Kinze 3600 Vision
Kinze Manufacturing introduced its first precision technology planter last
year. The 3600V Twin-Line planter is equipped with Kinze's Vision system
that allows operators to both monitor planter functions and change seeding
rates on the go from a single touch-screen display in the cab. Coupled with
GPS, the planter will also record and map seeding population, hybrid and
variety locations, and planted areas. Kinze partnered with Ag Leader to
develop this precision technology. The 3600V Twin-Line planter is the first
Kinze planter model with the Vision technology.
Base prices are $64,332 for a 3600V Mechanical Twin-Line 12-row, 30-in.
