Western Iowa | I agree on comparing a 3660 with a 1790. That is what I did and came away thinking the deere was a better built planter. Keep in mind I have a kinze planter and have a good dealer. I just didn't feel right about getting a new one without looking at others and I am glad I did. It wasn't a salesman that sold me on the deere planter. It was spending 4 hours on 2 lots about 1/2 mile apart crawling all over the planters on a sunday afternoon.
My decision wasn't based on worring about the frame breaking on the kinze. Looking at the newer series you can see they have made some changes and are likely improved. I personally think the 3600 series might have some issues but the 3660 with the mainframe wheels I can't really tell, but it looks heavier built. I didn't like how the toolbar 'latches' to the trasport subframe when in planting mode. I think that will become an issue as the planters age but I am not positive.
There are some other negatives in my mind about the kinze bars (at least on the 40ft bars) but no piont in hashing it out. | |
