Retrofit Kits

Your Current Planters. The Latest Technologies.

Update existing Kinze planters with yield-boosting, profit-increasing technology. Retrofit kits improve seed depth control and spacing, enable variable rate planting, reduce seed waste, and improve planting performance.

True Depth Active Hydraulic Down Force

Achieve accurate and consistent seed depth with True Depth active hydraulic down force.  It is a responsive solution for varying field conditions.  Equipped with simple and quick reacting hydraulics, an active row-by-row control system, True Depth eliminates constant manual adjustment of down force, allowing you to focus on getting seed in the ground.

Available For: 3600/3605, 3660/3665, 4900/4905

Kinze True Rate Vacuum Meter

Upgrade to superior singulation and precise placement by replacing existing discontinued EdgeVac vacuum meters with Kinze True Rate vacuum meters. Not only does it plant corn and soybeans, but many other crops as well with 99% accuracy, at speeds up to 8 mph, as field conditions allow. It’s simple, durable, and easily maintained design requires only one singulator for easy operation, optimum performance, and low cost of ownership. When changing crops, an easy changeover of the meter disc and a quick adjustment to the singulator is all that is required.

EdgeVac vacuum meters to True Rate vacuum meter retrofit kits are available for:
3000/3005, 3110/3115, 3140/3145, 3200/3205, 3500/3505, 3600/3605, 3660/3665, 3700/3705

Redesigned Bulk Fill Seed Entrainer

The redesigned 05 Series bulk fill entrainer delivers the variety of seeds you plant during a busy planting season. Requiring no mechanical agitation, this air-pressurized bulk fill seed delivery system handles various seed sizes, higher populations, and supports planting speeds up to 12 mph. Shut off gate enables easy service or cleanout for seed remaining in the hoppers. Compatible with 11 different seed types.

Available for: 3500/3505, 3600/3605, 3660/3665, 3700/3705, 4900/4905

 

Electric Clutches

Diminish overplanting. Reduce seed cost and maximize yield by eliminating overplanting at end rows, point rows, and in irregularly-shaped fields.

Available For:  3000/3205, 3660/3665, 3700/3705

Hydraulic Drive

Plant at variable rates. Match seed population to soil types by adding a hydraulic drive retrofit kit. The hydraulic drive enables adjustment of planting rates on-the-go from the cab using field prescription maps or by manual control.

Available For:  3600/3605, 3700/3705

Pneumatic Down Pressure

Provide uniform seed depth. Proper seed depth across the planter is critical for consistent emergence leading to higher yield potential. The Kinze pneumatic downforce retrofit kit ensures consistent seed depth by maintaining consistent downforce at each row unit.

Available For: 3500/3505, 3600/3605, 3660/3665, 3700/3705, 4900/4905

Even Row

Avoid running tractor tires on damaging corn stubble when planting 15-inch no-till beans by adding a Kinze even row push unit. Also benefit from a smoother planter ride, more accurate seed placement and depth, and utilizing the full width of the planter.

Available For: 3500/3505, 3600/3605, 3660/3665

Spiked Closing Wheel

Reduce seed trench compaction. To improve root penetration of seedlings, the sidewalls of the seed trench need to be firm but not compacted. The angular tooth design of this closing wheel promotes consistent plant emergence—especially in tough no-till conditions and saturated soils.

Available For: 3000/3005, 3110/3115, 3140/3145, 3200/3205, 3500/3505, 3600/3605, 3660/3665, 3700/3705, 4900/4905
