planting corn into bean stubble, but we plant beans into corn stalks, and our corn head does have stalk stompers on it. Is there a use for row cleaners in corn stalks? I've seen studies that double cropping corn it's useful to have cleaners but also that for beans into stalks, it's not as necessary. I'd love to have them, but if it's going to cost $10k for 16 cleaners I got to be sure I can make.my money back on them
