Commodity Classic is one of the largest farm shows in the country and is a great time to see the latest and greatest in farming technology and equipment. At this year?s show many people were excited to stop by the Kinze exhibit to see the newest planting equipment in the Kinze line.
Brad Niensteadt lead product specialist at Kinze Manufacturing says that farmers are excited to get to see the new 5000 series planter in person.
Niensteadt says the 5000 series features greaseless gauge wheel arms that help lessen the amount of daily maintenance work.
He says the 5000 series planter is a direct result of working with growers to build a planter that fits what they need.
The new planters will replace Kinze?s current 4905 and 4705 models with the same configurations. The 5900 will be available in 24-row, 30-inch; 16-row, 30-inch; and 12-row, 30-inch configurations. The 5700 will be offered in 36-row, 20-inch and 24-row, 30-inch versions, as well as a 24-row, 20-inch narrow row planter.
Niensteadt says that because a Kinze expert helped to develop each part of the planter, any needed repairs or fixes can be handled in house.
The Iowa Agribusiness Radio Network spoke with Brad Niensteadt at Commodity Classic in Orlando Florida in March.
