garden

Early normal was 42", the width of a horse's arse. Then came 36" rows, then came narrow row, 30". Beans could be planted in the above rows, broadcast, or drilled in at 7-8" rows. Most planted in rows, are now 15". THe Idea with beans is, the quicker you get the canopy to close, the less weed competition you get. Closer rows close the canopy faster.
 
I plant about a1/2 acre every year and have my 2 Super C's set up on 36" rows. I don't irrigate. I drill corn with a C251 planter at 6-8" spacing and grow way more sweet corn than I can use. Also plant green beans, black eyed peas ,sugar snap peas with pictured rig. My other Super C is set up with the fertilizer side dressers and cultivators. This planter was set to 42" rows before I reconditioned it.

I like 36" rows for a garden. Makes it easy to get around in and keeps weeds down. I have a buddy who planted on 48" rows and crops didn't get enough of a canopy to block out weeds between the rows.

Here in Kansas, corn is presently planted in 30" rows. Beans are planted in 30" rows, or 15" rows, or drilled and varies from one farmer to another. Nobody really farms row crop style anymore. That kinda ended when cultivating got phased out. The farm acres are now sprayed for weed control. They still try to follow the rows when spraying corn for the most part, but beans they pretty much just drive over the top of em crossways from how they were planted. If your question pertains to wheel placement, your rear wheel would need to be adjusted to be in the center of 2 rows.
