I am an old farmer that started farming again after retiring because I always loved doing it. Nothing big, 560 acres I farm myself but the majority of my ground I rent out. I bought a new 8 row Kinze old style-- brush meters and finger pickups. It is extremely accurate and simple and while the new, high tech stuff is OK if you have enough acres, I am astonished how well the old technology works, although they have made improvements to both the the finger pickup and brush meter. It works great, planter is built like a tank and I would have nothing else.
For Model Year 25 the 5670 will be offered in Split Row configurations 31 ROW 15″ | 23 ROW 15″, which will also allow a farmer to plant 30 inch spacing with the push units up.
I used to work at kinze as a painter . Great people .
Kinze is a great company
How does this planter compare with the new JD planters?

Will this be available in 30 inch row spacing?

Might as well turn comments off.
