| I would argue slightly about characterizing him as silly for buying the first year of the model. It really shouldn't be a problem although I admit it does seem to be too often. I think that is part of IGF's point. Every equipment manufacturer seems to put out some trial units for at least a year ahead to work out these problems and i assume Kinze did the same. Since they announced this planter before last year's planting, I assume they had ten or twenty of them in the field last year to work out these problems.
A more important point to me is that many of IGF's problems as he has detailed them are not with the new technology but with factory workmanship. My conjecture from what he has said is that Kinze tried to rush too many units out the door this season and that their quality control was lacking. | |
