Nebraska Farmer Says Kinze is Focused on Its Specialties
Today, Sparks of Innovation takes you to Cortland, Nebraska, where Craig Schmidt plants corn and soybeans with a Kinze 3660 16 Row planter, and counts on Kinze 600 and 1050 grain carts at harvest time. Schmidt said Kinze stays focused on its specialties – row crop planters and grain carts – and that's why he stays true to blue. “Kinze just specializes in certain lines of equipment. They’re not specializing in everything from tractors to combines to this and that,” said Craig, whose first Kinze machine was a 12 Row Econo Fold planter with liquid fertilizer and coulters. “So Kinze is solely concentrating, I feel, on their planter line and on their grain cart line. That’s what makes Kinze different from everybody else.” Watch...

First Kinze 4900 Assembled in Europe
Members of the Kinze team from the United States and the Czech Republic recently assembled the first Kinze 4900 planter in Europe. Service teams from multiple dealerships throughout the Czech Republic and Slovakia, where the customer’s farming operation is located, worked together to help make this happen. While large planters aren’t currently common in the European Union, farmers there are beginning to see the advantage of having larger, modern, equipment like the Kinze 4900. The complexity and size of the 4900 required the assembly team to be creative at times. For example, they had to figure out how to squeeze the planter from the assembly cell through a door to a neighboring service bay. In the end, the team overcame...

Kinze is a Johnson Family Farming Tradition
For Jerod Johnson, Kinze planters and grain carts have become part of his family’s farming tradition. His father purchased his first Kinze planter 25 years ago and the Johnson family has been using Kinze equipment on their farms near Avoca, Iowa ever since. Originally, Kinze’s push row units caught the eye of Jerod’s dad. As he learned more about Kinze planters, he decided to switch brands and he purchased his first Kinze planter. Then when the family switched from 6 row to 12 row planting, they stuck with Kinze because of the unique center pivot toolbar, which made transportation between fields easy. Soon after, they purchased a Kinze grain cart with a new upright auger and scale so they could fill semis in...
Great Kinze Innovations: the Brush Type Seed Meter
It was the late 1980s when engineer Harry Deckler came up with a big idea for a new seed meter that would allow farmers to plant soybeans with unmatched accuracy. Deckler was wholly confident in his idea, but his current employer didn’t share his enthusiasm and vision. So Deckler reached out to Jon Kinzenbaw of Kinze Manufacturing. What followed would change the row crop planter industry forever. Until that time, soybeans were planted with a grain drill and were not accurately singulated. Deckler’s idea was to design a disc with seed pockets located around the periphery, which would agitate and singulate the seeds as the disc rotated within the seed reservoir. Kinzenbaw recognized its potential right away. “The companies...

Nebraska Farmer Likes His Planters Built Rugged
Today, Sparks of Innovation takes you to Daykin, Nebraska, where Mike Homolka has been planting corn and soybeans with Kinze planters since 2003. “My first Kinze was a 3600 planter with 16 row 30 inch spacing. Ever since that first planter, I’ve always felt like Kinze products have been built very well. Structurally they have been very sound, and the technology that’s built into them generally has worked really well,” says Mike, who now plants with a Kinze 4900 16 row and uses a 1050 grain cart for harvest. Watch the video below to see why Mike believes the reliability and the design of Kinze products are unmatched. And click here to view his full testimonial.
