Well, if you are going to do tillage prior to planting, and do it by yourself, planting 300 ac with 6 row equipment will take 8-10 days. I would hire the spraying done and have the fertilizer spread. Nitrogen for the corn can be put on with the spray (liquid N) or knifed in (NH3). If you are tilling, two tractors is a must, one to till and one to leave hitched to the planter. I use a JD 4630 (150 hp) to till and a JD 4010 (80 hp) to plant. The 4010 pulls the JD7000 6 row 30" planter.
To harvest, I use a JD6620 combine with a 6 row corn head and a 218 bean head. The 218 is 18 ft and will do 7 rows of 30 inch rows. If you are handy, an old combine will work, you just have to fix it prior to fall. If you are not handy, hire it done.
You will find that you never have enough "stuff" or enough sheds to put it all in but man, the toys you will have......LOL

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
