For the Love of Machinery: the 2016 National Farm Machinery Show
Love was in the air last week in Louisville. Not because of Valentine’s Day, but because of all the heavy iron on display at the National Farm Machinery Show, hosted on February 10-13. The Kinze Manufacturing booth was the place to be, as scores of farmers looking to update their planters with new features and technology stopped by to discuss our latest product offerings. Visitors consistently expressed a desire to find ways to improve efficiency and yields on tighter budgets as the farming economy continues to recover from its downswing. The crowd was excited about the upcoming dealer-installed hydraulic drive kit for the 4900 Planter. Kinze is offering the kit for 16 row and 24 row 4900 Planters this spring.

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 the latest installment of Kinze in the Field to see why Kinze equipment and dealer support give Craig confidence in the field.

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 language barriers and a few interesting obstacles to build the planter in about three days, all without having to sacrifice any doorframes. In the future, when 4900 planters are sent...
